The New York Rangers have placed forward Josh Jooris on waivers today, reports Sportsnet’s Chris Johnston. Jooris was an undrafted free agent initially signed by the Calgary Flames in 2014, and most recently by the New York Rangers last offseason.
Jooris has struggled with the Rangers so far this season, collecting only 1G and 1A in 12 games. He has been a non-factor in New York’s last five games and averaging less than ten minutes of playing time. In 137 career NHL games, Jooris has 17G and 22A.
There was a rumor early this season that Jooris would join Geneve-Servette HC of the Swiss League. Jooris’s dad Mark Jooris played for the team, and Josh has Swiss documentation allowing him to play in the country. The move ended up not panning out, but Jooris’s demotion could renew interest in the overseas club.
