The Arizona Coyotes have claimed forward Josh Jooris off waivers. I find this to be odd only because I had no idea the Rangers placed Jooris on waivers. Jooris was signed in the offseason to a one-year deal, and was brought in to bring defensive stability to the penalty killing unit and the fourth line. Jooris struggled a little bit in the role, as he was a healthy scratch when the Rangers were fully healthy.
In 12 games with the Rangers, Jooris put up a line of 1-1-2, which is perfectly acceptable for his role. It seems that Nicklas Jensen and Marek Hrivik have passed him on the depth chart.
