The Sharks have claimed now former Washington Capitals defender Vincent Iorio off waivers earlier today. To make space on the 23-man roster, Timothy Liljegren has been placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Liljegren had been listed as day-to-day with a lower-body injury he suffered late in Tuesday's game against the Hurricanes.
Iorio was drafted in the 2nd round back in 2021 by the Washington Capitals out of the WHL. He has since become a solid contributor at the AHL level, scoring 56 points in 190 games with a plus-39 rating. He has also played in 3 NHL games, registering an assist.
