Vincent Iorio - NHL News & Rumors

On waivers Iorio was put on waivers by San Jose on Friday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Impact Iorio has three assists, 12 PIM, 11 hits and 32 blocks in 21 outings in 2025-26. He's spent the Sharks' past six games as a healthy scratch, so if he clears waivers, San Jose will likely send him to the minors so that the 23-year-old can get some playing time.

Pockets assist Tuesday Iorio logged an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Flames.

Impact Iorio played for the second game in a row and the fourth time in 11 contests since the end of his AHL conditioning loan in November. The 23-year-old defenseman is far from secure in the Sharks' lineup, which has seen a number of players rotate in and out on the blue line at times. Iorio has a helper, four shots on net, eight hits, 14 blocks, six PIM and a minus-3 rating over 10 appearances this season.

Back from conditioning loan Iorio was recalled from his conditioning stint with AHL San Jose on Monday.

Impact Iorio had seven assists, five shots on goal and a plus-7 rating in six minor-league outings during his conditioning assignment. He will be an option for Wednesday's game against Colorado, but it's unclear if he will be in the lineup.

Closes AHL loan with two helpers Iorio logged two assists in AHL San Jose's 4-3 overtime win over Abbotsford on Saturday.

Impact Iorio impressed during his 14-day conditioning loan, racking up seven helpers over six games in total, as well as a plus-7 rating and five shots on net. The Sharks will have to add him back to their NHL roster Sunday or expose him to waivers, which is how they got him from the Capitals in the first place. Assuming he stays with the Sharks, he should be in contention for bottom-four minutes moving forward, likely at the expense of John Klingberg or Vincent Desharnais. There could be a lot of shuffling of blueliners in and out of the lineup if the Sharks continue to carry nine defensemen.

Sent to AHL for conditioning Iorio was assigned to AHL San Jose on Sunday for a conditioning loan.

Impact Iorio served as a healthy scratch for Washington's first four games of the 2024-25 campaign, so it's not surprising to see him on waivers. He had five goals and 20 points in 67 regular-season outings with AHL Hershey in 2024-25.

Recalled from AHL Iorio was recalled from AHL Hershey on Saturday.

Impact The Capitals placed Jakob Chychrun (upper body) on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Iorio played six regular-season games for the Capitals last season as a 20-year-old and failed to pick up a point. Iorio had a goal and two assists in nine AHL games before his recall. He will likely be the seventh defenseman Saturday and in the press box when the Capitals face Columbus.

Dropped to AHL Iorio (upper body) was loaned to AHL Hershey on Monday.

Impact Iorio sat out three straight contests to conclude Washington's first-round series loss to the Rangers. Assuming he's healthy, which his demotion suggests, he should get a chance to play for the Bears in the AHL playoffs. The 21-year-old defender had four goals and 14 points in 60 minor-league appearances during the 2023-24 regular season.

Won't play Sunday Iorio (upper body) won't play Sunday in Game 4 against the Rangers, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

Impact Iorio stayed out late with Washington's expected scratches after participating in the morning skate in a non-contact capacity. He will miss his third straight outing due to an injury he sustained in Washington's playoff opener last Sunday. However, the Capitals will get some reinforcements on the blue line because Rasmus Sandin (upper body) and Nick Jensen (upper body) are set to return to the lineup.

In non-contact jersey Iorio (upper body) was at Saturday's morning skate in a non-contact jersey, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Iorio was injured Sunday in Game 1 and Saturday's practice was the first time he was back on the ice. The Capitals suffered another injury to their blue line Friday -- their fourth rearguard injury -- when Trevor van Riemsdyk suffered an upper-body injury when hit by Matt Rempe.

APRIL 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Friday Iorio (upper body) will remain out of the lineup for Game 3 against the Rangers on Friday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

APRIL 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play in Game 2 Iorio (upper body) will not be an option for Game 2 against the Rangers on Tuesday, Jean-Francois Chaumont of NHL.com reports.

Impact Iorio will join a growing list of blue-line absences that also includes Rasmus Sandin (upper body) and Nick Jensen (upper body). As a result, Lucas Johansen is poised to make his NHL playoffs debut. In his seven NHL games this season, the 21-year-old Iorio failed to register a point while chipping in just six shots, three hits and three blocks while averaging a mere 8:41 of ice time.

APRIL 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed day-to-day Iorio (upper body) is considered day-to-day, according to Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network.

Impact Iorio didn't participate in Monday's practice after being injured in Game 1's 4-1 loss to the Rangers on Sunday. If Iorio, Rasmus Sandin (upper body) and Nick Jensen (upper body) are unavailable to play Tuesday, Lucas Johansen could make his NHL playoff debut.

APRIL 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Exits Sunday's game Iorio (upper body) is questionable to return to Sunday's Game 1 matchup against the Rangers.

Impact Iorio was injured in the second period of the contest after being hit hard into the boards by Alexis Lafreniere. The 21-year-old Iorio appeared to be favoring his shoulder as he made his way off the ice.
