Vincent Iorio claimed on waivers by rival team. The former 2nd round pick has a new team after being claimed on waivers

JANUARY 31 • HOCKEYFEED.COM

Claimed off waivers Iorio was claimed off waivers by the Rangers from San Jose on Saturday, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

Impact Iorio had three assists, 12 PIM, 10 shots, 11 hits and 32 blocks in 21 outings with the Sharks in 2025-26 before being waived. The Rangers are missing Adam Fox (lower body), so they could use the added defensive depth that Iorio provides. Even so, there's no guarantee Iorio will get into the lineup.

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.

DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

NOVEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact Iorio has been a healthy scratch for the last seven games. Since being claimed off waivers from Washington on Oct. 16, he hasn't earned a point in six appearances with the Sharks, but he has registered three shots on net, six blocked shots and three hits.

San Jose Sharks claim defenseman Vincent Iorio off waivers from the Washington Capitals

The San Jose Sharks have claimed defenseman Vincent Iorio off waivers from the Washington Capitals

OCTOBER 16, 2025 • Associated Press

Claimed by San Jose Iorio was claimed off waivers by the Sharks on Thursday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Impact Iorio was waived by Washington on Wednesday as they tried to sneak him through to allow him to get some playing time in the minors. Iorio was a healthy scratch for all four Capitals games this season. The Sharks are hurting on the blue line as Timothy Liljegren (upper body) was placed on injured reserve earlier in the day and John Klingberg is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.

On waivers Iorio was put on waivers by Washington on Wednesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

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.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2025 • NHL.COM

Sent to minors Iorio was reassigned to AHL Hershey on Wednesday.

Impact Iorio didn't play for Washington during his NHL stint. He has a goal and three points across nine outings with Hershey in 2024-25. Matt Roy was activated off injured reserve in a corresponding move.

NOVEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

NOVEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

APRIL 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

APRIL 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact Iorio has not returned to practice since he was injured Sunday during Game 1 in New York. The 21-year-old blueliner was pointless in six NHL games during the regular season.

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.
