Luca Sbisa News

The Jets have inked Luca Sbisa to a one-year deal worth $800K.

Sbisa was part of the Jets' blueline rotation in 2020, tallying 10 points (2G / 8A) in 44 games. Sbisa is a big, physical defenseman, who ranked second among Jets' defensemen in Hits/60. Without adding any defensemen as of now, Sbisa will likely serve a similar role in 2021.

The Jets have claimed Luca Sbisa off of waivers from Anaheim.

The Ducks were planning on signing Sbisa but he had to pass through waivers first. The Jets shut that idea down by claiming the 29-year-old defenseman. He had one assist in nine games with the Islanders last year and has 103 points (18G / 85A) in 504 career NHL games with the Flyers, Ducks, Canucks, Golden Knights and Islanders.

Sbisa will be out 6-8 weeks after undergoing surgery to repair ruptured ligaments in his left hand.

After returning to the lineup last Friday, Sbisa suffered a hand injury that will require surgery and force him to miss at least a month and a half. Sbisa had a nice season going before getting hurt the first time, having collected 10 points (1G / 9A) in his first 24 games with the Golden Knights.
