Joe Morrow News

The Devils have signed Joe Morrow to a one-year, two-way contract.

Morrow spent the 2018-19 season with the Jets, where he had one goal and six assists (seven points) in 41 games. It was a career-high in games played for the former first-round pick, who is expected to head to Binghamton (AHL) should he clear waivers.

Morrow will be back in the Jets lineup on Friday.

Morrow has been a healthy scratch for three of the last four games, but will replace Dmitry Kulikov in Friday’s game vs. the Panthers. Morrow is still searching for his first point, but has picked up 11 shots while playing 13:40 TOI/GM in 10 games this season.

The Jets acquired Joe Morrow from the Canadiens for a 2018 4th round pick.

Morrow has picked up five goals and six assists (11 points) in 38 games with the Canadiens this season. Morrow was drafted with a lower of offensive potential but it hasn’t really developed as expected on the NHL level. He will serve as a depth defenseman on a good Winnipeg team.

Morrow is expected to make his Canadiens debut on Tuesday.

Morrow, 24, was a first round pick in 2011 but has had a hard time sticking in NHL lineups. After spending three years in Boston, where he had just nine points (2G / 7A) in 65 games, Morrow is now with Montreal where he will replace Jordie Benn tonight. He has offensive upside, but has not shown it thus far.

Morrow will make his season debut on Thursday.

Morrow was a healthy scratch for the first three games of the regular season, but will replace rookie Rob O'Gara in the lineup on Thursday. Morrow had seven points (1G / 6A) in 33 games with the Bruins last year and will be paired with Torey Krug tonight.
