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.

The Canadiens have signed Michael Mccarron to a one-year, two-way contract.

McCarron was a first-round pick (No.25 overall) in 2013 but has yet to make an impact at the NHL level. The 24-year-old had 21 points (7G / 14A) in 32 games with Laval (AHL) last year, but had just one assist in 18 NHL games. In total, McCarron has just eight points (2G / 6A) and 110 PIMS in 69 career games with Montreal.

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.
