26-year-old defenseman Joe Morrow has received a professional tryout (PTO) with the New York Rangers. Morrow has played 162 career NHL games with Winnipeg, Montreal and Boston.
The unrestricted free agent was drafted 23rd overall by the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2011. He played with the team's AHL affiliate until he was traded to the Dallas Stars in March of 2013 (for Brendan Morrow - no relation). After less than four months in Dallas, and no games in the NHL, Morrow was shipped to the Boston Bruins as part of the Tyler Seguin trade. It was in Boston that he finally got his first taste of NHL action. After three seasons with Boston, he signed as a free agent with Montreal in 2017, but was traded to the Winnipeg Jets in February of 2018. He re-signed with Winnipeg for the 2018-2019 season and became a free agent once again in July of this year after playing just 41 games in the regular season.
In his 162 NHL games, Morrow has nine goals and 32 points.
