The New York Rangers placed defenseman Jarred Tinordi on waivers, per TSN’s Chris Johnston.
Tinordi last dressed for a Rangers game on Jan. 10, a loss to Los Angeles. He has a goal in just seven games with the Rangers this season, averaging only 12:55 of ice time per game.
He played five games earlier this season with the AHL’s Hartford Wolf Pack on a conditioning loan in December after playing just five games during October and November. Often a healthy scratch, the Rangers will gain a bit more roster flexibility if Tinordi clears.
A first-round pick of the Montreal Canadiens in 2010, the 29-year-old Tinordi has been claimed on waivers once before. The Boston Bruins picked him up in February 2021, grabbing him from the Nashville Predators.
Tinordi is signed through 2022-23 with a cap hit of $900,000.
