In 21 games with the Sharks this season, the 23-year-old had three assists. He also appeared in six contests with the AHL’s San Jose Barracuda, where he had seven assists.
A second-round pick (55th overall) in 2021 by Washington, Iorio played nine NHL games over two seasons with the Capitals, recording one assist.
He helped the team’s AHL affiliate, the Hershey Bears, capture back-to-back Calder Cup championships in 2023 and 2024.
Iorio is in the final season of his three-year, entry-level contract.
