The Columbus Blue Jackets have picked up defenseman Jordan Harris in a trade with the Montreal Canadiens. The 24-year-old blue-liner was sent to Ohio in exchange for Patrik Laine, with the Blue Jackets also receiving a 2026 second-round draft selection. After being named the Hockey East Best Defensive Defenseman in 2022, Harris made 131 appearances with the Canadiens, posting 32 points (eight goals, 24 assists). Last season, he had three goals and 11 assists in 56 games, adding 86 blocks on the defensive end. Harris averages close to 1.5 blocks per game for his career but is fairly limited offensively, making him a non-factor in fantasy hockey.
Montreal Canadiens defenseman Jordan Harris will be on the shelf indefinitely with a lower-body injury. The 23-year-old returned from a two-game absence at the weekend but suffered a new injury blow, and it's going to be a while until he's ready to play again. Harris has notched three points in 16 games this season, adding 28 blocks. The Montreal defense appears cursed in terms of injuries, as Arber Xhekaj (upper body) also went down recently, and David Savard (hand) has been a long-term absentee along with Chris Wideman (back).
Montreal Canadiens defenseman Jordan Harris (upper body) is a game-time call for Sunday's game against Vancouver. The 23-year-old exited Saturday's contest against Boston early due to an upper-body injury and could miss his first game of the season. Harris sits fourth on the team with 22 blocks but has done very little offensively, with only two assists tallied with seven shots on goal in 14 outings. Montreal has recalled Gustav Lindstrom from the AHL to replace Harris on Sunday if he can't go.
Montreal Canadiens defenseman Jordan Harris potted two goals as the team shocked Edmonton with a 6-2 victory on Sunday. He put the team 2-0 up early in the second period and also found the back of the net at the start of the third period with the team's fifth goal. Harris logged 23:15 of ice time and finished as a plus-four for the game, adding three shots and one block to his line with two penalty minutes. It was an impressive performance by Harris, but he entered Sunday's action with an 18-game scoring drought and he holds very little value in fantasy hockey. The 22-year-old has totaled 13 points in 49 games with 52 shots on net, 40 hits and 68 blocks.
