Jooris, 27, was acquired by the Penguins from the Carolina Hurricanes at the NHL Trading Deadline in exchange for Greg McKegg. The fourth-year veteran played in 31 NHL games with the Hurricanes earlier this season, producing six points (3G-3A).
The 6-foot-1, 197-pound Jooris has appeared in three games with WBS since his acquisition, scoring once. His lone tally with WBS was a big one, as it came in the final minute of regulation, forcing overtime, on March 4 in Milwaukee.
Overall, the Burlington, Ontario native has played in 204 career NHL games with Calgary, the New York Rangers, Arizona and Carolina. In those contests, Jooris has 23 goals, 32 assists and 55 points.
Jooris originally joined the Calgary organization as an undrafted free agent following a three-year collegiate career at Union College.
The Penguins, winners of three games in a row, visit the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night at 7:00 PM. That game can be watched on AT&T SportsNet, or you can listen on the team's official radio flagship, 105.9 The X.
