The Hamilton, Ontario native has notched two goals and 16 assists for 18 points in 174 career NHL games between the Rangers, Nashville Predators and Ottawa Senators.

Harpur began his season with the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League (AHL), where he tallied five points (3G-2A) in 17 games. In 193 career AHL games between the Wolf Pack, Milwaukee Admirals, Toronto Marlies and the Belleville/Binghamton Senators, Harpur has registered 10 goals and 51 assists for 61 points.
The 6-6, 231 pound defenseman was originally selected by Ottawa in the fourth round, 108th overall, of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.
