Jurco has bounced around the NHL over the last few years and his latest stop will be in Vegas, or most likely Henderson (AHL). He only played in a combined 20 games last year, eight with Edmonton (NHL) and eight in Bakersfield (AHL). He had seven points (4G / 3A) in the AHL and will likely be a key contributor for the Silver Knights in 2021.
Jurco was gearing up to skate on a line with Connor McDavid in his Oilers debut, but won’t play due to an undisclosed medical procedure. With Jurco not on the ice, Edmonton shuffled their lines and Joakim Nygard took his spot next to Connor McDavid.
Jurco was actually traded for Cliff Pu, but you can’t trade an AHL contract for an NHL contract, hence the “future considerations.” Jurco has spent the entire season in the AHL, where he has four goals and six assists (10 points) in 14 games with Springfield. He will report to Charlotte (AHL).
Jurco appeared in 13 games with the Blackhawks last season but has spent all of this season in the AHL so far. The 25-year-old has collected 25 points (13G / 12A) in 36 games with the IceHogs and it looks like he could make his season debut this week.
After years of failing to land a permanent in Detroit, Jurco was acquired by the Blackhawks for a third round pick in February and posted just one goal in 13 games. Jurco has been over a point-per-game player at the AHL level in his last three seasons there, but can’t seem to land a solid NHL role.
Jurco missed the start of the season with a back injury, but went to Grand Rapids for a two-game conditioning stint on the weekend and he picked up one goal and one assist. With Tyler Bertuzzi going on IR, Jurco has been recalled and could be in the lineup on Tuesday.
Jurco underwent offseason back surgery and will not be ready until November. The 23-year-old had just six points (4G / 2A) in 44 games last season and might find it difficult to find regular playing time on a packed Red Wings’ roster again this season.
Jurco has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury, but he is expected to be in the lineup on Thursday. Jurco has one goal and two assists in 17 games this season.
Jurco has been a healthy scratch since October 31st and has only appeared in four games this season. He has had a tough time cracking the Red Wings’ lineup so he will head to Grand Rapids for a maximum of two weeks.
Jurco has been a healthy scratch for the last four games, but he will get back into the lineup tonight vs. the Hurricanes. Jurco, who will replace Landon Ferraro, has no points and one shot on goal in two games.
Jurco was a healthy scratch through the first two games of the season, but he is expected to be in the lineup tonight vs. the Lightning. Jurco had three goals and 15 assists (18 points) in 63 games last season—he is expected to replace Landon Ferraro in the lineup.
