Canucks Claim York Off Waivers
Pittsburgh Penguins center Harry York was claimed off waivers Tuesday by the Vancouver Canucks and will join his third NHL team in two weeks.
York and Alexei Kovalev were part of the five-player deal that sent Petr Nedved to the New York Rangers on Nov. 25. In seven games this season, only two with the Penguins, York has no points and four penalty minutes.

York has 18 goals and 42 points since breaking into the NHL with the St. Louis Blues in the 1996-97 season. He is expected to join the Canucks Tuesday in Anaheim as they prepare for Wednesday's game against the Mighty Ducks.
