Bruins reportedly sign Haverhill’s Jordan Harris
Harris is a Haverhill native who played four seasons at Northeastern.
The Boston Bruins are reportedly bolstering their blue line with a local product.
According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, the Bruins have signed defenseman Jordan Harris. Terms of the contract has not been reported yet.
Harris, 24, is a 5-foot-11 left-shot defenseman who could serve as a reserve option on Boston’s D corps moving forward.
Harris has plenty of familiarity with Boston, as he hails from Haverhill and played four seasons at Northeastern — serving as captain of the Huskies during the 2021-22 season.
He hit the free agent market this week after the Blue Jackets opted to not quality Harris, who scored a goal and posted five points over 33 games in Columbus.

The fleet-footed skater spent the first three season of his career with the Canadiens — with his best season coming in 2022-23 with the Habs (four goals, 17 points over 65 games).
The Bruins conceivably have the left side of their D corps locked down for the 2024-25 season with Hampus Lindholm, Nikita Zadorov, and Mason Lohrei all signed. But Harris could step into the role as depth option for Boston when injuries inevitably sprout up.
