The Toronto, Ontario native has scored a goal in four of his last five games and has recorded a point in seven of his last 10 contests.

Pirri appeared in 60 games with the New York Rangers during the 2016-17 season and finished with 18 points (eight goals, 10 assists). He has played parts of nine seasons with four NHL teams, totaling 226 games, and has 98 career points (57 goals, 41 assists).
