Ford had been with the Jets since the start of the regular season, and he recorded an assist, 20 hits, 11 blocked shots and four PIM while averaging 9:49 of ice time over 11 appearances. However, Morgan Barron (undisclosed) and Cole Koepke (undisclosed) were activated off injured reserve Monday, so Ford will head to the minors, where he should have more consistent opportunities to play.
