The Vancouver Canucks signed Jordan to a three-year contract in 2015. After training camp, Jordan started his professional career with the Utica Comets. This team is part of the American Hockey League (AHL). He played the whole 2015–16 season with the Comets. He scored 11 goals and made 25 assists in 67 games.

For the 2016–17 season, Jordan again played for the Comets. In January 2017, he was named an AHL All-Star. Soon after, the Canucks called him up to the NHL. He did not play any games in the NHL at that time. In December 2017, Jordan was traded to the Los Angeles Kings. This trade was in exchange for another player, Nic Dowd.

Jordan finished that season with the Kings' AHL team, the Ontario Reign. After the season, the Kings did not offer him a new contract. He then became a free agent. On July 1, 2018, he signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs. This was a one-year contract.
