According to TSN's Chris Johnston, the Columbus Blue Jackets have claimed forward
Lane Pederson off waivers from the Vancouver Canucks.
Pederson, 25, was acquired by the Canucks in October, along with
Ethan Bear, from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for a 2023 fifth-round pick. In ten games for the Canucks, the Saskatoon native has three points (one goal, two assists), 15 penalty minutes and is a plus-three.
The Saskatoon native now joins a Columbus team that he'll certainly get ice time with over the next couple of months. The Blue Jackets currently sit eighth in the Metropolitan Division with a record of 15-31-3.
