The Columbus Blue Jackets are working to sign defenseman Carson Soucy to a contract following his professional tryout agreement, according to The Athletic's Aaron Portzline. The 32-year-old unrestricted free agent attended training camp on a PTO since September 13. Columbus carries 21 players, leaving two spots under the 23-man NHL roster limit.
The Blue Jackets' need on defense increased after Dante Fabbro suffered an upper-body injury expected to sideline him for at least a month. Damon Severson also remains uncertain for the season opener against the Buffalo Sabres. Soucy played 76 games last season split between the New York Rangers and New York Islanders.
