Posted January 27, 2020 6:00 am
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - The Columbus Blue Jackets signed forward Eric Robinson to a two-year contract extension on Monday.
The 24-year-old Robinson was pressed into action at the NHL level this season because of rash of injuries to regulars. He has responded with five goals and four assists and a +10 plus/minus rating in 31 games. He got his first NHL goal on Nov. 12 at Montreal.
Robinson, who played college hockey at Princeton, would have been a restricted free agent this summer. Contract terms were not disclosed.
General Manager Jarmo Kekalainen announced the move as the Blue Jackets began their NHL-mandated winter break. They return to action Feb. 1 at Buffalo.
