The Blue Jackets have placed defenseman Dysin Mayo, a player once traded for Shea Weber, on waivers today, after Columbus signed Egor Zamula yesterday.
Blue Jackets defenseman Dysin Mayo has landed on waivers and will rejoin the AHL's Cleveland affiliate if he clears.
The Blue Jackets have also placed winger Mason Marchment on injured reserve, retroactive to Jan. 4, after taking an upper-body hit in Tuesday's game against the Penguins. He is week-to-week.
Columbus also recalled forward Mikael Pyyhtia from the AHL's Cleveland affiliate in a corresponding move.
Marchment, 30, did not play in yesterday's 5-2 loss to San Jose due to injury. He did not appear to have a noticeable setback against Pittsburgh, but it looks a bit more ominous given that he is now hurt.
He can return as early as Sunday's contest against the Mammoth, but it's likely that he'll be out for a few games.
What Mason Marchment has done in Columbus since the trade
Since the trade from the Seattle Kraken on December 19th, Marchment has elevated the play of the team.
The 6'5» left winger is tied for the most markers with Krill Marchenko with five since then; this is one more goal than he scored with the Kraken in the first 29 games of this season. He has 20 points in the first 36 games of the season.
Why Dysin Mayo was placed on waivers
Mayo was now an extra in the mix, seeing that Egor Zamula joined the team yesterday.
The 29-year-old right-shot defenseman, who boasts one assist in two games for the Columbus Jackets this year, was initially dealt to the Vegas Golden Knights from the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for Shea Weber on February 22nd, 2023.
With Zamula's arrival, Mayo was no longer needed, and he will presumably continue his season in Cleveland if he isn't claimed.
