Blue Jackets' Patrick Dwyer: Earns PTO

Dwyer signed a professional tryout agreement (PTO) with the Blue Jackets on Wednesday.

Analysis:

Including Dwyer, who played in the Swedish Hockey League last season, Columbus added six players to the training camp roster Wednesday. The Western Michigan University product has seven years of NHL experience with the Hurricanes. In the event that he breaks camp with the Jackets, Dwyer should boost a penalty kill that ranked 18th in the league last year.
