Blue Jackets sign Justin Falk to 1-year, 2-way deal

Another day, another depth defender kept under their label.

The Columbus Blue Jackets signed Justin Falk to a one-year, two-way deal to stick with the organization for a second season, one day after retaining Cody Goloubef on a two-year agreement, the team announced Friday.

Falk was acquired at the trade deadline in a deal that sent veteran rearguard Jordan Leopold to the Minnesota Wild.

He chipped in with a goal and two points in five starts.
