Blue Jackets' Sedlak signs in KHL

Columbus Blue Jackets restricted free-agent forward Lukas Sedlak has signed a two-year contract with Traktor Chelyabinsk of the KHL, his agent J.P. Barry told The Athletic's Aaron Portzline.

Sedlak spent the last three seasons with the Blue Jackets, serving primarily as the club's fourth-line center. In 162 career NHL contests - all with Columbus - he tallied 15 goals and 12 assists while averaging 9:24 per game.

The 26-year-old was a sixth-round pick by the Jackets in 2011 and was one of the team's many pending free agents.
