The Columbus Blue Jackets signed defenseman Michael Del Zotto to a one-year, two-way contract, the club announced Sunday.
Columbus brought Del Zotto in on a professional tryout agreement in late December.
The 30-year-old became an unrestricted free agent after collecting 15 points in 49 games with the Anaheim Ducks last season.
He's suited up for six teams over 11 campaigns. The veteran blue-liner began his career with the New York Rangers under current Blue Jackets bench boss John Tortorella.
Del Zotto has produced 236 points in 657 career games.
