The Columbus Blue Jackets inked veteran defenseman Michael Del Zotto to a professional tryout contract, the club announced Friday.
Del Zotto, who was an unrestricted free agent, produced 15 points in 49 games with the Anaheim Ducks last season.
The 30-year-old split the 2018-19 campaign between the Vancouver Canucks, the Ducks, and the St. Louis Blues. Anaheim traded him to St. Louis at that trade deadline before re-signing him in July 2019.
Del Zotto has also suited up for the Philadelphia Flyers, Nashville Predators, and New York Rangers during his 11-year career.
The Ontario-born rearguard has collected 236 points in 657 games.
The Rangers selected him 20th overall in 2008.
