Blue Jackets' Jake Christiansen: Inks one-year extension
Rotowire
Christiansen signed a one-year, two-way contract extension with Columbus on Monday.
Christiansen racked up 11 goals and 34 points in 50 games with AHL Cleveland during the 2022-23 season. The 23-year-old defenseman also contributed four assists, 25 shots on goal, 23 blocked shots and 20 hits in 24 NHL appearances with Columbus last campaign. Christiansen could split time between the NHL and AHL again in 2023-24, but it wouldn't be a surprise if the bulk of his playing time came in the minors.

Blue Jackets' Jake Christiansen: Sent back to minors
Rotowire
Christiansen was reassigned to AHL Cleveland on Wednesday.
Christiansen's demotion to the minors is a little surprising considering the Jackets will be back in action Thursday and Friday against Pittsburgh and Buffalo and there aren't any AHL games between now and then. With all the injuries for Columbus, don't be surprised to see Christiansen brought back up before puck drop Thursday.

Blue Jackets' Jake Christiansen: Sent back to AHL Cleveland
Rotowire
Christiansen was reassigned to the minors Wednesday.
Christiansen's demotion may not mean that Nick Blakenburg (ankle) is ready to play, as the club can still recall Christiansen or another defenseman ahead of Thursday's clash with New Jersey. In his 23 games this year, the 23-year-old Christiansen notched three assists, 25 shots and 20 hits while averaging just 14:55 of ice time.

Blue Jackets' Jake Christiansen: Misses practice Thursday
Rotowire
Christansen (undisclosed) missed practice Thursday and is questionable to play versus Boston, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.
Adam Boqvist (undisclosed) also missed practice and coach Brad Larsen hopes that at least one can play Thursday. The Blue Jackets recalled Marcus Bjork on an emergency basis, so at least there will be five healthy defensemen if Christiansen and Boqvist are both unable to play. Christiansen has three assists in 20 NHL games this season.

Christiansen was sent down to make room on the roster for Emil Bemstrom, who was recalled in a corresponding move.

Blue Jackets' Jake Christiansen: Recalled from AHL
Rotowire
Christiansen was recalled from AHL Cleveland on Friday.
The Blue Jackets are reeling on the blue line with injuries from Thursday's action to Zach Werenski (shoulder) and Nick Blankenburg (ankle), hence the call-up of Christiansen. He played eight games for Columbus last season, scoring once on four shots.

Blue Jackets' Jake Christiansen: Demoted to minors
Rotowire
Christiansen was reassigned to AHL Cleveland on Thursday.
Christiansen has logged just eight games for the Jackets this season in which he averaged a meager 9:46 of ice time. By shuffling the 22-year-old defenseman back to the minors, he should see significantly more minutes with the Monsters. Given Columbus' depth at defense, Christiansen may be hard-pressed to secure a place on the 23-man roster heading into the 2022-23 campaign.
