COLUMBUS, OHIO – The Columbus Blue Jackets have activated left wing Matt Calvert off of Injured Reserve and reassigned center Jonathan Audy-Marchessault to the American Hockey League’s Springfield Falcons, club Executive Vice President and General Manager Scott Howson announced today.  Calvert, who has recorded eight shots on goal in six appearances this season, has missed Columbus’ last three games as a result of a lower body injury suffered on January 28 vs. Dallas.   Audy-Marchessault, 22, made his NHL debut on January 31 vs. St. Louis after being recalled from Springfield a day earlier. The 5-9, 175-pound forward also skated in Saturday’s 4-2 home win over Detroit and averaged 10:56 TOI during his two appearances with the Jackets. Named the AHL’s Player of the Month for January, Audy-Marchessault has recorded a team-high 16-29-45 in 42 games played with the Falcons this season. The Blue Jackets return to action tonight when they host the defending Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings at Nationwide Arena.  Game time is 7 p.m. ET. Live coverage on FOX Sports Ohio HD begins with the Blue Jackets Live pre-game show starting at 6:30 p.m.  The game will also be broadcast live on the Columbus Blue Jackets Radio Network, including flagship station WWCD 102.5 FM in Columbus, and online at BlueJackets.com. Single game tickets for Blue Jackets home games starting at $26 are on sale now at the Big Lots Box Office at Nationwide Arena, The OhioHealth Chiller Ice Rinks and all Ticketmaster Ticket Centers.  Fans can also purchase tickets by phone at (800) 745-3000 or online at BlueJackets.com, the official club web site, and ticketmaster.com.  For information about full and partial season tickets and group ticket opportunities, call (800) NHL-COLS or visit BlueJackets.com.
