COLUMBUS, Ohio -
The Columbus Blue Jackets have reassigned
defenseman Nick Holden to their American Hockey League affiliate in
Springfield, Mass.
Holden recorded 17:19
total ice time and had a plus-1 rating in two games with Columbus. He had four
goals and 18 assists in 44 games with Springfield prior to his brief call-up
due to injuries to veteran defensemen.

signed by the Blue
Jackets as a free
agent on March 28, 2008. The 6-foot-4, 207-pound blue-liner signed a one-year contract
extension with Columbus in each of the past two summers.
He is scoreless in
seven career NHL games.
