Blue Jackets recall Murray after 1-game AHL conditioning stint

The Blue Jackets are getting some reinforcements on the back end.

Defenseman Ryan Murray has been recalled from his one-game AHL conditioning stint, the team announced Monday. He hasn't played since Nov. 27 due to an upper-body injury, missing 34 games.

Injuries have plagued Murray throughout his career, as he's suited up for just 244 games in five seasons. The 2012 second overall pick has registered just 65 career points.

Also joining the big club with Murray is forward Zac Dalpe, while defenseman Dean Kukan has been placed on injured reserve.
