Blue Jackets sign Jarret Stoll to PTO

The Columbus Blue Jackets have invited 34-year-old Jarret Stoll to a professional tryout, the team announced Tuesday.

Stoll split last season between the New York Rangers and Minnesota Wild, recording four goals and five assists between the two clubs.

Prior to joining the Rangers in 2015-16, he spent seven seasons with the Los Angeles Kings - with whom he won two Stanley Cups - as a reliable depth centerman.

The Blue Jackets aren't particularly deep at the pivot position, and ranked 24th league-wide in faceoff win percentage (49) last season. Stoll could certainly prove to valuable in that sense, as he has a career mark of 55.3 percent in the faceoff circle.
