After allowing forwards Mason Marchment and Boone Jenner to become unrestricted free agents, the Blue Jackets have signed Calgary Flames forward Ryan Lomberg to a two-year deal worth $1.3 million per season, according to Sportsnet.
Lomberg, 31, finished with four goals, five assists and nine points in 57 games for the Calgary Flames last season. He is going into his ninth NHL season after starting his career with the Flames in 2017.
Lomberg played four seasons for the Florida Panthers, helping them win the Stanley Cup in 2024.
Lomberg is a fourth-line forward who barely contributes offensively but plays a physical style and isn’t afraid to drop the glove for a scrap. He fought Blue Jackets enforcer Mathieu Olivier on Nov. 29, 2024, at Nationwide Arena and took a beating in a game Columbus won 5-2 in front of 17,035.
