Reassigned to AHLChaffee was placed on waivers for reassignment to the AHL on Saturday.

Lights lamp twice SaturdayLaine scored two goals in Saturday's 4-3 preseason loss to the Sabres.
Advice: Centering a line between Kirill Marchenko and Emil Bemstrom, Laine found the back of the net in the first and second periods. The Blue Jackets are taking a long look at the possibility of using Laine at center during the regular season, and performances like this would seem to make that more likely to happen. The 25-year-old hasn't played more than 56 games in a season since 2018-19 due to injuries, but in the last two years for Columbus, he's maintained an 82-game scoring pace of 35 goals and 80 points.

Playing SaturdayKyrou (lower body) is in the lineup for Saturday's preseason matchup with the Stars, per Jeremy Rutherford of the Athletic.
Advice: After missing Thursday's game with a lower-body injury, Kyrou appears good to go, as he'll rejoin the Blues' first line against Dallas on Saturday.

Good start to preseasonBemstrom has scored two goals, including one on the power play, and added an assist in two preseason games as he fights to secure a spot on the Blue Jackets' Opening Night roster, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.
Advice: The 24-year-old winger hasn't been able to develop into a consistent offensive force in the NHL since his arrival in 2019-20, although he did manage a career-high 22 points (seven goals, 15 assists) in 55 games last season. The Blue Jackets' crowded forward group could push Bemstrom off the roster for Opening Night, especially if new head coach Pascal Vincent doesn't see him as a defensive fit for fourth-line duty. Rotowire.comEmil Bemstrom CBJ - RW -
