The Columbus Blue Jackets signed Egor Zamula to a one-year, National Hockey League contract for the remainder of the 2025-26 season, club general manager Don Waddell announced Tuesday.  

Zamula, 25, has registered eight goals and 33 assists, while logging 15:53 average time on ice in 168 career NHL games with the Philadelphia Flyers, including 0-1-1, a +4 plus/minus rating and 14:02 TOI in 13 outings this season.

“Egor is a mobile defenseman with good size who sees the ice well and can move the puck very efficiently. We are excited to have him join our hockey club,” said Waddell. 

The 6-3, 200-pound blueliner was signed by the Flyers as a free agent on Sept. 20, 2018. He split his first three professional seasons between Philadelphia and the American Hockey League’s Lehigh Valley Phantoms from 2020-23 and has collected 5-51-56 in 130 career AHL games, including 0-2-2 in three outings this season.

A native of Chelyabinsk, Russia, he played three seasons in the Western Hockey League from 2017-20, tallying 19-83-102 and a cumulative +25 plus/minus rating in 158 games with the Regina Pats and Calgary Hitmen.

Zamula helped Russia capture a silver medal at the 2020 IIHF World Junior Championships and was named one of the squad’s Top Three Players at the tournament.
