The Columbus Blue Jackets have reduced their training camp roster by 13 players, club general manager Don Waddell announced Saturday. The training camp roster now stands at 38 players, composed of 22 forwards, 12 defensemen, and four goaltenders.

The latest moves came after the first two weeks of training camp. The Blue Jackets have loaned defensemen Caleb MacDonald and Guillaume Richard to the Cleveland Monsters, the club’s American Hockey League affiliate.

The team has placed the following players on waivers for the purposes of assigning them to Cleveland: D Dysin Mayo, F Hunter McKown, G Zach Sawchenko and F Owen Sillinger.

The Blue Jackets also announced that F Roman Ahcan, F Riley Bezeau, D Ole Julian Bjorgvik-Holm, D Will MacKinnon and F Ryland Mosley have been assigned to Cleveland on AHL contracts. In addition, F Jordan Dumais and D Luca Marrelli have been designated as Injured/Non-Roster.

Earlier this week, Columbus loaned defenseman Charlie Elick to the Western Hockey League’s Tri-City Americans. In addition, Columbus loaned netminder Evan Gardner to the Western Hockey League’s Saskatoon Blades and forward Owen Griffin to the Ontario Hockey League’s Oshawa Generals.

The Blue Jackets released forward Nicholas Sima and defenseman Marcus Kearsey from their amateur tryout contracts.

Columbus plays their fifth preseason game Saturday at Pittsburgh, in which future Hall-of-Famer Marc-André Fleury will get the start in goal for the Pens so that he can finish up his career in the Steel City. The puck drops at PPG Paints Arena at 7:00 p.m. Fans can watch the game on BlueJackets.com and listen on 93.3 The Bus.
