The Columbus Blue Jackets have recalled defenseman Andrew Bodnarchuk from the Lake Erie Monsters of the AHL on Saturday.

Bodnarchuk, 27, has scored eight points in 14 games to lead all Monsters blueliners in scoring. He has played five career NHL games, all with the Boston Bruins in the 2009-10 season.

His promotion comes as fellow defenseman Cody Goloubef is undergoing surgery for a broken jaw suffered after blocking a shot Friday against the Nashville Predators. A timeline for his return will be known after the procedure, Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch reports.
