Geoff Sanderson was placed on the injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Sept. 15, as part of the Columbus Blue Jackets' roster moves made to get down to the regular-season limit.
Sanderson, the team's leading goal scorer last season with 34, is eligible to come off injured reserve at any time. The left winger injured his shoulder during an intrasquad scrimmage and was held out of all eight preseason games. He is day-to-day.
Columbus also reassigned right winger Kent McDonell to Syracuse of the AHL and released left winger Riley Cote and defenseman Anders Eriksson. The moves leave the Blue Jackets at the NHL limit of 23 players.
