Blue Jackets Re-Sign Forward Tommy Sestito

The Columbus Blue Jackets announced today that they have re-signed left wing Tommy Sestito to a one-year, two-way contract. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. He appeared in three games with the Blue Jackets last season, scoring no points. He also played in 36 games with Syracuse of the AHL, scoring 10 goals and seven assists for 17 points and 138 penalty minutes. Not a terrible depth signing for Columbus, as Sestito plays with lots of grit and toughness, but doesn't have much offensive upside. With Jared Boll already signed for the next two seasons as the team enforcer, Sestito may not see much action with the Blue Jackets unless there is an injury to Boll or a fourth line forward.
