Blue Jackets sign Hartigan, Trattnig

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – The Columbus Blue Jackets re-signed center Mark Hartigan and signed forward Mattias Trattnig on Wednesday.

Trattnig became the second Austrian to sign with the Blue Jackets in as many days. Defenseman Andre Lakos joined the team Tuesday.

Hartigan, signed as a free agent a year ago, had a goal and three assists in nine games with the Blue Jackets last season. In 69 games with Syracuse of the AHL, he had 23 goals and 23 assists.

Trattnig, a fourth-round selection by Chicago in the 1998 entry draft, has represented Austria in four World Championships.
