Columbus, OH - The Columbus Blue Jackets announced a pair of roster moves on Tuesday, placing forward Brandon Dubinsky on injured reserve and claiming forward Adam Cracknell off waivers from the Los Angeles Kings.

Dubinsky, who was signed to a lucrative six-year contract extension shortly after the opening on July's free-agent signing period, will be out indefinitely with a lower-body injury.

The 28-year-old native of Alaska notched 16 goals and a career-high 34 assists for 50 points in 76 games last season, his second with Columbus. The Blue Jackets acquired him in July 2012 from the Rangers as part of the deal that sent Rick Nash to New York.

Cracknell totaled just two assists in 19 regular-season appearances for the Blues last season. He signed a one-year deal with the Kings in July, but failed to make the roster in training camp and was placed on waivers Monday.

A former ninth-round pick of the Flames in 2004, Cracknell has totaled six goals and 10 assists in 65 career contests.
