"The Blue Jackets recalled center Andrew Joudrey and defenseman David Savard from minor-league Springfield this morning.

Joudrey, 27, could make his NHL debut later this week during the Blue Jackets' three-game road swing through California. The Blue Jackets will play Tuesday at San Jose, Saturday at Los Angeles and Sunday at Anaheim.

Joudrey (5-11, 183 pounds) was an eighth-round pick of the Washington Capitals in 2003 and played four seasons of college hockey at Wisconsin. He began his pro career in 2007 and played four seasons for AHL Hershey before signing a two-year deal with the Blue Jackets in July.

Joudrey has seven goals, eight assists and a plus-2 rating in 42 games for Springfield this season and has 49-69-118 and a plus-47 rating in 321 AHL games. He won two AHL Calder Cup titles with Hershey.

Savard has split the season between Columbus (15 games) and Springfield (28 games)."
