Stefan Matteau: Released from PTO

Matteau was released from his PTO by the Blue Jackets on Friday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

The 29-year-old winger last played in the NHL for one game with Colorado to open the 2021-22 season, and he spent two seasons in the Columbus system before that, but Matteau's attempt to win a roster spot in camp fell short. He could still sign a minor-league deal and remain with the organization at AHL Cleveland.
