Carlsson, 21, has picked up seven points (1G / 6A) in 18 games with Cleveland this season. The 2015 first-round pick (No.29 overall) has just three assists in 17 career NHL games.
Carlsson is expected to see some time as the Blue Jackets No.6 defenseman at some point this season. Carlsson has picked up one goal and five assists (six points) in 12 games with Cleveland this season.
Carlsson missed Saturday’s game in Minnesota with an undisclosed injury and was moved to IR on Monday morning. His movement to IR opens up a roster spot for the Blue Jackets to recall Markus Nutivaara ahead of Tuesday’s game in Winnipeg.
