The Columbus Blue Jackets have claimed former Chilliwack Chief, Trail Smoke Eater & Vernon Vipers goaltender Wade Dubielewicz off waivers from the New York Islanders and assigned goaltender Dan LaCosta to the Syracuse Crunch, the club's American Hockey League affiliate, club General Manager Scott Howson announced January 17.
Dubielewicz, 29, has appeared in 37 career NHL games with the Islanders, compiling a 16-13-2 record, 2.55 goals-against average and .920 save percentage from 2003-08. In 2007-08, he went 9-9-1 with a 2.70 goals-against average and .919 save percentage in a career-high 20 games with the club.

He went 80-64-13 with a 2.53 goals-against average and 15 shutouts in 162 career AHL games, including 20-8-5 with a 1.38 goals-against average and nine shutouts in 33 games in 2003-04.
