Alexandre Giroux was signed by CLM on Friday January 18.

Alexandre Giroux has inked a two-year deal with Dynamo Riga of the KHL. He appeared in 65 games with Columbus' AHL affiliate in Springfield this past season, in which he picked up 28 goals and 54 points, and in nine contests with the Blue Jackets. Giroux led the AHL in scoring during the 2009-2010 campaign, as a member of the Hershey Bears, with 103 points in 69 contests. Giroux has enjoyed plenty of success at the minor-league level, but he hasn't been able to stick around and produce in the NHL. He has 12 points in 48 career appearances with four different teams.

Alexandre Giroux was called up from the minors on Saturday January 28.

Alexandre Giroux was called up from the minors on Tuesday December 6.

Alexandre Giroux has been sent down to AHL Springfield. Giroux was a healthy scratch on Saturday, which made him the Blue Jackets' best player in their 9-2 loss to Philadelphia. He has a goal and eight penalty minutes in nine games this season.

Alexandre Giroux will start on the second line Saturday, alongside Antoine Vermette and R.J. Umberger. The Blue Jackets are placing the 30-year-old winger on a scoring line and giving him every opportunity to succeed at the NHL level as he replaces Cam Atkinson who was sent to the minors. "The area we looked at with Alex is that he's a big body, a veteran guy, He knows how to play on the walls," coach Scott Arniel said. "He knows how to play the system.With Cam, we're still teaching some of those things, and he's going to get good at it. Having that size on the wing is going to probably help us. It's going to help us around the net. Alex doesn't need many chances to score goals. He's proven that." Giroux will look to get Umberger and Vermette going as neither player has a point this season. Giroux is worth looking at in deep leagues as there may no be too many top-six forwards available on the waiver wire.

The Columbus Blue Jackets have recalled Alexandre Giroux from the minors. Giroux will take the spot of Cam Atkinson in the Columbus lineup. Giroux had a very good training camp but was sent down to the minors as one of the last cuts. He is expected to be in the lineup Saturday. He has little fantasy value at this time despite being a big scorer in the AHL as he is already 30 and has never done much in the NHL.

Alexandre Giroux has been assigned to the minors. This probably means that Derek MacKenzie will be ready to return from a sprained knee in Friday's opener against Nashville.

Alexandre Giroux might start the season with the Columbus Blue Jackets despite clearing waivers. The Blue Jackets are waiting to see if Derek MacKenzie (sprained knee) will be available for the season opener. Teams have to submit their rosters by 3pm ET on Wednesday, so we'll know Giroux's fate soon enough. Giroux is a star in the AHL, but he'd likely serve as a fourth liner if he stays with Columbus.

Alexandre Giroux cleared waivers today but remains with the team for the time being. The high scoring AHL forward has struggled mightily with his consistency at the NHL level but remains with the team for the time being.
