COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) The Columbus Blue Jackets have re-signed restricted free agent defenseman Scott Harrington to a three-year contract.

A person with knowledge of the signing tells The Associated Press the contract is worth $4.9 million with an annual salary cap hit of $1.63 million. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Friday because the team didn't announce the terms of the deal.

The 26-year-old blue-liner set career highs in games played, assists and points in 2018-19, when he tallied two goals and 15 assists in 73 games with the Blue Jackets. He had four assists in 10 games in the playoffs.
