In another trade deadline deal, the Columbus Blue Jackets are sending defenseman James Wisniewski out west.
Wisniewski is headed to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for left wing Rene Bourque, center William Karlsson and a second round pick in 2015, the team announced Monday.
Borque is a 33-year-old veteran in his 10th NHL season.

The 2014-15 season marked Wisniewski's fourth for Columbus.
