The Columbus Blue Jackets have loaned promising forward Nikita Filatov (FIHL’-uh-tawf) to CSKA (CHESH’-kuh) of the Kontinental Hockey League for the remainder of the 2009-10 season.

General manager Scott Howson announced the move Tuesday. He said it was made so Filatov could develop his game in his hometown of Moscow.

Filatov has been unhappy with his spare minutes since making the club to start the season. He appeared in 13 games with the Blue Jackets this season, scoring two goals.
