Peeke was drafted in the second round, 34th overall, by Columbus in 2016. The 23-year-old from Boca Raton, Fla., has played in 33 games over the past two seasons with the Blue Jackets registering one goal and five assists.
"Andrew is a smart, mobile defenceman, who has the ability to join the rush and make plays in all three zones," general manager Jarmo Kekalainen said in a media release.
"He is still a young player, but we are excited to see his continued growth within our organization as he continues to work and earn more playing time."
