Jenner has been out since December 18th, but he took part in the Blue Jackets practice this morning, including line rushes, which is a great sign he is nearing a return. He will travel with the team to Western Canada and should return to the lineup at some point during the trip.
Jenner has been sidelined since December 18th. He resumed skating in late-February, but had not made any significant progress. Skating today is a good sign that he may return to practice soon—but until then, his return is not imminent.
Severson has been out with a fractured ankle since December 15th. Tonight he will return to the lineup vs. Nashville and the Devils will go with seven blue liners. He is expected to be paired with Jon Merrill.
Severson, 20, has been out since December 15th but is really close to a return. He said he wanted to play tomorrow, but he will be held out, so a Friday return seems like a real possibility. He has 12 points (4G / 8A) in 32 games this season.
Jenner has been out with a fracture in his back, but returned to the ice today. He still remains over a week away from returning to practice, but today was a positive step in his recovery.
Severson has been out since December 15th because of a hairline fracture in his ankle. He was only supposed to miss 4-5 weeks, but he is already six and a half weeks removed from the injury. It sounds like it will end up being about eight or nine weeks from the date of injury.
Gudbranson, who was back at practice earlier this week, will miss his third straight game with an upper-body injury. With Gudbranson out, Shane O’Brien will remain in the lineup.
Gudbranson will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury. He was listed as doubtful so this should come as no surprise. He is day-to-day.
Gudbranson missed Panthers practice on Saturday and will likely miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury. Monitor his status during the morning skate, but don’t get your hopes up.
Gudbranson was not in the lineup on Friday against the Sabres because of an upper-body injury. Shane O’Brien was recalled and replaced Gudbranson on the Panthers blue line. Monitor his status leading up to Sunday’s game vs. the Capitals.
The injury woes continue in Columbus. Jenner, who missed the start of the season with a broken had, has scored six goals with six assists (12 points) in 20 games before getting injured. He has been placed on IR and will be out until at least late-January. The Blue Jackets recalled Sean Collins from Springfield (AHL).
Severson was injured while blocking a shot on December 6th vs. Washington. He played five games on it before it swelled up on Wednesday. His fractured ankle will not require surgery, but you won’t see him back in the lineup until mid-to-late January. Expect Eric Gelinas to return as a full-timer on the blue line.
Johnson will miss this Friday and Saturday’s games as well as next Tuesday in Washington. He is eligible to return next Friday in Philadelphia. The Blue Jackets are already depleted with injuries, so a suspension was the last thing they needed.
Gaudreau missed the morning skate and was listed as a game-time decision. Taking warmups is a good sign that Gaudreau will be in the lineup. If he plays, Brian McGrattan will be a healthy scratch and Lance Bouma will move to the fourth line.
Gaudreau has been on fire lately, posting two goals and six assists in seven games since being a healthy scratch on October 17th. Expect Brian McGrattan to slide into the lineup if Gaudreau can't go.
Jenner has not played yet this season because of a broken hand that he suffered in the preseason. He was expected to open the season on the Blue Jacket top line with Ryan Johansen, but he will make his season debut on the third line with Alexander Wennberg and Matt Calvert, who also returns to the lineup tonight.
Jenner has not played this season because of a broken hand he suffered in the preseason, but he has been progressing and skating on a regular line this morning suggests he could make his season debut on Tuesday vs. Carolina. Jenner had 16 goals and 13 assists (29 points) in 72 games in his rookie season and will likely find himself on Ryan Johansen's wing again, even if he does not start there in his debut.
Jenner skated with a glove on his injured hand and handled pucks for the third straight practice. There’s still no defined date for Jenner’s return, but he knows he is getting closer. “It’s hard to put a number on that day, that’s the thing," Jenner said. "You just try to see when you’re ready to go. And if today’s the day then you take it from there. He remains day-to-day, but this is finally some positive news on the Blue Jackets' injury front.
Jenner has been sidelined since the preseason after undergoing surgery to repair a broken hand. Jenner is nearly four weeks into a five-week timetable, so his return to the ice appears to be right on schedule. Expect him to skate with the Blue Jackets throughout the week and likely return this weekend or next week.
Gaudreau served as a healthy scratch in the Flames loss to the Blue Jackets on Friday. 'Johnny Hockey' has yet to record a point in five games this season. Josh Jooris will come out of the lineup to make room for Gaudreau.
