Blue Jackets Activate Jenner, Marchenko from Injured Reserve

The Columbus Blue Jackets have activated forwards Boone Jenner and Kirill Marchenko from injured reserve. Jenner, who had been sidelined for 56 games due to a shoulder injury requiring surgery, is set to make his season debut. Marchenko, recovering from a broken jaw, missed the last three games but is now back in the lineup. However, the Blue Jackets face setbacks as forwards Kevin Labanc and Owen Sillinger are out for the rest of the season due to shoulder surgery and a knee injury, respectively. Columbus is still in playoff contention, just one point away from the final spot in the Eastern Conference with 26 games remaining. The team is gearing up to face the Chicago Blackhawks, with Jenner expected to play in the Stadium Series outdoor game against Detroit on March 1.
