Columbus Blue Jackets center Boone Jenner (shoulder) underwent surgery on Wednesday and will be out for 5-6 months. He injured his shoulder in practice last week. The team is hopeful of getting Jenner back before the end of the season, with general manager Don Waddell mentioning Columbus' outdoor game against Detroit on March 1 as a potential target date for Jenner. With Jenner sidelined, Sean Monahan is expected to take on first-line center duties in Thursday's season opener against the Minnesota Wild.
Boone Jenner To Open Season On Injured Reserve, Could Miss Significant Time
Columbus Blue Jackets left wing Boone Jenner (upper body) is expected to be placed on the injured reserve, according to Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers. Scheig further noted that Jenner could miss a significant amount of time. The 31-year-old reportedly suffered the injury during Friday's practice. As a result, fantasy managers should expect 23-year-old Yegor Chinakhov to replace Jenner on the top line. Jenner scored at least 20 goals for the third-straight campaign in 2023 with 35 points. Chinakhov began to emerge in Columbus last season as he scored a career-high 16 goals before suffering a season-ending injury. Chinakhov is worth adding in most formats as he should have a good opportunity to reach the 20-goal mark this season playing on the top line and top power-play unit.
Boone Jenner Suffers Upper-Body Injury During Friday's Practice
Columbus Blue Jackets forward Boone Jenner (upper body) suffered an injury during Friday's practice, according to Aaron Portzline of The Athletic. The Blue Jackets captain was hit hard along the boards and had to leave the ice. The 31-year-old should be considered day-to-day for the time being, as he has not been ruled out for the season opener on Thursday evening against the Minnesota Wild; however, he was kept off the starting lineup during Friday's preseason game out of precaution. Last season, Jenner hit the 20-goal mark for the third-straight campaign but saw his overall offensive output drop as he tallied only 35 points, his lowest in the past three years. Fantasy managers should expect Jenner to serve as the starting left wing on the top line alongside Sean Monahan and Krill Marchenko.
Columbus Blue Jackets center Boone Jenner practiced on Monday for the first time since he and his wife, Maggie, announced that their son, Dawson, was stillborn. Jenner has missed the past six games but is an option for Tuesday's regular-season finale against the Carolina Hurricanes. A 2024 All-Star, Jenner has had a solid season that includes 22 goals and 35 points to go along with 155 shots, 119 hits, 74 blocked shots, and 28 penalty minutes across 58 games. The Blue Jackets have an outside shot at landing the first-overall pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft as they sit fourth-last in the NHL with 64 points and will remain in that spot at the end of the 2023-24 regular season.
Columbus Blue Jackets center Boone Jenner is returning to the lineup for Friday's game against the visiting New Jersey Devils. The veteran pivot took a puck to the face in a game against the Blues on Dec. 8 and suffered a broken jaw as a result, missing the next five-plus weeks of action. The injury interrupted what had been a nice season for Jenner as he tallied 13 goals and 18 points along with 81 shots on goal across the first 29 games of the season. A three-time 20-goal scorer and one-time 30-goal man, the 30-year-old will likely see some goal-scoring regression upon his return considering his 16% shooting rate is well above his 10.7% career mark. Nonetheless, the Jackets will be glad to have their captain back for a divisional contest on Friday.
Columbus Blue Jackets forward Boone Jenner (jaw) is expected to return to the lineup Friday versus the Devils. He's missed 15 games with a fractured jaw. Jenner has been among Columbus' top goal-scorers this season with 13 markers in 29 games and boasts 18 points in total. He's set to center a line with Jack Roslovic on his right wing and Adam Fantilli on the left.
Columbus Blue Jackets forward Boone Jenner will be out for six weeks with a fractured jaw, the team announced on Saturday. Jenner sustained the injury in Friday's battle with the Blues when a puck hit him in the face. The 30-year-old has had a decent campaign on a struggling team, having posted a team-high 13 goals and boasting 18 points through 29 outings. Adam Fantilli, who's heated up lately with four goals and two assists in five December appearances, looks poised for a larger role with Jenner out.
Boone Jenner Exits Friday's Game After Taking Puck To Face
Columbus Blue Jackets forward Boone Jenner was limited to 12:16 of ice time against St. Louis on Friday, exiting the game early after getting struck in the face by a puck. Jenner has been Columbus' leading goal-scorer this season, having lit the lamp 13 times, and he's also been the team's top-scoring forward with 18 points in 29 outings. Highly-rated rookie Adam Fantilli could land a top-six job in Jenner's absence if he's forced to sit out some time. The Blue Jackets return to action on Sunday versus Florida.
Boone Jenner Tallies Two Assists In Win Over Bruins
Columbus Blue Jackets forward Boone Jenner helped to set up a pair of goals as the team registered a surprising 5-2 win over Boston on Monday. Jenner's first assist came on the power play early in the third period, and he picked up his second on an empty-net goal. It's been a horror show for the Blue Jackets this season, but Jenner has found a way to stay productive on a struggling team, and he's leading the team in goals (11) and points (16). Seven of Jenner's points have come in his last six outings.

Jenner opened the scoring with a goal from close range at the midway point of the opening period, while extending his goal streak to three consecutive games.

Columbus Blue Jackets center Boone Jenner (back) has been ruled out for the team's final two games of the 2022-23 regular-season campaign. He was a late scratch for Tuesday's contest against Philadelphia and will be kept out of action for the rest of the way with a back issue. Jenner managed 26 goals and 45 points in 68 games as Columbus' first-line center this season. He was replaced in the role by Sean Kuraly, who figures to remain on the line after impressing by scoring his 11th goal of the year.
Columbus Blue Jackets center Boone Jenner contributed one goal and one assist in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Coyotes, making it six points in five games for himself. The 29-year-old has heated up on the first line despite Johnny Gaudreau (lower body) landing on the shelf. Gaudreau's presence has helped Jenner to average 0.70 points per game this season. He's on 17 goals and 15 assists with 46 games played. Jenner is also a great physical presence and has racked up 90 hits for the season, so he's a good fantasy piece all around.
Columbus Blues Jackets center Boone Jenner (thumb) will return to the lineup for Saturday's contest against Detroit. He has sat out the last 11 games after undergoing thumb surgery last month. Jenner should head back to the first line and continue to build chemistry with Johnny Gaudreau and Patrik Laine. He's had a decent campaign with 11 goals and 22 points in 30 games, but there should be much more to come from the trio. Jack Roslovic skated on the top line in the last game and his fantasy value will take a hit with the return of Jenner.
Columbus Blue Jackets center Boone Jenner is set to undergo surgery to repair a fractured thumb and he will need around four weeks of recovery time. With the team having already suffered a number of injuries up front, Jenner has played a massive role as the first-line center this season, but he sadly now also finds himself on the shelf. The 29-year-old has collected 11 goals and 11 assists in 29 outings. With Cole Sillinger (undisclosed) also ruled out for Monday's matchup against Dallas, Columbus' center depth is getting properly tested. Kent Johnson will be between Johnny Gaudreau and Patrik Laine on Monday, with the 20-year-old getting a huge opportunity to impress.
Columbus Blue Jackets center Boone Jenner was the set-up man on both of the team's goals in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Detroit. He helped Marcus Bjork to score in a power-play situation and tallied an even-strength assist on Kent Johnson's sixth goal of the season. Jenner led all forwards with 22:27 of ice time and completed his line with four shots and a plus-one rating. The 29-year-old has now registered three multi-point efforts in his past nine games, and he's having a good season overall, boasting nine goals and nine assists in 23 appearances. Jenner finds himself in a dream situation, as he centers the first line that has elite wingers Johnny Gaudreau and Patrik Laine on it. The trio will try to figure out how to damage to Penguins next.
Columbus Blue Jackets forward Boone Jenner (lower-body) is week-to-week with a lower-back injury. Jenner was placed on the injured reserve on Saturday, as he last appeared in Friday's contest against the Wild. The Blue Jackets captain has provided fantasy managers with quality production throughout the season, with a team-best 23 goals and 44 points through 59 games. Managers can continue to roster the 28-year-old in leagues with injured reserve spots as he will come back prior to the end of the fantasy hockey season.
Columbus Blue Jackets forward Boone Jenner put together a two-point performance in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over Nashville, notching the team's first goal of the game and helping Patrik Laine on the scoreboard. He was plus-two for the night and finished with four shots, one block and one hit in 22:20 of action. Jenner leads the Blue Jackets in goals this season with 12 markers, and he's grabbed 20 points overall in 29 games. He's paired with Laine and Jakub Voracek on the top line, which should help Jenner to carry his form over into 2022.
Boone Jenner's Goal Comes In Losing Effort Thursday
The Columbus Blue Jackets center played almost 22 minutes on Thursday night against the Dallas Stars. Though Boone Jenner only mustered two shots on goal, he looked far more active shift by shift. The result was his 11th goal of the season. That came 6:53 into the first period which tied the game at 1. Jenner created his own takeaway, shielded the puck and beat an outstretched Jake Oettinger. The forward now has 15 points on the season and remains on track to breaking the 50 point plateau for the first time in his career.
Boone Jenner Returns To Goal Scoring Column Saturday
Columbus Blue Jackets center Boone Jenner had not scored in four games before lighting the lamp on Saturday night against St. Louis. Worse, Jenner had just five shots on goal in that span including zero in his last game. The forward fired three shots on Saturday including the power-play goal midway into the first period. For Jenner, this gives him ten goals in just 19 games. He once had a 30-goal season and Jenner is already a third of the way there. Jenner is also well on his way to breaking the 50-point plateau for the first time in his career too.
Columbus Blue Jackets placed centerman Boone Jenner on the IR, and he is expected to miss six weeks. He was injured on Tuesday after breaking his finger. Before the injury, the veteran forward posted eight goals and nine helpers in 41 contests. He plays about 14:00 minutes a game for Columbus, and he has recorded 79 shots on goal. Jenner's leadership will be missed as the Blue Jackets are trying to get back in the playoff race.
