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.

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 Tallies Two Assists In Win Over Bruins

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.

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.

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.
