Marcus Bjork Joins Blue Jackets Lineup Tuesday
Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Marcus Bjork will replace Jake Christiansen in the lineup Tuesday against Washington. Christiansen was assigned back to the minors on Monday and Bjork was brought up to get him his first NHL game since Jan. 10. The 25-year-old rookie has featured 26 times during his debut campaign, recording three goals and 11 assists with 29 shots on goal, 35 hits and 42 blocks. Bjork has proven himself as a good all-around blue-liner and is set to skate on the first power-play unit Tuesday, with Adam Boqvist (upper body) and Nick Blankenburg (upper body) still sidelined.
