The Columbus Blue Jackets forward Kent Johnson has missed the last 10 games due to a shoulder injury suffered when he collided with a teammate.
The Columbus Blue Jackets may be getting Kent Johnson back soon.
Kent Johnson was at Jackets practice this morning and skating. The better news is that he's also wearing a regular practice jersey and not a non-contact jersey, signaling that his return could be imminent.
Johnson had played in just four games this season before getting hurt. In those four games though, he scored 2 goals and had 5 points. He's on about a 39-point pace for the remainder of the season.
His return means something would need to happen with the roster, as they are already at 23 players. Might they possibly send David Jiříček or Jordan Harris to the AHL?
What's Next - The Blue Jackets return home on Friday night to play the Pittsburgh Penguins.
