Sonny Milano News

Milano was recalled from the AHL on Tuesday and will draw into the Ducks lineup on Thursday. Milano is expected to replace Max Comtois on a line with Ryan Getzlaf.

Milano was banged up in Wednesday's game vs. the Wild and was moved to IR to open up a roster spot on Friday. Max Jones was recalled to take his place on the roster and likely in the lineup.

The Blue Jackets made Milano the 16th overall pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. The 23-year-old forward struggled to maintain a spot in the lineup under head coach John Tortorella. He scored five goals and added 13 assists in 46 games for Columbus this season. Milano is set to become a restricted free-agent on July 1st.

With the fourth line playing well according to head coach John Tortorella, Milano will be the one to come out of the lineup with Cam Atkinson returning to the lineup on Thursday.

Columbus finally gets some good news on the injury front, with Milano returning from an eight-game absence. Milano, who has 11 points (3G / 8A) in 30 games this season, will replace Alexandre Texier (back) in the lineup in Boston.

It looks like Milano was able to escape a scary hit with a minor injury. His "day-to-day" tag suggests that he will miss tonight's game in Detroit and makes him questionable for Thursday's game vs. the Kings and Saturday's game vs. the Devils.

Milano was hurt early in Saturday's game in Ottawa. He stumbled along the side-boards and it resulted in him taking an ugly hit from Mark Borowiecki. The Blue Jackets' medical staff had to help Milano off of the ice and it looks as if he could miss some time. Marko Dano was called up on Sunday and will replace Dano in the lineup on Monday.

Milano had just one goal in eight games with Columbus last season. He spent most of the year in Cleveland (AHL), where he had 24 points (11G / 13A) in 27 games. He will replace Josh Anderson, who is day-to-day with an injury.

Milano has just one goal while averaging just 8:19 TOI/GM in eight games this season. Milano will be replaced by Markus Hannikainen on the Blue Jackets fourth line.

Milano has been sidelined for almost four weeks with a torn oblique muscle. Travelling with the team bodes well for his chances of playing in one of the next two games, but for now he remains without a timetable for his return.

Milano suffered an injury in Toronto on January 8th and has missed the last two games as a result. After undergoing tests, it was revealed that Milano is dealign with a torn oblique muscle and will be sidelined until at least mid-February.
