Columbus Blue Jackets News

Jenner is expected to miss six weeks after breaking his finger on Tuesday. With Jenner out on Thursday, Eric Robinson is expected to get a look in the Blue Jackets' top-6.

Fabbro was forced to leave Tuesday's game after playing just 4:00 TOI and did not return. With Fabbro out, the Predators will likely have to turn to their taxi squad for a No.6 defenseman.

Jaros, who has a fifth-round pick of the Senators back in 2015, was traded to the Sharks in January. He's appeared in 11 games with the San Jose's AHL affiliate, collecting three assists and is expected to replace Marc-Edouard Vlasic (upper-body) in the lineup on Tuesday.

Fabbro was suspended for two games for elbowing Brock McGinn o the Hurricanes but is set to return to the lineup on Monday. Fabbro, who has two goals and seven assists (nine points) in 26 games this season, will most likely skate in the top-4 with Ben Harpur.

This is another huge blow to the Predators' blueline, who will now be without three of their top-4 defensemen on Thursday. Fabbro will miss Thursday and Saturday's games before being eligible to return Monday in Tampa Bay.

Merzlikins has been out since February 20th with an upper-body injury but was activated from IR on Monday, so he'll at least be available to backup on Tuesday.

Werenski has not played since February 13th but will replace Scott Harrington in the lineup on Thursday. Werenski had a slow start to the season but had four assists in his last six games before getting injured.

Monahan has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury but was back on a line with Johnny Gaudreau at the Flames morning skate, suggesting he could play in Toronto. Monahan has had a nice bounce-back season, scoring two goals with 10 assists (12 points) in 16 games.
