Boone Jenner Injury: Closer to return

Jenner (upper body) practiced Sunday and is "close" to a return, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports Sunday.

The team wants Jenner to get a few more skates in before inserting him back into the lineup. The 32-year-old has missed the last nine games with an upper-body injury. He was off to a good start before departing the lineup, registering three goals and seven assists in 16 games.
