Blue Jackets' Jack Johnson: Expected to play Thursday
Jack Johnson (eye) is expected to be available for Thursday's game against the Devils, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.Johnson took a stick to the face Sunday against the Hurricanes and sat out Tuesday against the Lightning, but he should be able to return following a one-game absence. Over 18 appearances this year, he's logged an assist, 12 blocked shots, nine hits and a minus-4 rating while averaging 13:32 of ice time. Dante Fabbro (lower body) is questionable for Thursday's matchup, but Jordan Harris will likely be pushed out of the lineup if Fabbro is also able to suit up against the Devils.

Blue Jackets' Jack Johnson: Losing playing time
Jack Johnson sat out for the fifth time in six games in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.While trade rumors swirl around prospect defenseman David Jiricek, who is in AHL Cleveland, Johnson hasn't been able to claim a regular role with the NHL club. Jake Christiansen and Jordan Harris have held down the third pairing since Dante Fabbro was plucked off waivers from Nashville. Johnson has one assist, eight shots on net, nine hits, 10 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 15 appearances this season. The 37-year-old doesn't need to be tracked in fantasy, as he's unlikely to produce enough offense to help.
