Last week, the Columbus Blue Jackets entered another name onto the injury report. Cole Sillinger's apparent hand injury caused him to miss a few games. According to reports, Sillinger should be able to play at some point on the four-game road trip the Jackets are about to embark on.

Setback' with wrist injury pushes Monahan's likely return for Blue Jackets into March and extends Fantilli's role replacing him on the top line.

Doctors have projected a longer recovery timeline than expected for the 30-year-old, who injured his right wrist on Jan. 7.

The Columbus Blue Jackets are among the best stories in the National Hockey League. After the tragic passing of winger Johnny Gaudreau, they have surprised everyone with a torrid first half. Their 55 points through 50 games are enough to be in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
