Blue Jackets' Alexander Nylander: Ready to go Saturday

Nylander (upper body) will return to the lineup Saturday against the Penguins, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

After missing Columbus' last two outings, Nylander will return to action Saturday against his former team. The 26-year-old winger had gone scoreless in four games prior to the injury, though he's tallied eight goals and 11 points in 15 appearances with Columbus since being acquired from the Penguins at the trade deadline. Nylander will likely return to a top-line role in Saturday's contest.
