Blue Jackets' Damon Severson: Logs helper Saturday

Severson notched an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kings.

Severson has earned three helpers and a plus-6 rating over his last nine games. He was scratched a couple of times earlier in January, but it appears he's no longer at a high risk of that happening, especially if the Blue Jackets continue to dress seven defensemen. Severson has 20 points, 73 shots on net, 79 blocked shots, 33 hits and a plus-5 rating across 47 appearances this season, though he's been in a bottom-four role lately.
