Blue Jackets' Nick Blankenburg: Ascends to top level

Blankenburg was recalled from AHL Cleveland on Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Blankenburg had an assist in his lone game with the Monsters after being sent down to the minors last Sunday. He has 11 hits and 12 blocked shots in six games at the NHL level this season. In a corresponding move, Columbus placed Adam Boqvist (upper body) on injured reserve.
