Lomberg was held scoreless for a 15th straight game in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Panthers.
Lomberg wasn't signed for his offense, but he's started the year incredibly slowly in that area on the Blue Jackets' fourth line. He was a healthy scratch Friday versus the Sabres and could find himself in the press box more often if things don't change. Lomberg has racked up 27 hits, 19 shots on net and a minus-2 rating so far this season, with the physical play being a fairly consistent part of his play.
