Adam Boqvist Not Expected To Play Thursday
2 years agoColumbus Blue Jackets defenseman Adam Boqvist is dealing with an illness and isn't expected to play Thursday versus Boston. He skipped the morning skate and Marcus Bjork has been called up from the minors to fill in for Boqvist. The Swedish rearguard has started to play a massive role for the Blue Jackets, logging 25-plus minutes of action multiple times in recent games, and he's been the team's biggest offensive threat all season long from the blue line, registering five goals and 22 points in 40 games. Bjork is expected to join the third defensive pairing but will also replace Boqvist on the top power-play unit, which gives him some fantasy appeal.
