Ready to play Saturday Per Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch, coach Pascal Vincent said Friday that Boqvist (shoulder) is 'good to go."

Impact Look for Boqvist to return to the lineup Saturday versus Minnesota. The defenseman has been out of action for a month, as he last played versus LA on Dec. 5. Boqvist has three assists in 13 games this season. Look for Jake Christiansen to get sent back to the AHL, once Boqvist is activated from injured reserve.

Practicing Wednesday Boqvist (shoulder) practiced with the team for the first time Wednesday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Impact Boqvist had been skating independently but seems to have taken the next step in his recovery. Barring any setbacks, the 23-year-old blueliner could return to the lineup against either Philadelphia or Minnesota on Thursday or Saturday, respectively. Whenever he does return, it will likely mean Jake Christiansen gets sent back to the minors.

Out four weeks with shoulder strain Boqvist is expected to miss four weeks with a shoulder strain and was consequently put on injured reserve Wednesday.

Produces first points of season Boqvist recorded two assists while adding one shot on net, two blocked shots and a plus-4 rating in Wednesday's 7-3 win over Chicago.

Impact The 23-year-old blueliner has only been in the lineup for six of Columbus' first 20 games to begin the season and hadn't produced a point while bouncing in and out of the press box, but Boqvist played like he had something to prove Wednesday against his former club. His second helper highlighted his offensive upside, as he found a wide-open Kirill Marchenko at the side of the Chicago net with a cross-ice laser for the Jackets' sixth goal of the night. Boqvist's draft pedigree -- he was the eighth overall pick in the 2018 NHL Draft before being sent to Columbus in the Seth Jones deal -- will keep earning him chances, but he'll need to show a lot more consistency to be a fantasy asset.

Little impact in season debut Boqvist failed to record a point while adding one shot and a plus-1 rating in Saturday's win over the Rangers.

Impact A healthy scratch for the Blue Jackets' season opener, Boqvist drew into the lineup after Zach Werenski (quadriceps) got hurt and Andrew Peeke struggled. Boqvist did little with his opportunity though, and it was Damon Severson who took Werenski's spot on the top power-play unit. By contrast, 19-year-old David Jiricek also made his season debut Saturday and make an immediate impact by firing home the game-winning goal. Boqvist will need to show more if he wants to avoid yo-yoing between the lineup and the press box.

Not at practice Thursday Boqvist (undisclosed) missed practice Thursday and is a question mark to play in Boston, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

Powers up with apple Boqvist dialed up a power-play assist in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Islanders.

Two-point effort Friday Boqvist scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken.

Impact The 22-year-old is the most offensively gifted player currently healthy on the Columbus blue line, and Boqvist is having a nice run with three goals and eight points over the last eight games, including four helpers on the power play. With the Blue Jackets having nothing to play for but the best chance at landing Connor Bedard in the draft, they can afford to live with Boqvist's occasional defensive lapses and give him all the ice time he can handle to aid his development.
