COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The Columbus Blue Jackets have activated
forward Marian Gaborik off injured reserve after he missed the past 22
games, along with the Sochi Olympics, because of a broken collarbone.

The Blue Jackets play Thursday night at New Jersey in their first game after the NHL's Olympic hiatus.

A native of Trencin, Slovakia, Gaborik
has represented his country at the 2006 and 2010 Olympics but was unable
to play in Sochi because of his injury.
