Johansen will be in the lineup Saturday versus the Flyers, according to Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella, who had made him a healthy scratch for Thursday's contest in Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Johansen's muddy relationship with Tortorella is well documented, but that's no solace for the countless fantasy owners and Columbus fans counting on the big center who notched 71 points last season. The term "healthy scratch" is an ugly one, especially when applied to a renowned star like Johansen, whose name is being included in various trade rumors. Of course, it's possible that Torts simply was trying to send Johansen the proverbial message. The Blue Jackets cannot afford to be too cute when dealing with the impact players since the team is sitting in the cellar with a 12-19-3 record in a Metropolitan Division that only has one other losing team in the Hurricanes (12-15-5).
