Samuel Pahlsson returned to the Columbus lineup on Thursday after missing Tuesday's game with an illness. Pahlsson played 13:50 minutes in his return. The Blue Jackets were forced to use Aaron Johnson at forward on Tuesday to replace Pahlsson but he was a healthy scratch Thursday. Pahlsson has no fantasy value at this time with seven points in 30 games, but he does take a lot of faceoffs with a 48 percent success rating in 396 opportunities.
