Umberger, 32, scored 18 goals with 16 assists (32 points) in 74 games with the Blue Jackets this season. The Pennsylvania native is heading home to play for a Flyers team that he played three season with from 2005-08. Umberger's fantasy value would spike if he replaces Hartnell on the Flyers top-line with Claude Giroux.

**The Philadelphia Flyers sent LW Scott Hartnell to the Columbus Blue Jackets for Center R.J. Umberger and a 4th rounder in 2015. Hartnell goes to a team that could use his leadership qualities while Umberger returns to where he started his NHL career.  The question about Umberger is how will he be used considering the Flyers are set down the middle?  This trade doesn't make any sense to me. **The Montreal Canadiens have re-signed D Andrei Markov to a 3-year deal. The main concern has always been staying healthy for the offensively talented rearguard.

Umberger missed two games in the first round, including game 6 in which the Blue Jackets were eliminated. Columbus showed some promise this season and Umberger will continue to be a part of their growth as he is signed through the 2016-17 season.

Umberger appeared to suffer a shoulder injury in game 5. The 31-year-old has one assist and a minus-2 rating in four games this series. He will be replaced by Jared Boll in Columbus tonight.

Umberger returns to the lineup for CBJ tonight.

Umberger missed the final four games of the regular season and game 1, but will return on Saturday for game 2. He will skate on the third line with Artem Anisimov and Blake Comeau.

Umberger missed the last four games of the regular season and will miss game 1. He is expected to return at some point during the first round, but is not ready for game 1.

Umberger has recently been serving as a healthy scratch, so this is not that big of a loss to the Blue Jackets playoff push. WIth Umberger out expect Matt Frattin and Corey Tropp to battle it out for playing time.

Umberger has had a tough go of it recently. He was a healthy scratch for two games last week and then saw his minutes drop in each of the last three games, to the point where he is back to a healthy scratch.
