Jenner scored two goals on six shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 5-4 shootout win over the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Jenner recorded the Blue Jackets' first two goals of the contest. He looked to have a hat trick in the third period, but that goal was later switched to Zach Werenski on the initial shot. Jenner still put in an excellent game and now has nine tallies, two assists, 46 shots on net and a minus-4 rating through 14 contests.

Jenner scored a goal on five shots and blocked two shots in Monday's 5-3 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Jenner was able to capitalize on a loose puck in front of Red Wings goalie Thomas Greiss. The 28-year-old Jenner continues to be effective on offense, as he's picked up points in five of the last six contests. He's up to seven goals, two helpers, 40 shots and a minus-4 rating in 13 appearances. Considering he had 17 points in 41 outings last year, he's off to a much stronger start in 2021-22.

Jenner scored a goal on five shots and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Jenner put the Blue Jackets ahead 4-2 with a third-period tally, although that lead didn't hold up. The 28-year-old has tallied six times in nine games after posting eight goals in 41 outings last year. His current scoring rate is an unsustainable 26.1 percent, although he is playing a more significant role in the top six and on the power play. He should maintain at least depth value in standard fantasy formats throughout the year, but there will likely be a drop-off from how he's playing now.

Jenner tallied a goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-3 shootout win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

With Columbus trailing 3-2 in the late stages of the third period, Jenner gloved down a New Jersey clearing attempt and went top shelf on netminder Scott Wedgewood to tie the game with 5:25 remaining. Jenner already has five goals through eight games after tallying only eight times in 41 contests last season. It's obviously early, but Jenner could be in line to challenge the career-high 30 goals he scored back in 2015-16.

Jenner scored a power-play goal on his only shot of the night in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Jenner got the Blue Jackets on the board with two minutes left in the second period, getting a stick on Jakub Voracek's shot attempt to make it a 1-1 game. It was Jenner's second straight game with a power-play goal, and his third tally of the year overall. Jenner has been a workhorse over the past two games for Columbus, logging just under 47 total minutes of ice time.

Jenner scored a power-play goal and tied for the team lead with four shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Detroit. He also had two hits and went 18-10 (64.6 percent) on faceoffs.

EDGE Analysis

Jenner had all day on the doorstep to slip a backhander past Detroit netminder Thomas Greiss, pulling the Blue Jackets to within 2-1 with 7:09 left in the third period. It was the second goal of the year for Jenner, who was a workhorse in the faceoff circle, taking 17 more draws than any other center on either squad. Jenner is typically good for double-digit goals and 30-plus points in a full season, and he was right in line with that pace in 2020-21, amassing eight goals and 17 points in 41 contests.

Jenner skated at center on a line with Patrik Laine and Jakub Voracek during Monday's preseason win over the Sabres, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports. "I like them," Blue Jackets coach Brad Larsen said after the game. "I liked their line tonight. They brought energy."

EDGE Analysis

The trio was impressive together, piling up three goals -- one by each of them -- and six points in the victory, including power-play tallies by Jenner and Voracek. It was only the preseason, and it was only the Sabres, but the fact that Jenner is getting a look alongside players with the offensive talent of Laine and Voracek puts him on the fantasy radar, at least in deeper formats. Jenner was stuck in a versatile grinder role under former coach John Tortorella and hasn't topped 18 goals or 38 points in a season since 2015-16, but perhaps Larsen can get something more out of the 28-year-old.

Jenner (finger) practiced with the Blue Jackets on Thursday, Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jenner ended last season on injured reserve with a broken finger. He posted 17 points, 76 hits and 79 shots on goal in 41 games. The 28-year-old is more of a physical presence than a scoring threat, although he's usually good for 30 points in a full season, which gives him some appeal in deeper fantasy formats. He should work in a middle-six role.

Jenner (finger) snagged a four-year, $15 million contract extension from Columbus on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Jenner's cap hit won't change as he signed an identical four-year $15 million contract to the one he penned back in July of 2018. With one year remaining on his current deal, the 28-year-old is now under contract for the next five seasons. The limited number of games (41) last year saw the Ontario native fail to reach the 20-point threshold for the first time since 2014-15. Still, Jenner should be capable of getting back above that mark during the upcoming campaign.

Jenner (finger) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Jenner is expected to miss around six weeks with a fractured finger, so this move doesn't come as a surprise. The 27-year-old forward will miss the rest of the regular season at a minimum, and the Blue Jackets would likely need to advance past the first round of the playoffs in order for Jenner to have a chance to return in 2020-21. He picked up eight goals and 17 points through 41 games before fracturing his finger.
