Jenner notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Jenner set up the second of Kirill Marchenko's tallies in the contest. After scoring in the three previous contests, Jenner is on a four-game point streak. He's added 15 shots on net and eight hits in that span. The 29-year-old forward is up to 26 points (seven on the power play), 116 shots on net, 67 hits, 43 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating through 38 outings this season.

Jenner scored a goal, logged three hits and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Jenner has scored in three straight contests. The 29-year-old is up to 14 tallies, 25 points, 114 shots on net, 66 hits, 43 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating through 37 appearances this season. As long as he remains in a top-six role, he should have some appeal as an all-around producer in fantasy.

Jenner scored a goal on seven shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Jenner's third-period tally was what got the game to overtime. He's scored in back-to-back contests after coming up empty in his first four games back from a broken thumb. The 29-year-old center has 13 tallies, 11 assists, 113 shots on net, 63 hits, 40 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating through 36 appearances. He remains in the mix for the top-line job, though Jack Roslovic started Monday's game in that position while Jenner was on the second line.

Jenner scored a goal on five shots and added three hits, a plus-2 rating and eight faceoff wins on 11 draws in Saturday's win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
It was Jenner's first point in five games since returning from surgery to repair a fractured thumb. His work at the faceoff dot in particular is a strong sign he's feeling 100 percent, and he showed some chemistry in the second half of the game on a line with Gustav Nyquist and rookie Kent Johnson, each of whom picked up an assist on Jenner's goal. It's a step down from centering Johnny Gaudreau and Patrik Laine at even strength, but Jenner's spot on the top power-play unit should give him a decent floor for fantasy value.

Jenner's ice time has increased as the Blue Jackets struggle to find reliable alternatives at center, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old has topped 20 minutes in seven of Columbus' last nine games, and his average TOI on the season has crept above 20:00 as a result. Jenner averaged a career-high 20:27 last season before suffering a back injury that ended his campaign in early March, so the Jackets are understandably keeping an eye on his workload. "It's hard, and I've really pulled him back on the penalty kill," coach Brad Larsen said Friday. "But then faceoffs come into it. If Kurls (Sean Kuraly) has just had a shift and I need a faceoff guy, maybe (Jenner) gets stuck out there. There are these moments that happen and I go, 'I gotta use him. I gotta use him. I gotta use him.' You're trying to win hockey games." Early-season slumps from Jack Roslovic and Cole Sillinger have exacerbated the issue, but Roslovic appears to be waking up while skating on a line with Patrik Laine, and his emergence could take some pressure off Jenner. The extra responsibility hasn't hurt Jenner's fantasy production, though -- since the beginning of November, he's racked up nine goals and 17 points in 17 games.

Jenner registered two assists in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Jenner has a goal and four points in his last three games, which brings him up to nine markers and 18 points in 23 contests. He got off to a cold start in 2022-23 with a goal and four points in his first 10 games, but ever since then Jenner has been a fairly reliable offensive contributor.
