Dubinsky (lower body) is expected to return to the lineup Saturday, The Columbus Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

On Friday, the Blue Jackets assigned forwards Sonny Milano and Mark Hannikainen to AHL Cleveland, a series of transactions that likely wouldn't have been made if Dubinsky was still ailing. Over the course of a career 10 years old, B-Dub has provided 11 helpers in 14 games against the Blues, the upcoming opponent, though some of that production was had when he was wearing a blue shirt in New York from 2006-12.

Dubinsky (lower body) has been scratched from the lineup for Thursday night's matchup in Boston, marking the second game in a row he will miss to injury.

EDGE Analysis

Dubinsky, has played more of a support role this season for a Columbus offense that is ranked fifth in the league with 3.2 goals per game. With only two assists and a minus-6 rating through 10 games this season, the Alaskan center has mostly underperformed this season and will look to turn it around when he inevitably returns.

Dubinsky is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, Aaron Portzline of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dubinsky sustained the ding in Tuesday's practice, and has already been ruled out of Wednesday's matchup with the Ducks. The Blue Jackets' next contest is scheduled for Thursday against the Bruins, so Dubinsky may be in danger of missing multiple games. The 30-year-old forward's owners can expect another update on his status ahead of puck drop Thursday evening.

Dubinsky has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Anaheim with an undisclosed injury, Aaron Portzline of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

The team did not provide any details surrounding Dubinsky's ailment, which means it is unclear how long he can be expected to miss. The 20-year-old has struggled to produce this season, as he has notched just two helpers in 10 contests. Look for an update on Dubinsky's status once more information regarding the nature of his injury is determined.

Dubinsky notched a power-play assist and five hits during Friday's 10-0 trouncing of the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

On a massive scoring night, Dubinsky managed to get just a small piece of the action. The 30-year-old is off to an unappealing start to his campaign, registering just two assists through nine games. While he's struggled with his health at times, the center is usually good for at least 30 points on the year (48 last season). However, the veteran is looking sluggish and may find it tough to reach that mark if he continues his disappointing play.

Dubinsky went minus-5 with two shots, five hits and two PIM in Thursday's season-opening 6-3 loss against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Well, that was ugly. The Bruins' top line skated circles around the Jackets, and Dubinsky finished with the ugliest stats of them all in his 17:35 on the ice. Nonetheless, he's currently healthy and set to serve in a major role for Columbus this year.

Dubinsky will be a healthy scratch in Tuesday's World Cup match against Team Canada, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Well documented is Dubinsky's ability to get under the skin of Sidney Crosby, so this is yet another curious roster move by Team USA coach John Tortorella, who elected to bench Dustin Byfuglien in the World Cup opener last Saturday. The stakes can't be higher for the Americans as they're coming off a 3-0 loss to Europe and face a squad from north of the border that are the odds-on favorites to win the tournament.

Dubinsky scored twice, skated to a plus-2 and fired six shots on goal in Wednesday's 5-1 win over Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Dubi had quite the night against the lowly Leafs, bringing him up to 17 goals and 47 points in 73 games this year. With two games remaining in the regular season, he'd need a miracle to surpass his career high of 54, but with a little luck, the Alaska native could reach the 50-point plateau for the third time in his 10th NHL season.

Dubinsky scored a goal and managed three shots, but finished minus-1 in 16:57 of ice time in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Dubinsky scored on the Jackets' first shot of the game. The 29-year-old continues to be one of the few bright spots in the Columbus offense. The 29-year-old is on his way to the highest assist output of his career and currently just nine points shy of his highest points total.

Dubinsky assisted on two third-period goals in a 5-3 win over Detroit Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Aside from the helpers, Dubinsky took three shots on goal and recorded a hit and a blocked shot in 21:00 of ice time. The 29-year-old has stepped his game up as of late, recording seven pints in the last eight contests. With the way he's been playing lately, he is worth a look in daily fantasy formats on a matchup basis.
