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

EDGE Analysis

Clarkson, who last suited up on March 11, has notched four points and 23 PIM in 23 games for Columbus to date this season. Consider him iffy for Tuesday's game against the Flyers.

Clarkson (undisclosed) didn't practice Saturday, Todd Jones of the Columbus Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Clarkson has been hampered by injury for much of the 2015-16 campaign, and appears poised to miss at least a few more games with this latest issue. The exact nature of Clarkson's ailment remains a mystery, but the Blue Jackets should provide an update on the veteran winger's status once a timetable for his return to action is established.

Clarkson (upper body) was taken off injured reserve by the Blue Jackets on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Clarkson will still need to get in some practice time before he can rejoin the lineup, but coming of injured reserve is a step in the right direction. The winger has missed a total of 21 contests thus far dating back to Jan. 2. In his limited number of health outings, the 31-year-old has tallied a disappointing two points in 18 matchups, which makes him a low-end option in terms of fantasy value.

Clarkson (upper body) has been skating for the past few days, The Columbus Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

While it's an encouraging development, the exact details of Clarkson's setback remain a bit of a mystery, as the club hasn't expanded beyond coining it an upper-body injury and GM Jarmo Kekalainen indicated he remained without a timetable. The winger has't played since Jan. 2, so whenever he's ready, he'll likely need some full practices under his belt before returning to game action.

Clarkson (upper body) was placed on injured reserve on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Clarkson will be out of the lineup for a while according to coach John Tortorella. The winger has struggled on both ends of the ice, tallying only two points in 18 games while racking up a minus-7. With the 31-year-old injured, Jared Boll is likely to see increased ice time.

Clarkson (upper body) will be out for an extended period of time, Shawn Mitchell of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Clarkson suffered the injury during Saturday's game against Washington, and head coach John Tortorella believes it will keep the forward out for some time. Expect Jared Boll to take Clarkson's spot in the lineup for the time being.

Clarkson suffered an upper-body injury in Saturday's game against the Capitals and did not return.

EDGE Analysis

Clarkson was limited to just 3:46 of ice time in Saturday's contest before leaving due to injury. He was replaced by Jared Boll on the fourth line during Monday's practice, but he hasn't officially been ruled out Tuesday at this point. Another update should be provided either later Monday or after morning skate Tuesday.

Clarkson will be a healthy scratch Tuesday night against the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Columbus needs all of the offense it can get against Dallas --- currently the top team in the league -- and Clarkson likely wouldn't have been a factor with the puck had he gotten the starting nod. Clarkson has just two points in 17 games this season and it seems that his 30-goal output with New Jersey in 2011-12 is not only an outlier, but a distant memory as well.

Clarkson picked up his first goal of the season in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

He's gotten off the fourth line recently, and the 15:35 TOI that Clarkson received Thursday was a season high. It's hard to expect any kind of consistent offense from him given how he's looked for the last few seasons, but if he keeps getting consistent ice time he might chip in the occasional goal.

Clarkson (back) was activated off of injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

A previous report suggested that Clarkson could return to the lineup at some point this week, and his activation from injured reserve Wednesday certainly backs that up. His next chance to play comes Thursday against the Jets, and it certainly seems as though he'll draw in.
