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.
