Marian Gaborik (broken collarbone) said that he'd play on Thursday "unless something changes." Gaborik still needs to get medical clearance to return, although it sounds like that will happen. It remains to be seen what the Blue Jackets' lineup will look like once Gaborik returns. He practiced on the fourth line on Wednesday, which doesn't really provide us with much long-term insight, but might indicate that he'll be eased into the lineup.
