Marian Gaborik figures his production will increase now that he has returned to the Columbus Blue Jackets' lineup. Gaborik scored his sixth goal of the season when he resurfaced with the Jackets for a 5-2 loss to New Jersey Thursday night. The veteran right winger had been out since suffering a broken collarbone on Dec. 21. In his return, he scored once, had two shots on goal and a minud-1 rating. He played 16 minutes and 40 seconds. "By the second period, I started to feel more comfortable, like I was in the game," Gaborik said. "It's only going to get better." Gaborik will open tonight's game against Florida on a line with Artem Anisimov and Nick Foligno.
