R.J. Umberger, who has been a healthy scratch for the Blue Jackets' last two games, may draw back in against the Islanders Sunday afternoon. It is not a given Umberger will play, but we get the feeling that Columbus coach Todd Richards wants to give his slumping forward a chance to redeem himself. "By no means is he in the doghouse or anything like that," Richards said of Umberger. "But we want to get him back into games, yeah." Don't be surprised if Umberger dresses Sunday and responds with a solid game.
