Jenner (back) could make his preseason debut versus St. Louis on Thursday, Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jenner missed the final 23 games of the previous campaign and has yet to get onto the ice for the Jackets for a preseason tilt. Barring any setbacks, the 29-year-old Ontario native should slot into a first-line center role. Despite playing in just 59 games last year, Jenner still notched his second 20-plus goal campaign last year and should be capable of reaching that mark again in 2022-23.
