Blue Jackets' Oliver Bjorkstrand: Promoted to big club on emergency basis

The Blue Jackets recalled Bjorkstrand from AHL Cleveland on an emergency basis Friday.

Analysis:

Bjorkstrand's promotion suggests one of the other Blue Jackets' forwards may be dealing with an illness or injury ahead of Friday evening's matchup with Detroit. The 21-year-old winger has failed to tally a point while averaging just 10:51 of ice time over three games with the big club this season, and will likely once again play a minor role if he's needed in the lineup against the Red Wings.
