Blue Jackets' Scott Hartnell: All but ruled out Wednesday

Hartnell (lower body) is doubtful for Wednesday's home game against the Maple Leafs, NHL.com reports.

Analysis:

Despite barely averaging a tick over 12 minutes of ice time per game this season, Hartnell has managed 30 points (13 goals, 17 assists) along with a plus-12 rating. Few players in the league can match his cross-category efficiency, but his absence does open up playing time for rookie Oliver Bjorkstrand within the top six and on the second power-play unit.
