Blue Jackets' Scott Hartnell: Healthy scratch Wednesday
Hartnell didn't participate in line rushes during pregame warmups, indicating he'll be a healthy scratch for Wednesday's game against the Maple Leafs, Aaron Portzline of The Columbus Dispatch reports.
Analysis:
Hartnell hasn't tallied a single point over his last four games and has recorded a minus-1 rating over that span, so coach John Tortorella will hope Wednesday's scratch will light a fire under the veteran winger. Hartnell's next opportunity to slot back into the lineup will come Thursday against Washington.
