Blue Jackets' Oliver Bjorkstrand: Could return to practice Monday

Bjorkstrand (undisclosed) could return to practice Monday, The Columbus Dispatch reports.

Analysis:

Blue Jackets GM Jarko Kekalainen said the young winger is "progressing" but wouldn't elaborate on the exact nature of Bjorkstrand's injury, which he picked up Wednesday against the Leafs after being checked into the boards from behind. The Jackets are carrying enough forward depth to be cautious with him, and without knowing the nature of the injury, it's futile to guess at a possible return date.
