The Columbus Blue Jackets may have swatted the injury bug away before it had time to bite top forward Ryan Johansen.

Johansen, the team's leading scorer, took part in line rushes at the morning skate in advance of Tuesday's game against the Detroit Red Wings, and is expected to play in his usual spot in the lineup.

Head coach Todd Richards said Johansen was a little banged up Monday and deemed him questionable for the contest.
