Blue Jackets' Jones returns to lineup after suffering upper-body injury

Columbus Blue Jackets blue-liner Seth Jones returned to the lineup Thursday versus the Philadelphia Flyers, one game after suffering an upper-body injury.

Jones left late in the second period of Monday's contest against the Montreal Canadiens due to the ailment. Following the game, Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella noted Jones had aggravated a past injury and that he was held out of the remainder of the game as a precaution.

The Blue Jackets defender enters Thursday's game riding a three-game point streak in which he has tallied four goals and three assists.
