Columbus Blue Jackets forward Artem Anisimov will play his first game in nearly three weeks Saturday.

Anisimov will be in the lineup when the Blue Jackets host the San Jose Sharks, the team announced.

He was placed on injured reserve with a suspected concussion after taking a hard hit to the head from Ottawa Senators defenseman Eric Gryba on Oct. 28.

Anisimov will center a line with Alexander Wennberg and Adam Cracknell, head coach Todd Richards said Saturday.
