Jenner scored a power-play goal on six shots and added three hits in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Sabres.

Following his six-game point streak from March 21 to April 3, the 31-year-old endured a three-game slump before snapping it Thursday. He's up to seven goals, 19 points, 62 shots on net, 41 hits and a minus-2 rating across 22 appearances this season.

Blue Jackets' Boone Jenner: Lights lamp Saturday
Rotowire
Jenner scored a goal, had two PIM and added three shots on net in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.
Jenner's goal was a quick response to Ridly Greig's opening tally for the Senators, as Jenner tied the game at one piece just 31 seconds after the opening goal. The 31-year-old winger has five goals, 15 points and 44 shots on net in 16 games this season. Jenner has five points in his last four games and should be a steady contributor to the offense down the stretch for the Blue Jackets as they look to claim the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. He should be available in most fantasy leagues and should be rostered in deeper formats.

Blue Jackets' Boone Jenner: Nets shortie Monday
Rotowire
Jenner scored a shorthanded goal on three shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-3 shootout win over the Islanders.
Jenner has scored in each of his last two games, so it looks like he's got his timing back after a lengthy absence due to a shoulder injury. The 31-year-old was playing at center, but he moved to the wing Monday, while Sean Monahan and Adam Fantilli centered the Blue Jackets' first two lines. Jenner has contributed 11 points, 35 shots on net and 28 hits over 14 appearances, so he could give fantasy managers a boost with offense and physicality.

Blue Jackets' Boone Jenner: Three-game, five-assist streak
Rotowire
Jenner put up three assists Thursday in a 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
He also fired seven shots. Jenner is on a three-game, five-assist scoring streak in the three games he has played this season. He's never been a prolific scorer, but he's certainly been an opportunistic one, and that's exactly what he's doing right now. Fantasy managers should check their waiver wire to see if Jenner is languishing there. He's fresh and will help in the stretch run.

Blue Jackets' Boone Jenner: Notches assist in season debut
Rotowire
Jenner logged an assist, four hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.
This was Jenner's season debut following shoulder surgery he underwent in October following an injury in practice just before the start of the season. The 31-year-old offers a bit of grit and support scoring, and he should be a top-six fixture the rest of the way. He earned no fewer than 35 points in any of the previous three seasons despite missing at least 14 games in each of those campaigns, though the emergence of numerous younger forwards this year will take the pressure off of Jenner to produce.

Blue Jackets' Boone Jenner: Poised to return following break
Rotowire
Jenner (shoulder) is reportedly ahead of schedule and could return to action after the 4 Nations Face-Off, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports Tuesday.
After the NHL goes on break for the international tournament, the Jackets will resume their seasons against Chicago on Feb 22, so fantasy players may want to circle that date for a potential Jenner return. Given his scoring pace last season, the 31-year-old winger could put up around 15 points in the 26 games he'd have remaining in the regular season, assuming he does in fact play versus the Hawks and avoids any other stints on the shelf.
