The Blue Jackets, a little banged up right now and struggling to score goals, are making more lineup alterations in advance of tonight's huge game in Pittsburgh.
Lukas Sedlak (upper body) remains week-to-week, John Tortorella said, and Matt Calvert will be a healthy scratch tonight vs. the Penguins. That means Boone Jenner will make a move to his natural center position, while Sonny Milano and Oliver Bjorkstrand slot into the forward group. There's more skill in the lineup, no doubt, but some uncertainty as the lines take another new shape with the postseason just around the corner. May as well get the tinkering done now.
Torts says he is moving Boone Jenner back to center for the remaining regular-season games. Gagner moving back to wing. #CBJ

Zach Werenski remains out of the lineup and is listed day-to-day, but Reed says both he and Ryan Murray made the trip to Pittsburgh. That doesn't mean their returns are imminent, but keeping them around the group is a good sign that they're not too far off.
Sergei Bobrovsky gets the start in goal tonight for the Blue Jackets, who are looking to break their first three-game losing skid of the season. There wouldn't be a better time to do it, would there?
