The Blue Jackets activated defenseman Adam Boqvist off injured reserve after a three-game absence ahead of the team's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday.
Boqvist suffered an upper-body injury in Calgary on Jan. 25 after taking a puck to the face while sitting on the bench.
I almost feel bad posting this because its not the best shot of Adam Boqvist (blame the photographer!), but he was willing to show off the new smile after he was hit in the chops by a puck on the bench back in Calgary. Likely to return Saturday. pic.twitter.com/3gt03VpOAL
