Blue Jackets team scope: Center Brandon Dubinsky, who missed three games after sustaining a concussion on Feb. 26, will return to the lineup, according to The Columbus Dispatch. Defenseman Kevin Connauton (lower body) will miss his fifth straight game. Right wing David Clarkson, acquired in a trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs for right wing Nathan Horton on Feb. 26, sustained a torn oblique muscle in a 5-3 loss against the Washington Capitals on Tuesday and will miss 4-6 weeks. Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, the expected starter against the Devils, returned to the lineup Tuesday after missing 17 games with a groin injury sustained on Jan. 21 and made 28 saves. Scott Hartnell had two goals for Columbus, 0-6-1 in the past seven games. "We're trying to win games. Guys are playing for spots. Guys are playing for ice time. You're playing for yourself, but ultimately you don't want to be the laughing stock of the League," Hartnell said.
