He has eight goals and nine assists for a total of 17 points. Outside of his 2015-16 season, Jenner was poised to have an above-average season for his standards.

Jenner has been a player they can rely on, notching 230 points in 530 career games, all as a Blue Jacket. He was nearly a 50-point player in 2015-16 but fell one assist short of the mark. His 30 goals that season were very impressive, despite not reaching the plateau.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What This Means For The Future<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Jackets&#8217; season has not gone as planned.

Instead, Laine has gone cold, scoring one goal in the last fifteen games. Any time a depth scorer like Jenner goes down with an injury, it forces the coach&#8217;s hand. It&#8217;s tough because the players that general manager Jarmo Kekalainen expected to pan out aren&#8217;t doing so. Unless the Jackets make a miracle playoff push, they will most likely stay out of the playoffs. This could mean that Jenner won&#8217;t be back until next season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The timeline is not set in stone, as some players return from surgery quicker than others. However, even if he makes a return, the number of games Jenner participates in will be few. The team will have to make do with the roster they have and hope that Jenner&#8217;s recovery goes quicker than expected.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"hnH5BlBCQ6l0WAi2Oc2LMQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1309629147\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'hnH5BlBCQ6l0WAi2Oc2LMQ',sig:'-5Ny-VzvDp5JVZE38Cgc4laVeDuW1gJ9SseYCmX2oI4=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1309629147',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Columbus Blue Jackets\u00a0announced that forward\u00a0Boone Jenner\u00a0would be out about six weeks to recover from broken finger surgery.
