Jenner has been playing through the injury before it became infected on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n<p>Jenner has scored 9 goals along with 12 assists for 21 points to go along with 20 penalty minutes this season. His possession numbers were 47.5 percent Corsi\u00a0and a relative Corsi of -3.1 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Jenner has been a lifelong\u00a0Blue Jacket over the course of his six year NHL career. He has 95 goals and 87 assists for 182 career points in 390 career games. Columubs originally drafted Jenner in the 2nd round, 37th overall in the 2011 NHL draft.<\/p>\n<h2>What This Means for the Future<\/h2>\n<p>Jenner has been one of the better faceoff men for the Jackets this season. The Jackets are currently 20th in the league on draws. With Jenner out of the line-up, the Jackets will lose some size up front along with a solid faceoff man. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/w\/wennbal01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alexander Wennberg<\/a><\/strong> will move up to center the second line in Jenner&#8217;s absence. Wennberg has a goal and eight assists in 49 games this season. However, he&#8217;s been scoreless over his last eight games.<\/p>\n<p>With Jenner being out the Blue Jackets have recalled <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/l\/letesma01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mark Letestu<\/a><\/strong> from the AHL. Letestu has yet to see any NHL action this season. In 39 AHL games, this season Letestu has 13 goals and 13 assists for 26 points. The 33-year-old veteran was signed to a two year deal in the Summer after being acquired\u00a0from the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/oilers\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Edmonton Oilers<\/a>. Letestu is on a two-way deal and will likely head right back to down to the AHL once Jenner returns to the lineup.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2018\/02\/boone-jenner.jpg\" alt=\"\">Columbus Blue Jackets forward Boone Jenner.
