Big news out of practice today for the Columbus Blue Jackets. Both Nick Foligno and Markus Nutivaara participated fully and will be ready to go in game one against the Washington Capitals. The news is a huge boost to the Jackets as they look to win their first playoff series ever.
Nuti will draw in alongside his third pair partner Ryan Murray. Jack Johnson will be scratched in place of Nutivaara who was playing top notch hockey before suffering an injury in Calgary. The injury was suffered after he had already scored a goal, his second in as many games.
