Wennberg played 14:27 on Saturday, which was his lowest on-ice total since February 19th, which suggests he may have suffered an injury vs. Colorado. There is no word when he suffered it or what the nature of the injury is, but he is questionable for Tuesday’s game. Wennberg has registered two assists in his last three games.
Wennberg, 20, recorded his first NHL point (assist) in his NHL debut on October 9 at Buffalo, and has notched three assists and eight penalty minutes in 21 games with the Blue Jackets this season
Wennberg has three assists and a minus-14 rating in 21 games with the Blue Jackets this season. Kerby Rychel and Michael Chaput were recalled with Wennberg going down.
Wennberg was sent down on Sunday but it was just a 'paper move' so they could activate Ryan Murray (knee) from IR. Today they placed Matt Calvert (upper-body) on IR to make room for Wennberg to be added back to the 23-man roster.
Wennberg, 20, appeared in seven games with the Blue Jackets this season, registering his first NHL point (assist) in his NHL debut on October 9 at Buffalo. He recorded 16 goals and five assists for 21 points with eight penalty minutes in 50 games with Frolunda of the Swedish Hockey League in 2013-14. The Stockholm, Sweden native was the club’s first pick, 14th overall, in the 2013 NHL Draft.
