Dubinsky (upper-body) is expected to play on Friday.

Dubinsky has missed the last four games with an upper-body injury, but it looks like he will return on Friday in Chicago. Monitor his status during the morning skate to make sure he is back in. He has nine goals and 16 assists (25 points) in 38 games this season.

Dubinsky is out indefinitely with a concussion.

Dubinsky, who left Thursday’s game, was on the ice for yesterday’s practice. He said he felt fine, but then after the skate felt a lot worse. He was then diagnosed with a concussion, which will keep him out for the foreseeable future. With Dubinsky out, Alexander Wennberg will centre the second line.

Dubinsky (lower-body) took part in Blue Jackets practice on Friday.

Dubinsky suffered a lower-body injury in last night’s game, but his presence at practice this morning is a good sign that Dubinsky will not miss any time. Monitor his status prior to Saturday’s game vs. the Devils.
