Status report
Hutton, a defenseman, was placed in NHL COVID-19 protocol Sunday. Miromanov, who hasn't played since Feb. 1, likely will replace him in the lineup. ... Thompson could start for the first time since making 35 saves in a 4-1 win at the San Jose Sharks on Feb. 20. ... Laine took part in the morning skate and said that he will play. He collided knee-on-knee with Minnesota Wild defenseman Jonas Brodin during overtime of the Blue Jackets 4-3 shootout win Friday. ... Gaunce and Fix-Wolansky will replace forwards Jenner and Voracek. … Voracek was kneed by Wild forward Marcus Foligno during the first period Friday and is day-to-day. … Jenner has had recurring back problems but it got worse Friday, according to Blue Jackets coach Brad Larsen.
