Rotowire
Jenner ended up with two assists in Monday's 5-2 win against the Bruins.
Jenner also provided the physicality, dishing out six hits in his 19:37 of ice time, while winning nine of his 20 faceoff opportunities. One of his helpers came with the man advantage, and he has two power-play points in the past four outings while picking up at least one point in five of his past six games. He'll look to keep up the good work Wednesday against the visiting Canadiens.

Blue Jackets' Boone Jenner: Lights lamp twice in win
Rotowire
Jenner scored two goals, one on the power play, in Wednesday's 7-3 win over Chicago.
Both goals came in the first period as Columbus jumped out to a 3-0 lead. Jenner is enjoying a strong start to the season with 10 goals and 13 points in 20 games, and there appears to be an organizational focus on keeping him healthy -- the 30-year-old is averaging less than 20:00 pf ice time for the first time since 2020-21. Additionally, his 25 hits so far is well off the pace he set in that category last season when he laid 129 hits in only 68 contests.

Blue Jackets' Boone Jenner: Tallies in loss
Rotowire
Jenner scored at even strength in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Flyers.
Jenner is on pace for a career-high 34 goals as he's been rather efficient during 5-on-5 situations. On the downside, the Blue Jackets' captain has a lone power-play point (a goal), and with a mere three assists through 19 games, he's not moving the needle all that much. As a result, he's likely to be found on rosters only in deep fantasy leagues.

He made it 3-1 at 12:30 of the second when he deflected a point shot out of the air. Jenner is just the eighth Blue Jacket to ever record a natural hat trick. Most recently, Emil Bemstrom did so May 3, 2021.

Blue Jackets' Boone Jenner: Picks up helper
Rotowire
Jenner registered an assist against the Flyers on Thursday.
Jenner racked up 40-plus points in each of his previous two campaigns and there's been no indication that he won't reach that threshold again this year. In each of those two seasons, the 30-year-old winger also reached the 20-goal mark. If he can produce at those levels again this season, Jenner will find himself providing rock-solid fantasy value.

Blue Jackets' Boone Jenner: Starts camp on time
Rotowire
Jenner (back) was on the ice for Thursday's practice to begin training camp, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
Jenner missed the last three games of 2022-23 with a back injury. He had 45 points in 68 contests while seeing top-six minutes last year. While it's unclear if he'll line up as a center or winger -- he was the pivot between Johnny Gaudreau and Kent Johnson on Thursday -- Jenner should still see top-six usage in 2023-24.

Rotowire
Jenner (back) will miss Columbus' last two games of the campaign, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
Jenner is evidently dealing with a back injury that will hold him out of the last two contests of the season. The 29-year-old winger will finish the campaign having collected 26 goals, 45 points and an unsightly minus-32 ranking through 68 appearances.

Blue Jackets' Boone Jenner: Two points including OT winner
Rotowire
Jenner scored the game-winning goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Friday's 5-4 overtime victory over the Islanders.
Blue Jackets fans might end up remembering this goal as the one that cost them Connor Bedard, as the win moved the team ahead of the Sharks at the bottom of the NHL standings. Jenner is having a strong finish to the season regardless of what it means for the draft lottery though, and he's found the back of the net six times in the last seven games. On the season, the 29-year-old has 25 goals -- the second time in his career he's reached that mark -- and 43 points through 60 contests.

Blue Jackets' Boone Jenner: Two points including GWG
Rotowire
Jenner scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over Buffalo.
He danced through the Sabres defense and tucked the puck under the bar behind Craig Anderson with just 18 seconds left in the second period, giving the Blue Jackets a 4-1 lead it turned out they would need after Buffalo stormed back in the third. Jenner has three multi-point performances in the last five games, and over the last 16 contests he's accumulated a tidy eight goals and 14 points. With Columbus having no better options for their No. 1 center role, Jenner should remain a key cog for the club down the stretch.

Blue Jackets' Boone Jenner: Two-point effort Saturday
Rotowire
Jenner scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Oilers.
He also led the Blue Jackets with 11 faceoff wins and added five shots, two hits, a blocked shot and a minus-1 rating to his ledger. Jenner has three multi-point performances in the last seven games, collecting four goals and eight points over that stretch, and while he's miscast as a No. 1 center on a young Columbus roster, the veteran has some fantasy appeal in that role.
