The Columbus Blue Jackets have recalled forward Kent Johnson from Cleveland of the AHL, the team announced Thursday.
The club also placed defenceman Damon Severson (oblique) on injured reserve. He is expected to miss at least the next five weeks.
Picked fifth overall in the 2021 NHL Draft, Johnson was sent down after posting one goal and two assists in eight games for Columbus this season.
Johnson has looked better in the AHL, picking up five goals and 10 assists in 15 games.
Johnson had 16 goals and 24 assists in 79 games last season, his first full year in the NHL.
Meanwhile, forward Cole Sillinger did not practise on Wednesday, per Aaron Portzline of The Athletic. He’s being evaluated for an injury suffered in Wednesday’s loss to the Montreal Canadiens.
The Blackhawks are going to have to wait to have forward Anthony Beauvillier as a full-time player.
Acquired in a trade with the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday, Beauvillier is going through the visa process, Luke Richardson told reporters, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.
Richardson said Beauvillier will be able to play Saturday in Winnipeg against the Jets because the game is in Canada.
Meanwhile, the Blackhawks say forward Cole Guttman is day to day with an upper-body injury.
