Status report
The Blue Jackets plan to use the same group of forwards and defensemen from a 4-3 overtime loss to the New York Islanders on Saturday. However, coach Rick Bowness said there is one game-time decision because of an illness. He did not provide specifics. … Iorio will return after being a healthy scratch for the Rangers’ 3-2 shootout win against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday. He will replace Morrow on defense.
