Cam Atkinson is set to return to the CBJ lineup for tonight’s contest against the Nashville Predators. After a tough three game road stint, this is welcome news as the Jackets skate into Nationwide Arena this evening for their second of back-to-back games.
The 28-year-old forward, who has been out the past four games with a lower body injury, has been a steadfast contributor to the offense over the years, and has opened this season with similar production. Not only has Cam’s offensive impact been missed, his veteran leadership has left a void amongst the very young roster.
