Columbus Blue Jackets Cam Atkinson Returns to the Lineup
Columbus Blue Jackets star Cam Atkinson is set to return to the lineup tonight after being a healthy scratch against the Arizona Coyotes last Saturday.
Head coach John Tortorella and the Columbus Blue Jackets organization is all about accountability. From top to bottom of the organization. He proved that once again by benching Cam Atkinson for four straight periods going back to the final stanza of the New Jersey Devils matchup last Friday.
Following his time in the press box Saturday, coach Tortorella announced to the team after practice on Monday that Cam will return to the lineup. The 28-year-old is coming off of a 35 goal season but has struggled in 2017.
