Reverts to taxi squadSchenn was assigned to the taxi squad Wednesday, per CapFriendly.
Approximately two weeks from returnNyquist (shoulder) is approximately two weeks away from joining the Blue Jackets, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
ImpactNyquist underwent shoulder surgery in November, with an initial estimate of a 5-to-6 month recovery. April 4 will be the five-month mark, so the Swede is right on track. Per Scheig, Nyquist's primary focus currently is on building up strength. Due to the long layoff, the 31-year-old winger would likely be eased back into action initially -- he's most likely to fill a middle-six role.

ImpactBjorkstrand should be considered questionable for Thursday's game versus Tampa Bay. If Bjorkstrand's unable to go, Riley Nash or Mikhail Grigorenko will likely draw into the lineup against the Lightning.
