With the fourth line playing well according to head coach John Tortorella, Milano will be the one to come out of the lineup with Cam Atkinson returning to the lineup on Thursday.

Columbus finally gets some good news on the injury front, with Milano returning from an eight-game absence. Milano, who has 11 points (3G / 8A) in 30 games this season, will replace Alexandre Texier (back) in the lineup in Boston.

It looks like Milano was able to escape a scary hit with a minor injury. His "day-to-day" tag suggests that he will miss tonight's game in Detroit and makes him questionable for Thursday's game vs. the Kings and Saturday's game vs. the Devils.

Milano was hurt early in Saturday's game in Ottawa. He stumbled along the side-boards and it resulted in him taking an ugly hit from Mark Borowiecki. The Blue Jackets' medical staff had to help Milano off of the ice and it looks as if he could miss some time. Marko Dano was called up on Sunday and will replace Dano in the lineup on Monday.

Milano had just one goal in eight games with Columbus last season. He spent most of the year in Cleveland (AHL), where he had 24 points (11G / 13A) in 27 games. He will replace Josh Anderson, who is day-to-day with an injury.

Milano has just one goal while averaging just 8:19 TOI/GM in eight games this season. Milano will be replaced by Markus Hannikainen on the Blue Jackets fourth line.

Milano has been sidelined for almost four weeks with a torn oblique muscle. Travelling with the team bodes well for his chances of playing in one of the next two games, but for now he remains without a timetable for his return.

Milano suffered an injury in Toronto on January 8th and has missed the last two games as a result. After undergoing tests, it was revealed that Milano is dealign with a torn oblique muscle and will be sidelined until at least mid-February.

Milano, 21, has five goals and five assists (10 points) in 28 games with the Blue Jackets this season. He returns to the Monsters, where he has collected two assists in four games.

Milano, who was the No. 16 overall pick in 2014, has had an average first quarter of the season, collecting five goals and five assists (10 points) in 24 games this season. He’ll return to Cleveland but will likely be the first forward recalled in the future. Milano had 47 points (18G / 29A) in 54 AHL games last season.

Milano failed to record a point in two games during his call-up. His return to Cleveland, where he has one goal in four games, suggests that Brandon Dubinsky will be back in the lineup on Saturday.
