Blue Jackets' Eric Robinson: Labeled game-time call
Rotowire
Robinson (upper body) is considered a game-time call against the Hurricanes on Thursday, Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda reports.
With Robinson skating as an extra forward at Thursday's game-day skate, it seems unlikely he will be ready to play versus the Canes, though he hasn't been officially ruled out. Even once cleared to play, Robinson shouldn't be expected to take on more than a bottom-six role, which will no doubt make it hard for him to break out of his nine-game goal drought.

Rotowire
Robinson scored the game-winning goal in Friday's 3-1 victory over the Flames.

That snapped a seven-game point drought for Robinson, and the checking-line regular has just three goals and eight points through 25 games on the season.
