Jenner, whose status was described by coach Dean Evason as “not short-term,” will miss his second game of the season when the Blue Jackets (9-7-1) host the New York Rangers (9-7-2) on Nov. 15 at Nationwide Arena. This is the fifth straight season that Jenner has required an IR stint, including a four-month recovery last season after shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum.
