Voronkov returns to Columbus training

Blue Jackets forward missed start of season following offseason surgery

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Yegor Voronkov has returned to practice after missing the start of the season following offseason shoulder surgery.

The 23-year-old Russian winger had surgery in August to repair a torn labrum.

Voronkov is expected to make his season debut soon.

He had 13 goals and 18 assists in 79 games last season.

The Blue Jackets are 4-5-0 this season and are currently in last place in the Metropolitan Division.
