Fri, Mar 15
Nikitin (upper body) will be a morning decision for Saturday's game against Phoenix, Shawn Mitchell of the Columbus Dispatch reports.

Recommendation: It appears as though Nikitin's neck is still bothering him. He returned to the Blue Jackets' lineup March 7 and has played every game since. He may just need a day to rest his neck. He has four points over 23 games so far this season.
