Andrew Peeke News: Returning against Jackets

Peeke (upper body) will be in the lineup to face Columbus on Monday, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.

Initial reports suggested Peeke wouldn't be ready to return from his upper-body injury in time for Monday's contest, but it appears he's made good progress. With the 26-year-old blueliner set to play for the first time since Nov. 5 versus the Leafs, he figures to take on a third-pairing role, while Parker Wotherspoon will likely be relegated to a spot in the press box.
