Jackets captain Boone Jenner to have thumb surgery

Columbus Blue Jackets captain Boone Jenner will have surgery Tuesday to repair a fractured thumb.

The team placed Jenner on injured reserve Monday and recalled fellow center Josh Dunne from the AHL's Cleveland Monsters.

Jenner got hit by a puck in a Dec. 13 game against the Florida Panthers but played in each of the Blue Jackets' next two games. He scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss at the Boston Bruins.
