COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Columbus Blue Jackets have activated right-winger Derek Dorsett off injured reserve after he missed 15 games with a broken hand.

General manager Scott Howson announced the move Tuesday.

Dorsett, 22, was injured against Anaheim on Dec. 12. He has one goal and three assists, 60 penalty minutes and a +2 plus/minus rating in 18 games this season.

The native of Kindersley, Sask., had four goals and an assist in 52 games during his rookie season last year. He was the Blue Jackets’ ninth-round pick in the 2006 draft.
