Aston-Reese (upper body) is expected to suit up in Tuesday's clash with the Panthers, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
Aston-Reese's status was up in the air after he was forced to leave Saturday's clash with the Avalanche after less than a minute of ice time, but he appears no worse for the wear. Still, the 30-year-old center is unlikely to see a ton of ice time, he played just 7:33 in the season opener versus Minnesota, so fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting a lot of offensive production.
