Is more help on the horizon?

By the sounds of it...yes.

Josh Anderson has been out since Feb. 26, when he injured his knee late in the Blue Jackets' win over the Washington Capitals at Nationwide Arena. If you haven't heard, the team has played pretty well since then, but they really miss Anderson in the lineup. 

Blue Jackets head coach John Tortorella told reporters after practice Friday that Anderson has started skating. He will accompany the team on its upcoming road trip to western Canada, but there's no timetable for his return to game action.

Anderson has 18 goals and 29 points in 61 games for the Blue Jackets this season. His 18 goals are tied second-most on the team with Cam Atkinson, seven behind Artemi Panarin.
