Texier had six goals and seven assists in 36
games this season before sustaining a back injury in a Dec. 31
game against the Florida Panthers.
The injury sidelined the 20-year-old Frenchman for the final 30
games before the season was interrupted by the COVID-19
pandemic.
A second-round pick in 2017, Texier has 14 points (seven goals,
seven assists) in 38 career games. He added two goals and one
assist in eight games during the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
When the season resumes, the Blue Jackets are set to meet the
Toronto Maple Leafs in a best-of-five qualifying series. The
winner advances to the Eastern Conference quarterfinals of the
2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
