 Y hat trick should bee both linked and hyphenated "hat-trick" first occurrence   Done

? "Jenner still experienced lengthy scoring droughts" consider a better word in place of droughts   Done
  • I merged this sentence and the next so it now says Despite the move, Jenner still struggled to score consistently until the Blue Jackets acquired Thomas Vanek after the NHL Trade Deadline
 Y "They struggled to develop chemistry as a line" consider that develop chemistry may not be easy for non english speakers to understand since nothing involves science here.   Done

 Y "offseason training regime." consider "regimen"   Done
 Y "The trio immediately developed chemistry together" consider other description of their ability to work together

 Y Playing style and Personal life sections are both ok

Citations

edit
 Y Early life section citations check out
 Y "Due to their struggles, former Blue Jackets assistant coach Gary Agnew took over as head coach for the Generals in early November." The source behind the citation is just a hiring announcement but does not say why he was hired.   Done
 Y Playing career Amateur Spot checked the majority and the rest of citations and they line up.
 Y Professional Early years (2012–2016) "Jenner and fellow rookie Jack Johnson scored their first playoff goals within three minutes of each other during Game 3" this might be a slight misinterpretation of the reference, it actually says "scoring a pair of goals in the first three minutes"   Done
 Y Professional Early years (2012–2016) "Following his successful rookie season, Jenner was held to only 31 games during the 2014–15 NHL season due to various injuries" this line needs a reference because it is not supported by the citation.
 Y Finding post-season success, captaincy (2016–present) (to be done) Not an error, but should we list his nickname in the article? Bam Bam?
 Y Finding post-season success, captaincy (2016–present) citations support the text in the rest of the section
 Y Playing style citation supports the section
 Y Personal life citations support the section
 Y Career statistics I must admit I was not sure if this section needed to be cited. I checked other sports articles Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers and I see that these types of charts are not cited.
 Y Awards and honours section the citation supports this section

Images

edit
 Y There are three images used in the article and all seem to be properly licensed and free.
