Columbus Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell confirms to reporters that first-round draft pick Cayden Lindstrom underwent a back procedure.
Waddell said Lindstrom will be resting for a month while he recovers. The hope is that he can still return to playing this season for the Medicine Hat Tigers of the Western Hockey League (WHL).
The Blue Jackets drafted Lindstrom with the fourth pick in the 2024 NHL Draft.
Lindstrom has yet to play a game for the Tigers this season due to his injury. However, last season he had 27 goals, 19 assists for 46 points in 32 games.
