Blue Jackets Place Kent Johnson On IR; Recall Jet Greaves

The Blue Jackets have announced that they have put forward Kent Johnson on IR today. 

Per a Blue Jackets PR release, "Johnson is expected to have surgery later this week to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder and will miss the rest of the 2023-24 season." A terrible bit of luck for young Kent Johnson to go along with a tough season. He has 16 points. 

The team has also recalled goalie Jet Greaves from Cleveland. Greaves has an NHL record of 1-2-0 in limited action. For Cleveland this season, he's 25-9-3 with a 2.88 GAA, .910 SV%.
