Looking at the Columbus Blue Jackets' weekly injury report.
Welcome to a new series where we will look at the Columbus Blue Jackets' weekly injury report.
The weekly injury report will come out every Monday morning for those diehard fans as well as fantasy hockey general managers.
Blue Jackets Injury Report:
- Boone Jenner – C, Columbus Blue Jackets (Shoulder)
- Kent Johnson – C, Columbus Blue Jackets (Shoulder)
- Erik Gudbranson – D, Columbus Blue Jackets (Unspecified Shoulder Injury)
TOTAL MAN GAMES LOST: 73
Unfortunately, the Blue Jackets are without their captain and one of their most grizzled veterans in Gudbranson. Both who would have had a large impact on and off the ice. This is the time in young player's careers when they need to step up and help take over the leadership group.
As for Johnson, he is out for the next few weeks, but when he returns, the hope is that he can find his footing and start to take over as the Blue Jackets' most bona fide goal scorer on the roster.
