Captain Jenner returns as Blue Jackets see welcome relief from injuries, but Gudbranson and Olivier remain sidelined with no return timeline.
The Columbus Blue Jackets not only weathered a snowstorm this weekend, they also weathered the injury bug that bit them over the past few weeks.
This past week, they saw the return of their captain Boone Jenner, which now leaves just two players remaining on their injury list.
The first one is Erik Gudbranson, who is likely going to be out for a significant time longer. He has missed 23 games so far and there no timeline for his return. The second player on the IR is Mathieu Olivier who has been out for eight games and much like Gudbranson, there isn't a timeline for his return as of yet. Olivier did skate with the team yesterday, so that's a very good sign.
Injuries
- Erik Gudbranson - Upper Body - Missed 23 Games - IR - No timeline for a return
- Mathieu Olivier - Upper Body - Missed 8 Games - IR- No timeline for a return
TOTAL MAN GAMES LOST: 61
