The Columbus Blue Jackets were hit by preseason injuries but have remained healthy through the first month of the season.
The Columbus Blue Jackets started the season missing a few players, but have since gotten just about everyone back.
With Ivan Provorov and Dante Fabbro back in the mix, the defense looks much better.
In the last game against Buffalo, the CBJ lost a few players for the game to injury.
- Sean Monahan blocked a shot with his knee and left the game. At practice today, Monahan told the media that he'll be back on Tuesday. He missed today's practice for a maintenance day, understandably so.
- Dmitri Voronkov was also lost for the game after taking a big hit. He was checked out and should be good to go for tomorrow's game.
- Denton Mateychuk took a puck or stick near his eye in Sunday's practice. Rick Bowness said he would be checked to make sure there was no damage to the eye. Sounds like he got lucky, though.
- Conor Garland is out with no timetable of a return with an upper body injury.
