The Columbus Blue Jackets Outlook and Success Per The Athletic's Aaron Portzline, GM Don Waddell confirmed that Kent Johnson will not have surgery to repair his injured left shoulder. According to Portzline, he will miss "significant time," however. Johnson was injured against the Buffalo Sabres when he ran into teammate James van Riemsdyk. He got up off the ice immediately holding his shoulder, and looked extremely frustrated. Boone Jenner and Erik Gudbranson have both had shoulder surgery this month, so seeing Kent Johnson avoid surgery seems to be good news for the young winger. What's Next - Columbus travels to Nashville to take on the Predators on Saturday. What do you think? Please share your thoughts on our forum. [https://thehockeynews.rtb.io/NHLCBJ/posts]
