Blue Jackets Weekly Injury Report: Week 22
The NHL season is winding down, but injuries are piling up across the league. For the Columbus Blue Jackets, they have 16 games left in the season, but unlike most teams, they’re getting players back from injury.
Recently, head coach Dean Evason told the media that Erik Gudbranson is close to returning and could be back sometime this week. The Blue Jackets could use another experienced defenseman on their blue line as things tighten up down the stretch.
They’re still waiting on Sean Monahan, who will be a huge boost to their power play once he returns.
Without further ado, let's look at the Blue Jackets' weekly injury report:
Injuries
- Erik Gudbranson (upper body) is on Injured Reserve on Oct. 16 (63 Games)
- Sean Monahan (upper body) is on Injured Reserve retroactive to Jan. 7 (25 Games)
- Kevin Labanc (shoulder) is on Injured Reserve as of Feb. 21 and out for the season (10 Games)
- Cole Sillinger is day-to-day with an upper body injury (7 Games)
- Jake Christiansen (upper body) is out (1 Game)
TOTAL MAN GAMES LOST: 283
The Blue Jackets are getting healthier, and the hope is it'll be in time for the playoffs.
