The shuffle comes after many on the Blue Jackets roster are out due to injury and illness. An astonishing 10 players are sidelined. Listed below is the player, the date they have been out since, and then the reason why they are out.
Justin Danforth is back after suffering a concussion on March 7, he played in the game against the New York Islanders on April 4. Johnny Gaudreau was seen at practice on April 5 after missing the Islanders game due to illness.
The Blue Jacket’s season is coming to a close on April 16. They have 6 games left in the season. At this point in the season, there is no hope of making the playoffs, but these games could help the team’s chemistry and morale. The team has hopes of finishing the season strong but it could be a tough battle. The missing players have given others a chance to play more minutes or to play in the NHL. Unfortunately, these moves have also affected the Cleveland Monsters, as they have just made a season record with 7 losses in a row. Maybe those who have been called up can find some success on the Blue Jackets.
