Their goalie Sergei Bobrovsky has a lower-body injury and is expected to miss three weeks, according to The Columbus Dispatch. The injury occurred during a game against the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday.
Bobrovsky had been significantly improving this season, posting a 2.52 GAA and a .916 save percentage. His numbers may not be great but they are better than what he had been doing before that.
Losing Bobrovsky, I believe, sinks the ship for the Blue Jackets even further. They're already tied with Carolina for the basement of the Metropolitan Division and now it looks like they might not be able to crawl their way back into this. They've already replaced their coach and now they are replacing their goaltender with their backup. Not exactly the type of news they wanted to hear.
The Blue Jackets really have nowhere to go and it looks like their ship will sink this season. I really thought this team had a chance to make it back into the playoffs, but thanks to this bad start and now the loss of their goaltender, it's hard for me to see them getting there this season.
