The Columbus Blue Jackets will be without a star forward on a long-term basis.
The Columbus Blue Jackets have already had their fair share of injuries through the first four games of the season. Kent Johnson became the newest player taken out of the Blue Jackets lineup, and the early diagnosis doesn’t look promising.
Evason didn’t have many details on a timeline for Johnson’s return, but did say “It’s not short term.”Johnson was an early exit from the Blue Jackets’ 6-4 win over the Buffalo Sabres. In the early stages of the second period, Johnson left the game with an upper-body injury. Through the start of the season, the Blue Jackets have gone 2-2-0 with Johnson helping lead the way. In the first four games, Johnson has picked up two goals and three assists for five points.
