Columbus Blue Jackets Tickets - Not Suited To Win Before All-star Break
The Columbus Blue Jackets have won 22 games and lost 20 games with 5 OTs. Their 49 points put them at 19 out of 30 on the comparisons right now. Not for a lack of a good lineup of players. Forwards include Jared Boll, Derick Brassard, Jason Chimera, Derek Dorsett, Nikita Filatov, Kristian Huselius, Craig McDonald, Manny Malhotra, Fredrik Modin, Andrew Murray, Rich Nash, Jim Novotny, Michael Peca, Raffi, Torres, R.J. Umberger, Jakum Voracek and Jason Williams. Three goalies are on assigned which are Wade Dubielewicz, Pascal Leclaire and Steve Mason. Team defensemen include Christian Backman, Mike Commodore, Jan Hejda, Rostislav Kesla, Marc Methot, Kris Russell, Ole-Kristian Tollefsen and Fedor Tyutin. Players sidelined on the injured reserves include Brassard, Chimera, Novotny, Klesla and Leclaire. Fans shouldnt expect to see Leclaire back on the ice for awhile either.
The 26-year old goalie is scheduled to have ankle surgery and expected to be off the ice for approximately 10 to 12 weeks. Leclaire appeared in 12 games and suffered the injury to his ankle in the preseason game against the Minnesota Wild back in October. After the injury, Leclaire was off the ice for eight consecutive games. The last game that Leclaire played in was against Dallas on December 18th. General manager Scott Howson made the announcement on January 20th about the surgery that Leclaire will have to undergo to repair the injured ankle.
In the meantime, the show must go on for the Jackets. The games left in January for the Jackets will be against the Red Wings, Senators and Stars and all at home. Starting up in February, the Jackets will host the Blues, Sharks, Avalanche, Red Wings, Stars, Blues and Ducks in Columbus.
