As their season has already begun slipping away, the Blue Jackets are now starting to run into injury trouble. The IR list expanded by another important piece on Wednesday, with forward Mason Marchment being moved off of the active roster.
Mush is another in a long line of injured veterans for this team. He joins forwards Isac Lundestrom (upper body, week-to-week) and Miles Wood (lower body, week-to-week); as well as defensemen Brendan Smith (lower body, week-to-week), and Erik Gudbranson (hip, indefinite).
That's five rugged Blue Jackets out of the lineup. This is not ideal for a team that needs all of the help they can get, as they look to turn their season back in the right direction.
