Thursday morning, the Blue Jackets announced goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky will not be with the team for their matchup against the Nashville Predators.
Columbus general manager Jarmo Kekalainen made the announcement, issuing the following statement:
“There are certain expectations and values that we have established for our players that define our culture,” said Kekalainen. “An incident occurred in which Sergei failed to meet those expectations and values, so we made the decision that he would not be with the team for tonight’s game. This is an internal matter and we will have no further comment at this time.
