Oliver Bjorkstrand Out 8-10 Weeks

March 3, 2020 at 2:30 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 4 Comments

March 3: Bjorkstrand underwent successful surgery to repair his broken ankle, meaning the eight to ten week timeline starts now.

February 21: If you though the Columbus Blue Jackets’ injury luck couldn’t get any worse, you were wrong. The team announced today that Oliver Bjorkstrand will be out for eight to ten weeks with a sprained and broken ankle. They have not yet made a decision on whether surgery will be required.

Bjorkstrand, when eventually placed on injured reserve, will join a list that currently includes Cam Atkinson, Brandon Dubinsky, Seth Jones, Alexander Wennberg, Ryan Murray, Josh Anderson, Alexandre Texier, Dean Kukan and Joonas Korpisalo. It also will make it even more difficult for them to grab a playoff spot in a tight Eastern Conference race.

The Blue Jackets have been an impressive bunch this season, fighting through injury and finding a way to win on a regular basis. A big part of that success was thanks to Bjorkstrand himself, who easily leads the team in goals with 21 and is third in points. The 24-year old has become a legitimate top-six force and was on pace to blow by his career-high of 40 points. That won’t happen now, though perhaps he could return at some point in the playoffs if the Blue Jackets make it and advance past the first round.

    I know these things are flukey but I would be firing the entire training staff. Just on the principal of the matter and not whether any of this could have been avoided.

    Well that makes sense. Upend qualified peoples’ lives because of something completely out of control.

    The Jackets must’ve made a deal with the devil last season to make the playoffs that one year in exchange for misery and woe this season. This goes beyond bad luck what has happened to them this season.
