Eric Robinson Out Six Weeks With MCL Injury

February 2, 2022 at 3:55 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 3 Comments

The Columbus Blue Jackets seem to announce a serious injury every week these days. Eric Robinson is the latest to hit the shelf, as the team announced that he will miss six weeks with an MCL sprain in his right knee. The winger was injured in Monday’s game against the Florida Panthers on a hit from Radko Gudas, one that did not draw a penalty or any supplementary discipline from the league.

Robinson, 26, has gone from undrafted college free agent to full-time NHL forward in a few short years and has 17 points in 42 games with the Blue Jackets this season. He averages 14 minutes a night in a bottom-six role, with a good chunk of that coming on the penalty kill. He and Sean Kuraly lead all Blue Jackets forwards in shorthanded ice time this season, and given the recent injuries to Alexandre Texier and Jake Bean, the team has lost a lot of the options they’re comfortable with when down a man.

Six weeks doesn’t rule him out for the rest of the season but does take him right up against the trade deadline. Any chance the Blue Jackets had to try and chase down a playoff spot before then is slipping further away with every injury that chips away at the organizational depth. The team now sits 18 points behind the Washington Capitals for fourth in the Metropolitan Division and 14 points behind the Boston Bruins for the final wildcard spot.

    The Cheese Wheel strikes again. Hip/Butt-on-knee, magically seen by the stripes as a mere “hockey play”, joining the crap from Brenden Dillon the other day, throwing a leg out to trip O’Reilly, while engaged in an attempted low-bridge move on another Blues player entering the zone at the same time. O’Reilly being much luckier that he wasn’t injured, but couldn’t finish the play. Now Robinson’s out for a while…

      The DoPS or as i call it the department of DOPES once again fails to protect the players from absolutely egregious plays such as this one… brutal that they cannot get any calls right now days
