The Full List of Every Blue Jacket Injury

God bless the Columbus Blue Jackets athletic trainers and physicians: they have had their work cut out for them this season.

Columbus led the league in man games lost with 346 ahead of Tuesday’s win over Philadelphia, 34 ahead of second-place Colorado.

Since the injuries have been so frequent and numerous, we are here to make it all more digestible. Below, you will find a list of the 25 Blue Jackets players who have primarily played at the NHL level this season and began the season on an NHL roster. The list details when, and if, the player was injured and the nature of the injury. They are listed by the number of games played.
