The Blue Jackets ended a five-game losing streak with a feel-good victory vs. the Flyers. But Zach Werenski is expected to miss rest of the season.
Werenski, 25, is a franchise cornerstone. He’s a top-pair, first-power-play-unit, three-zone impact player.
Werenski in 2017-18 played most of the season with a left shoulder injury and, after the Jackets were eliminated from the playoffs, had surgery to repair a torn labrum. If there is a sliver of good news about his new injury, it’s that it’s the other shoulder. The Jackets will have to find out how well they can get on without their All-Star anchor. Their defense was already thin, and defenseman Nick Blankenburg will miss six to eight weeks after suffering a fractured ankle and high ankle sprain in Thursday's game.
