TOTAL MAN GAMES LOST: 73

Unfortunately, the Blue Jackets are without their captain and one of their most grizzled veterans in Gudbranson. Both who would have had a large impact on and off the ice. This is the time in young player’s careers when they need to step up and help take over the leadership group.
