The Columbus Blue Jackets are facing a tough break this season with the news that 21-year-old forward Kent Johnson will be sidelined for the rest of the year.

The young star suffered a torn labrum in his left shoulder during a recent clash with the New York Rangers. The exact moment of injury seems to have happened during a seemingly routine faceoff at center ice.
Johnson is set to undergo surgery next week to address the injury, though the team hasn't provided a specific timetable for his return to the ice.
Drafted 5th overall in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, Johnson has quickly become a cornerstone of the Blue Jackets' offense. Losing him for the season is a heavy hit for Columbus, a team already navigating through a challenging season.
