Laine has been a key player for the Blue Jackets this season, contributing 22 goals and 30 assists in 55 games. His offensive presence has been sorely missed in the team's recent games. The team is hopeful that Laine will be able to return to the ice by April 8th, but his status remains uncertain.

Jake Bean is out with a shoulder injury

Jake Bean, another defenseman for the Columbus Blue Jackets, has been out since February 10th due to a shoulder injury. Bean was acquired by the Blue Jackets in the offseason and was expected to be a key contributor on the blue line this season.
