Blue Jackets' Boone Jenner Out Indefinitely After Shoulder Surgery

The Columbus captain's absence could last up to six months, impacting the team's season significantly.

Boone Jenner, captain of the Columbus Blue Jackets, underwent shoulder surgery and is expected to miss most of the NHL season.
The injury occurred during practice last week, and the surgery was performed at The Steadman Clinic in Vail, Colorado.
Jenner's recovery timeline is uncertain, with a possible return in early March, aligning with the NHL stadium series matchup against the Detroit Red Wings.
His absence will be a major blow to the team, which is already dealing with other injuries and recent off-season tragedies.
Jenner has been a key player for the Blue Jackets, leading in games played and contributing significantly to the team's offense since becoming captain.
