Blue Jackets top goal scorer Kirill Marchenko suffers broken jaw in loss to Stars: Source

It's the latest big blow for a Blue Jackets lineup that has been riddled with injuries all season.

Dammit. 6-8 weeks. Took one in the chops standing on the bench.

This franchise is cursed, there's just no other explanation.

Everything about this is wrong.

Zach extended his home point streak to 20 games. Only guys to have done more are named Orr (25), Coffey (23) and Housely (22).

He has also set the mark for points by a Jackets defenseman in a season with 58. He had 57 last year in 70 games. He's got 58 in 52 games.

This both excites and terrifies me. But doesn't scare me as much as if Jarmo said we'd be buyers.

Thing is, Provorov has been brilliant and has a 3 game goal streak and tied it last night. I know in my heart they should trade him, but it's getting harder and harder to want to.

If Provorov fits and is willing to settle for something reasonable they can do a lot worse than keep him.

Historically the Jackets always have one god awful contract on the books anyway and right now they don’t really (Severson maybe but that’s hardly keeping anyone up at night). Even if Provorov’s deal rots quickly it’s just keeping up with tradition.

It was said that Provorov was holding firm at 8 years and wasn't willing to entertain anything else. Now rumors are he would accept less term but higher AAV. At 5 years if he falls off a cliff at 3, it's fine. 8 years, not so much. If they can't agree, I would love it if Jackets chased Ekblad.

As the cap goes up, Severson's contract doesn't look quite as bad. Honestly, if we could put him in a steady role, he's fine. He's trying to be fill in for Gudbranson's defense and meanness and not playing his game.

There are reports (unconfirmed mind you) that Lindstrom was spotted at the arena in Medicine Hat last night. Could he be getting ready to join the Tigers for the last part of the season/playoffs?

I think it's pretty unlikely. Don has been very clear that he is not playing this year and may not even resume skating before the year is out. They aren't going to make a decision on next year until summer. The priority is rehab and strength training.

If he's there, it's not for an on-ice reason.

This also puts him 5 assists from the franchise lead, currently held by the Unholy Beast.

Remember when Jackets fans were sour on Kent Johnson? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Mostly the same people who wanted to abandon Elvis and lamented losing Scott Harrington

Tough way to lose a 4 point game on a weird bounce with a minute left. Hopefully we don't rue those points, but at least no one else we're fighting with gained any ground (except the Rangers). Interestingly a home and home against Detroit, including the outdoor game, could very well define both teams' fate. First time I can remember that an outdoor game mattered.

Jackets are saying that Fabbro, Jenner and Marchenko will be back after the break. Chinakhov is skating again. Gudbranson is expected to start skating soon and Monahan is on track to return shortly after the break. And Waddel has said he is aiming to add one more top six forward.

Could be a fun trade deadline day. We could make one acquisition and add 7 guys.
