The Jackets haven’t haven’t announced any specifics on the injury and it very well might be nothing, but still is something to monitor ahead of tomorrow’s game against the Avalanche.
While we are still in the baby steps of the season, Dubinsky has been one of the leaders on the ice this year; he’s posted two points (goal, assist – along with Artemi Panarin) and ranks third in CF% (62.7%) and FF% (68.2%).
We’ll wait until we hear more before we can fully react.
