It’s the last home game as the 2021-2022 season wraps up. Unfortunately for the Jackets and the fans, the team is dealing with even more injuries.
#CBJ will be without Zach Werenski and Nick Blankenburg for the last two games, head coach Brad Larsen says.

This happens at the end of a season when playoffs are off the table, but it is still a lengthy #CBJ walking wounded list including Jenner, Werenski, Laine, Kuraly, Texier, Korpisalo, Boqvist, Blankenburg, and Tarasov, all out tonight (and probably tomorrow).
