Jake Bean To Be Out "For A While"
8 months agoColumbus Blue Jackets defenseman Jake Bean (undisclosed) could be out for the rest of the season after getting hurt in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Islanders. Bean exited the contest near the end of the game after blocking a shot. Blue Jackets head coach Pascal Vincent said postgame that the 25-year-old blue-liner would be out "for a while." Columbus finishes the campaign on April 16, giving Bean very little time to recover. The former AHL All-Star has made 72 appearances in 2023-24, posting 13 points (four goals, nine assists) with 110 blocks. Jake Christiansen is expected to be called up from the minors to take Bean's spot in the lineup.
