Vladislav Gavrikov Will Be Held Out Of Action Tuesday
2 years agoColumbus Blue Jackets defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov will sit out Tuesday's matchup against New Jersey as a healthy scratch, with the team not wanting to risk an injury as the Blue Jackets look to move Gavrikov in a trade. The 27-year-old has been logging big minutes on the injury-hit Columbus blue line, although without much effect. He's sitting on an 11-game scoring drought and has amassed only 10 points through 52 games with 56 hits and 89 blocks. Gavin Bayreuther will enter the lineup as Gavrikov's replacement Tuesday.
