More NHL: | | | | | It didn't look like it would be good news for the when goaltender had to be helped off the ice in the third period of Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Lightning in Columbus after making a nice glove save.Unfortunately for the Jackets it was about as bad as it looked. Bobrovsky suffered a groin strain and is going to be on the shelf for at least a month. Sergei Bobrovsky has a groin strain. Out 4-5 weeks. Aaron Portzline (@Aportzline) Talk about Tyler Barnes Jersey a big blow for the Jackets. Last season Bobrovsky was almost their whole team in the latter few weeks when the Jackets climbed out of the depths of the cellar and tied for the final playoff spot in the West but mi sed out in tie-breakers. Bobrovsky played every game and played well, winning the Vezina Trophy as the league's most outstanding goaltender. Now without Bobrovsky the Blue Jackets are going to turn to the duo of and Mike McKenna, who was just recalled by the Jackets on Wednesday. No disrespect to them, but that's quite a ways from having a Vezina winner.The Blue Jackets are already struggling as it is this seaosn, having Bobrovsky out won't help them try to repeat last season's climb out of the cellar, at least for the meantime.Bobrovsky hasn't been able to replicate last season's unreal numbers but has been OK with a 10-11-2 record, .909 save percentage and 2.72 GAA. As for the Olympics, Ru sia will be in a similar situation as the USA with Jonathan Quick, who also suffered a groin strain. But if Bobrovsky is back in five weeks that would give him a couple of weeks to prepare for the Games in his native Ru sia and he would likely be able to play alongside for the national team.
