Nikita Filatov will take the ice tomorrow night against the Buffalo Sabres. It should be a good game, it’s always loud when the Sabres are in town. And we are icing a team with mostly regulars. Here’s the lineup for tomorrow night:

And so it begins

The Blue Jackets have a tendency to lose players due to injury more often than not. Derick Brassard is not an exception to that, the young center who was destined to play with Nash and Huselius, is suffering from flu like symptoms. But, according to Puck-Rakers it could be code for something else, like a concussion. Not good news. Let’s hope it really is flu like symptoms and not a concussion.
Also, Maksim Mayorov is being assigned to Syracuse. The Syracuse Crunch start their practices today.
The Blue Jackets will be battling with the Buffalo Sabres tomorrow night at home, and it is possible that Filatov will make his debut, if not tomorrow then definitely Friday. More later.

Big win, with a huge loss

The Blue Jackets crushed the Rockford Icehogs Chicago Blackhawks last night. The Jackets scored seven goals on the Blackhawks newest number one goaltender, Cristobal Huet, while the Hawks only managed to score one against Pascal Leclaire. The night sounds pretty good doesn’t it? It wasn’t without its faults though, Raffi Torres decided to drop the gloves with Ben Eager. Torres went down and separated his shoulder, he is expected to be out six weeks. This is not good news for the Blue Jackets, although it does allow for one of our prospects to take his place, yes, including Filatov, who is able to play nine games before being sent down to the minors. But, before we get into that, let’s get into the game.

Wait, what did I miss?

Oh yeah, everything. So, let’s start from the beginning. There was some HUGE news in Jackets land on Tuesday, when it came out that goaltending prospect Steve Mason was having yet another surgery and is expected to be out another four to six weeks. Mason had damaged cartilage removed from his left knee.
“Steve is very disappointed,” Howson said. “He is an ambitious young man and he’s a talented young man. He was coming here to make the team. We just want to get him healthy and ready to play again.”
If this injury sounds familiar, it should. Leclaire went through the same thing in the 2005-2006 season.
Now, onto the preseason games.

Peca Out

Michael Peca will be missing the beginning of camp, according to the Dispatch. He is suffering from bronchitis, and the doctors don’t want to take a chance on it turning into pneumonia. This isn’t exactly an ideal situation for the Jackets, but it is something that we will have to suffer through. No word on how long he will be out.
Onto happier news, and yes, there is some.
