#CBJ D Marc Methot (fractured thumb) is expected to join Blue Jackets for practice on Tuesday. He's missed three games.
When Methot does return, he probably brings John Moore or Aaron Johnson out of the lineup. The two-way defender likely needs another week to get back in a game.
#CBJ D Marc Methot (broken thumb) could join the club this weekend.
Methot should get back on the ice relatively soon but could take some time to get back into game shape as his thumb dictates most of his puckwork. Stay tuned for a follow-up on his status.
The cringe-inducing aftermath of Marc Methot’s “exploded” thumb was sheathed in plastic and wrapped up tight this morning. Methot joined injured forwards Kristian Huselius and Jared Boll for a skate in the Ice Haus while their teammates practiced in the big room. Methot cannot yet wear a glove on his injured hand because of the infection risk but might return this weekend. “Some of the flesh is coming out around the stitches” Methot said. “It’s not very pretty to look at. When I’m at home, I let it air out.”
