The Columbus Blue Jackets, already struggling as one of the league's bottom teams, received unfortunate news regarding their rookie forward Adam Fantilli.
Last night, during a game against the Seattle Kraken, Fantilli had to exit early due to an apparent injury, and it has now been confirmed that he suffered a skate laceration on his leg.
Fantilli, a key contributor to the Blue Jackets' offense, has tallied 12 goals and 27 points in 49 games this season. His absence will pose a challenge for the team, already in a rebuilding phase, as they navigate the remainder of the season.
