2021 Player Review: Seth Jones is still one of the most important Blue Jackets

The season was 2019-2020. A disproportionate number of Columbus Blue Jackets were dropping like flies with injuries. The Cleveland Monsters were riding the I-71 express to fully ice our NHL team. New faces and expectations were both unfamiliar and uncertain. Yet, the Blue Jackets kept winning. And winning. That was, until Seth Jones fractured his foot while crashing the net during the first period against the Colorado Avalanche on Feb 11, 2020. Sure, Jones would continue to play for a game total of 23 minutes and score the team’s only goal in the second period with a broken foot, but he would not return to the line-up for the final 14 games of the season.
