Aaron Portzline of The Athletic: Columbus Blue Jackets forward Josh Anderson had surgery on March 2nd to repair a labral tear and was expected to be out for four to six months.
That recovery timeline would put a potential Anderson between early July and September. A source said earlier this week likely wouldn’t be able to return for the playoffs. The source added that his rehab is going well, but
“I would not expect him to be ready to play until after September, as recommended.”
It would take a first-round win against the Maple Leafs to Anderson to a potential shot at returning.
