Blue Jackets head coach Pascal Vincent on the loss of number-one defenseman Zach Werenski to injury (joining Boone Jenner, Patrik Laine, and others on the IR):
We are not in a good position as far as losing those guys, but last year was just unreal. I have never seen anything like it in terms of losing one after another.
What I have learned is that a team can still compete regardless. It is not about the talent. It is about the compete level, especially when we are in that position. I believe that the structure of your team can save or win some games when you are facing that kind of adversity.
