Surgery on Shoulder of Columbus Blue Jackets' Captain Boone Jenner
The captain of the Columbus Blue Jackets, Boone Jenner, underwent surgery on his shoulder to fix an injury he sustained during practice last week.
The procedure took place on Wednesday at The Steadman Clinic in Vail, Colo., as confirmed by the team on Thursday, just before their season opener against the Minnesota Wild.
\"He will begin his rehabilitation soon and we hope he can come back before the season ends,\" stated Don Waddell, the general manager of the Blue Jackets. \"His absence will be felt by our team, but we have a strong group of leaders and other players will have the opportunity to take on bigger roles both on and off the ice.\"
