Details For Tonight's Panthers @ Blue Jackets Game AND Jake Bean Update- 1/31/22
Carlsson is set to take Bean's place in the defenseman lineup. Given the news we now know, regarding his injury, this could be the case for awhile if Carlsson does well. Regarding Bean, we finally have news about his injury situation. It isn't great, but could certainly be worse. According to Jeff Svoboda, we can expect to see him out for the next month. This time out will be to heal a groin strain. I wish him the best, because that sounds truly painful.
The only other lineup change is that Brad Larson will rest Korpisalo tonight, meaning Merzlikins will protect the Blue Jackets goal. I think this is a good move, maybe he can shake off the last meeting between the Panthers, and gain some redemption, tonight. It will be different, as the Panthers must now perform on the road against us, rather than at home. We'll see if they can at 7:00 PM EST
