Vladislav Gavrikov Out On Tuesday
2 years agoColumbus Blue Jackets defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov will miss Tuesday's matchup against Tampa Bay with an upper-body injury. He will be replaced in the lineup by Adam Boqvist, who has been a healthy scratch for the last two games. Gavrikov has played a huge part in the Blue Jackets defense, logging at least 22 minutes of ice time four times over the last five contests, but he hasn't had a lot of offensive success, posting only two goals and seven assists for the season. Boqvist boasts only two assists through nine appearances in 2022-23, but he has some offensive upside and will also skate with the second power-play unit Tuesday.
