1 year agoColumbus Blue Jackets defenseman Jake Bean (groin) is set to make his preseason debut on Wednesday versus Buffalo. The 25-year-old has so far been unavailable due to an abductor strain. Bean has seen some success with the Blue Jackets, but a shoulder issue limited him to only 14 appearances last season. He contributed a goal and five assists. Bean is looking at bottom-pairing minutes in 2023-23, with Columbus having bolstered its blue line with Ivan Provorov and Damon Severson.

2 years agoColumbus Blue Jackets defenseman Jake Bean (groin) is battling an injury, and the team considers him as week-to-week. The Blue Jackets revealed a number of injuries ahead of training camp, and Bean's problem is slated to be the most serious one. According to The Athletic's Aaron Portzline, the 25-year-old suffered an abductor strain in a workout. It's another blow for Bean, who has been troubled by various health issues throughout his NHL career. He was forced to undergo shoulder surgery last season and played only 14 games. With Bean being listed as week-to-week, it's unclear if he can recover in time for Columbus' season opener, which comes on Oct. 12 versus Philadelphia.

2 years agoColumbus Blue Jackets defenseman Jake Bean (shoulder) has been placed on Injured Reserve and will be out indefinitely. The Blue Jackets are cursed with injuries and Bean is the latest player to go down, having hurt his shoulder in Tuesday's win over Philadelphia. Bean has been able to register one goal and five assists in 14 appearances this season. With Zach Werenski (shoulder) also out, Marcus Bjork is now set to quarterback the first power-play unit. The 24-year-old has only recently made his NHL debut, but he's hit the ground running, posting a goal and an assist through his first two career appearances.

2 years agoColumbus Blue Jackets defenseman Jake Bean suffered an upper-body injury in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime victory against the Flyers. He got hurt in the second period, logging only 8:55 in the game. With a number of other injuries hitting Columbus' blue line, Bean had started to play a massive role lately, which included minutes on the first power-play unit. If Bean is now forced to miss significant time, Vladislav Gavrikov, who had a goal and an assist Tuesday, receives a further boost, and Marcus Bjork is looking like an interesting option as well. The 24-year-old rookie has started his career with points in both of his first two appearances, and he appears set for a promotion from the second power-play unit to the first if Bean is unavailable.
