Brassard suffers shoulder injury
The Hockey Herald —
via Puck-Raters:
Blue Jackets center Derick Brassard suffered a shoulder injury in his first period fight with Stars winger James Neal. He told reporters in Dallas that the shoulder is separated, and he’ll miss three to four weeks.
This is a huge blow to the Blue Jackets, as Brassard is their only skilled center. He scored his 10th goal of the season only five minutes before the fight.
