Blue Jackets' Seth Jones: Out with hairline fracture

Jones will miss the next three weeks due to a hairline fracture in his foot and was placed on injured reserve Monday.

Analysis:

Replacing Jones will be nearly impossible for the Blue Jackets and fantasy owners alike, especially considering he leads the team in ice time with an average of 24:14, which includes 1:26 on the power play and 3:04 on the penalty kill. The defenseman is coming off a career year in which he snagged 31 points in 81 contests split between Columbus and Nashville and was on pace to put up similar numbers this season. Look for Jack Johnson and Zach Werenski to see increased minutes for the duration of Jones' injury.
