Jared Boll To Miss 3-4 Months After Ankle Surgery

May 10, 2014 5:29 AM

Blue Jackets right wing Jared Boll will be sidelined three to four months following surgery to repair a torn tendon in his ankle, club GM Jarmo Kekalainen announced today. The surgery was performed by Dr. Greg Berlet at OhioHealth’s Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Center on Monday.

“Our initial hope was that Jared would be able to return to the lineup with rest and rehabilitation, but it became apparent over the past few days that surgery was the best course of action,” said Kekalainen.
“We’re disappointed for Jared as he has worked very hard and is an important part of our team, but we expect him to make a full recovery and hopefully return to the lineup later this season.”

Boll, 27, has appeared in 21 games this season, scoring one goal and adding 38 penalty minutes. He was placed on Injured Reserve on November 26 retroactive to November 22 when he logged 9:07 of ice time at Vancouver.

Columbus’ fourth pick, 101st overall, in the 2005 NHL Draft, Boll has registered 25-28-53 and 1,001 penalty minutes in 409 career games.

Stamkos Skating Pain-Free Once Again

Oct 31, 2014 9:09 PM

Steven Stamkos can't say his timeline has moved up because there's no specific return date set. But the Lightning forward is back on the ice, which is remarkable considering it's been just more than a month since he broke his tibia on Nov. 11.

Cameras caught him skating before the Lightning took the ice in Saturday practice prior to their loss to the Devils, and that wasn't even the first time he's been on the ice since crashing into the net in Boston. 

"I've been on a couple times," Stamkos told ESPN The Magazine on Sunday.
