Columbus’ Calvert to undergo abdominal surgery, out indefinitely

mattcalvertgetty

The Columbus Blue Jackets will be without winger Matt Calvert for an “extended” amount of time because of abdominal surgery, according to the Columbus Dispatch’s Aaron Portzline.

The team will reportedly have a better idea about the 23-year-old’s window of recovery once surgery is completed on Tuesday, but they placed him on the injured reserve anyway.

Calvert is more of a streaky scorer than a reliable producer, but Portzline explains that the team will miss his “righteous wheels.” (That might have to be his nickname.)

While that’s a great description, these two goal videos - both from a hot run in March - might do the best job of capturing what he can bring to the ice on his best nights.

Yes, that second one is especially impressive.
