02/10/2012 20:41 Blue Jackets put Lebda, Methot on injured reserve
The Columbus Blue Jackets placed defensemen Brett Lebda and Marc Methot on injured reserve Friday and added defenseman Dalton Prout and goalie Allen York to the roster on emergency recalls.
Methot has emerged as a reliable stay-at-home defenseman, and actually posted a positive plus/minus last season despite the miserable fortunes of the team around him in Columbus. The Jackets locked him up with a long-term deal, and while he's no fantasy threat he should continue to be a stabilizing presence on the Columbus blue line for a few years yet. (Updated 8/16/11)
