Jordan Dumais has been arrested last evening for a DUI in Halifax. The club has also suspended the scorer for the final four games of the season and the first postseason game. He has had a shortened season between injury and WJC games, only having 47 points in 21 games this season. He will bounce back. He is on his ELC with the Blue Jackets.

What does this mean for his future?

Tough to say. I don’t see much from it beside a potential trip to the PA Program. He is young enough to recover.
