COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Columbus Blue Jackets have lost one of their most valuable defencemen with Zach Werenski being placed on injured reserve Saturday.
The 23-year-old All Star suffered an unspecified lower body injury in Thursday’s win over Dallas and is expected to miss at least a week.
Werenski limped off the ice and headed for the locker room late in the Dallas game. Paired with Seth Jones on the top defensive line, he has a goal and three assists in 12 games.
Columbus recalled forward Liam Foudy from the taxi squad to take Werenski's spot on the roster.
The Blue Jackets open a back-to-back with Carolina on Sunday afternoon.
