Columbus Blue Jackets captain Nick Foligno is expected to miss one to two weeks with a lower-body injury suffered in Sunday’s loss to Pittsburgh, the team announced.
Foligno recorded 13 goals and 13 assists in 59 appearances prior to the injury, and could miss as many as seven games if out for the full two weeks.
The Blue Jackets sit seventh in the Metropolitan Division but are only a point out of a wild-card playoff spot.
