3 years agoColumbus Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski (upper body) is sidelined for Tuesday's action against the Islanders. He got hurt early in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to Minnesota and hasn't been practicing with the team Werenski is currently considered day-to-day. Columbus loses its highest-scoring defenseman and a guy who averages 25:56 of ice time. He'll be replaced in the lineup by Adam Boqvist, who has only just returned from an upper-body injury himself. He's notched 20 points in 41 appearances this season, and we should see plenty of the Swede on Tuesday, with Boqvist slated to skate on the top defensive pairing and the first power-play unit.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
