Adam Boqvist Out Six Weeks
2 years agoColumbus Blue Jackets defenseman Adam Boqvist has been ruled out for six weeks with a foot injury. The Swedish rearguard was back in the Blue Jackets lineup on Tuesday against Arizona but was forced to exit the game early after hurting himself whilst blocking a shot. The team has announced that Boqvist broke a bone in his foot. With Nick Blankenburg (upper body) also having dropped out of the lineup this week, Columbus has summoned David Jiricek from the minors. The teenager, who was the sixth pick at this year's draft, has registered four assists in his first five AHL outings. Can he produce straightaway in the NHL as well? We shall see Friday versus Boston.
