Werenski Suffers Lower-Body Injury After Blocking Shot vs. Ducks

Zach Werenski sustained an apparent lower-body injury after blocking a shot in Saturday's game against the Ducks, with no immediate update on his status. He had to crawl off the ice and needed assistance to the locker room, indicating moderate concern. Prior to the injury, Werenski recorded a goal and an assist, extending his point streak to five games (5 goals, 5 assists). His availability for Monday's game versus the Kings is uncertain, pending further evaluation, and any absence would significantly impact the Blue Jackets' defense.
