Werenski Day-to-Day with Lower Body Injury After Scoring 14th Goal

Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski is considered day-to-day with a lower-body injury after blocking a shot with his foot in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Ducks. He collapsed in pain and couldn't get off the ice, resulting in a penalty. Fortunately, he didn't suffer any broken bones and might return shortly after the holiday break, though he could miss Monday's game. Werenski scored his 14th goal of the season, tying him for first among NHL defensemen in goals and points (40) in 35 appearances, adding 132 shots and 52 blocked shots.
