Scores Goal Before Exiting With Upper-Body Injury

Damon Severson experienced a rollercoaster night on Thursday, scoring the lone goal for the Columbus Blue Jackets before exiting the game against the Montreal Canadiens with an upper-body injury. Severson left the contest and did not return, with the team providing no immediate update on his status afterward. His absence would be a significant loss for the Blue Jackets' defensive corps, as Severson has been a primary contributor on both ends of the ice throughout the season.
