The Columbus Blue Jackets announced today that defenseman Zach Werenski will miss the remainder of the regular season with a torn labrum and separated shoulder. The injury was suffered during last night's game against Philadelphia after an awkward collision.

In addition to Werenski, Columbus placed defenseman Nick Blankenburg (fractured ankle), center Sean Kuraly (upper-body, day-to-day), and forward Jakub Voracek (upper-body, indefinitely) on injured reserve.
In a corresponding move, the Blue Jackets recalled defensemen Gavin Bayreuther, Marcus Bjork, and David Jiricek from the AHL on emergency basis.
Currently dead last in the NHL - tied with St. Louis, the Blue Jackets were tanking before these injuries. Hard to define what is going to happen from here on out.
