The Columbus Blue Jackets are going to be without the services of Markus Nutivaara for at least one game. The injury he sustained against Vancouver on Saturday afternoon have him “day-to-day” for the time being according to John Tortorella.
The injury comes at a bad time for Nuti who was playing the best hockey of his NHL career. He had scored five points in the seven games before his injury. Teamed with Ryan Murray, the duo were playing like top four defenseman and were a big reason for the Jackets turnaround.
But with the young Finn sidelined the Columbus Blue Jackets have elected to replace Nuti with Jack Johnson.
