COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Blue Jackets placed All-Star defenseman Zach Werenski on injured reserve.
The move is retroactive to Dec. 20.
Werenski, second in the league among defensemen in goals (14) and points (40), is considered day-to-day by Columbus after suffering a lower-body injury late during the Dec. 20 game at the Anaheim Ducks. He is also second among all players in ice time, averaging 26:48 per game.
Forward Mathieu Olivier was activated off injured reserve after missing 13 games with an upper-body injury that happened at Washington on Nov. 24. He has three goals and nine points in 23 games this season.
