Columbus Blue Jackets' defenseman Zach Werenski suffered a lower-body injury during a game against the New Jersey Devils. He was unable to walk off the ice on his own and had to be assisted by medical staff. The team's head coach, Pascal Vincent, stated that Werenski would meet with team doctors for further evaluation. Werenski's absence due to the injury was expected to be 'week to week,' potentially leading to a bigger role for rookie David Jiricek. The team faced a setback as they lost Werenski and also experienced a loss in the game against the Devils. Additionally, updates were provided on other injured players, including Sean Kuraly and Jack Roslovic, who were both unable to participate in practice due to their respective injuries.

Adam Bares makes it 2-1 Czechia on a broken play off of a blocked shot. Matyas Sapovaliv (VGK) with a nice job of getting him the puck and Bares buried it. USA trails for the first time at the WJC.

Merzlikins starts tonight vs #LeafsForever and Martin backs up. Roslovic returns to the lineup on the fourth line RW with Texier and Gaunce. Olivier comes out. Roslovic will also have a PK role with Jenner and Kuraly out.

A new piece I made yesterday + a private process video https://t.co/SnZ4s3WGUS
I think Jiricek should get a bigger role to help his development. Hope Zach recovers safely and can get back in the lineup for #CBJ. He’s definitely a guy they don’t want out of the lineup for a long period of time. https://t.co/IIZVdejdqK
The Athletic: #CBJ expect top defenseman Zach Werenski to be out of lineup “week to week” with lower-body injury. Another bad break for Werenski, but could it mean a bigger role for rookie David Jiricek? https://t.co/ZomffDfYXv
Hoping for the best for Zach. Hope it’s not too long and he can be back sooner than later #CBJ https://t.co/PK3jKfCS0D
"He's still being evaluated... it's not going to be day-to-day." Paz provides an update on Werenski and speaks to the next-man-up mentality in today's media availability: 🎥 https://t.co/oGH9pUXP9Z #CBJ https://t.co/2S5NlLDA1Q
Roslovic is practicing today. Kuraly (abdominal injury) and Werenski (lower body) are not. #CBJ
#CBJ practice begins with just the six healthy D on the ice. No Werenski, as expected.
#CBJ getting ready to start practice at Nationwide. As expected, no Zach Werenski or Sean Kuraly on the ice. Jack Roslovic -- who Vincent said should return this weekend -- skating again. Has a white stick, too -- I'm guessing the new Bauer that Marchy tried previously.
During #NJDevils drills today - and keeping in mind Ondrej Palat is not on the ice - here’s how the team is rolling: Again, keep in mind no Palat (maintenance day) and parts will likely change tomorrow: https://t.co/aGG3RZS8Gl
New day. #CBJ practices at noon. Watch this space for updates on Werenski and anything else that’s newsworthy. https://t.co/E0mI7y4v0E
The Athletic: #CBJ lose Zach Werenski to injury, blow two third-period leads in overtime loss to #NJDevils. Blue Jackets have lost eight games in which they had a third-period lead. Coach Pascal Vincent: “It’s disappointing, but the effort was perfect.” https://t.co/UqLXSn9rm2

You absolutely hate to see it, unreal. Werenski can’t catch a break. Werenski in pain and he heads down the tunnel.

Werenski going off and needs assistance to the room, can't put weight on one of his legs. Was hard to tell which he was favoring from this high up ... maybe left. Went down awkwardly after breaking up a play in the defensive zone. That doesn't look good at all. #CBJ
Zach Werenski is hurt. Couldn't walk down the tunnel on his own as he was helped off by #CBJ medical staff.
