During a game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Columbus Blue Jackets, Ryan Reaves and Patrik Laine suffered injuries. Reaves slammed into the boards and appeared in rough shape, while Laine was tripped and slid into the boards, resulting in a fractured clavicle. Laine will miss six weeks due to the injury. Reaves is expected to be out for a while. Both players received medical attention and did not return to the game. The game also saw penalties for roughing and tripping, leading to 4-on-4 hockey. Laine's absence from the game was confirmed, and it was later announced that he would not return due to an upper body injury. The injuries are adding to the mounting list of casualties for the Blue Jackets.

INJURY UPDATE: Blue Jackets F Patrik Laine (upper body injury) will not return to tonight’s game at Toronto. #CBJ
Laine to the locker room. Sillinger picked up a minor for roughing after standing up for Laine after the hit. 4-on-4 hockey. #CBJ
Sillinger gets 2 mins for roughing and Lagesson gets 2 for tripping. Vincent appeared to be arguing that it should've been a slew foot on Lagesson, but to no avail. #CBJ
Leafs defenseman William Lagesson took out Laine's feet and he slid into the boards shoulder first. It is a tripping penalty on Lagesson. Cole Sillinger went after him for a bit of a scrum, which means we'll skate 4-on-4.
#CBJ Sillinger confronted Lagesson after the awkward wipeout with Laine. Lagesson and Sillinger are both going off for minor penalties at 6:48 of the second.
Laine to room clutching left shoulder after Lagesson takes him down. #Leafs
Laine goes down hard and goes shoulder first in to the boards. Laine is still down on the ice. #CBJ
This doesn't look good for Patrik Laine. He's finally up now and going right to the room. I think he's favoring his shoulder. #CBJ
#CBJ Laine is down on the ice and in pain, holding his left shoulder after an awkward wipeout with a #leafsForever player and a slam into the end boards. Trainers now attending.
Patrik Laine in some major discomfort after taking a hit that I think is an interference penalty on the Leafs. He can't get up. Trainer Mike Vogt in to check on him. #CBJ
Laine's down #CBJ
#LeafsForever Reaves just checked himself into the glass and came away from it in rough shape. He's down on the ice being attended by trainer.
Toronto's Ryan Reaves just slammed into the boards awkwardly and struggles to get up. He's headed to the room. Got his skate caught, which led to that. Didn't look good for him.
