Blue Jackets' Nick Foligno: Out Friday

Foligno won't be in the lineup for Friday's matchup with Detroit due to an illness, Aaron Portzline of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

Analysis:

It's a huge loss for Columbus and fantasy owners alike, as Foligno has been fantastic this season, racking up 22 points (10 goals, 12 assists) in 24 games. With the Blue Jackets captain unavailable Friday, recent recall Oliver Bjorkstrand will slot into the lineup against the Red Wings. Columbus should provide another update on Foligno's status ahead of Saturday's game against the Islanders.
