Analysis:

Anisimov left Tuesday's game with what was first reported as an upper-body injury, but now has been confirmed to be a concussion. The one-week timetable is somewhat speculative, as concussions can vary in terms of recovery time. The Blue Jackets are extremely short-handed right now with nine players listed as injured. Six of those are forwards, so the loss of Anisimov will certainly be felt in addition to the rest of the injured Jackets.
