Columbus Blue Jackets forward David Clarkson is day to day with a lower-body injury, according to Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Post-Dispatch.
Tests revealed it's not a long-term injury, but it appears likely he'll miss the club's season opener Friday against the New York Rangers.
The 31-year-old, who remains under contract for five seasons at a cap hit of $5.25 million, appeared in only three games for Columbus after being acquired from Toronto last season.
