Blue Jackets' Foligno out 2-4 weeks with lower-body injury

Columbus Blue Jackets forward and captain Nick Foligno is expected to miss two-to-four weeks after suffering a lower-body injury late in Saturday's game against the St. Louis Blues, general manager Jarmo Kekalainen announced Monday.

Foligno has scored 15 goals and added 18 assists in 72 games for a Blue Jackets team that currently holds third place in the Metropolitan Division, but has not yet clinched a postseason berth.

The playoffs will begin April 11, meaning Foligno may not be able to suit up until later in the first round, depending on where his recovery falls on the expected timeline.
