Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Seth Jones will be out four-to-six weeks due to a sprained knee suffered in Tuesday night's preseason game against the Buffalo Sabres, the Blue Jackets announced Wednesday.
Jones was hurt in the second period of the contest.
The talented blue-liner underwent an MRI on Wednesday that revealed a second-degree sprain of his MCL.
Jones, who turns 24 on Oct. 3, racked up 57 points in 78 games last season.
