Columbus Blue Jackets forward Jack Roslovic is out four-to-six weeks after sustaining a fractured ankle in Sunday's shootout loss against the New York Rangers, the team announced Monday.
Roslovic, 26, is tied for fourth on the Blue Jackets with eight points in 14 games. He played 16:16 on Sunday despite the injury.
With Roslovic placed on injured reserve, Columbus recalled top prospect David Jiricek from the AHL's Cleveland Monsters.
The 19-year-old has played 10 games with the Blue Jackets this season, tallying three points. Jiricek was drafted sixth overall by Columbus in 2022.
The Blue Jackets face the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday.
