The Columbus Blue Jackets will have to wait a little longer to get a good look at Sonny Milano.
Milano was forced to leave Friday's Traverse City Prospects Tournament game between Columbus and the Minnesota Wild after being pushed face-first into the boards during the first period. Blue Jackets president John Davidson confirmed Milano would miss the rest of the tournament on Saturday.
"It’s a very minor, small fracture which is good news," Davidson told BlueJackets.com. "There is no surgery required for him. When you think of a time frame, it’s really hard to tell. He will miss a little bit of time, but not a lot of time - it all depends on how it heals."
Milano will remain with the team and travel back to Columbus after the tournament to be assessed by team doctors.
"He’s out of the tournament and we don’t know anything beyond that," Davidson said. "I don’t want to jump to any conclusions because we just don’t know. He’ll stay with us here but he won’t be playing."
