Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Cody Goloubef suffered a fractured jaw in Friday night's game against the Nashville Predators.
Goloubef left the contest and didn't return after taking a Colin Wilson shot to the face.
The blue-liner was taken to a local hospital for further treatment after exiting the contest in the first period.
The Blue Jackets were down to four defensemen after losing Goloubef and Fedor Tyutin to injuries in the opening frame.
