Blue Jackets' Damon Severson Sidelined for Six Weeks

The team's losing streak continues as they face the Blackhawks without their key defenseman.

Damon Severson, defenseman for the Columbus Blue Jackets, is expected to be out for six weeks due to an oblique injury.
The injury occurred during a game against Philadelphia, leading to Severson's exit from the game.
The Blue Jackets are currently on a nine-game losing streak, having lost the lead in seven of those games.
Severson has been playing nearly 21 minutes a game for the Blue Jackets and has scored eight points in 19 games.
In roster changes, the Blue Jackets have sent Trey Fix-Wolansky to the American Hockey League’s Cleveland Monsters.
