Blue Jackets PR: Columbus Blue Jackets forward Alexandre Texier left last night’s game with a lower-body injury.

  • Aaron Portzline: Texier fell awkwardly after getting tangled up with Chris Stewart on a face-off. It looked like he had a right leg injury.

Dana Wakiji: Detroit Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said that forward Adam Erne likely isn’t ready to return today, but Tuesday is a possibility.

Forward Justin Abdelkader didn’t skate yesterday so he’s likely not ready for today.
