Columbus Blue Jackets’ starter Sergei Bobrovsky left tonight’s game in Winnipeg near the midway mark of the second period with an apparent right leg injury.
You can see the play here:
Bobrovsky was putting no weight on his right leg. Did splits, right leg did not move. #CBJ

Hate to speculate but.... Bobrovsky injury appears to be to groin or right side of lower body. Seems likely he'll miss #NHLAllstar. #CBJ

Bobrovsky allowed three goals on 12 shots and has been replaced by Curtis McElhinney.
The 26-year-old, who signed a new four-year, $29.7 million contract extension earlier this month, is 16-14-2 this season to go along with a 2.80 G.A.A. and a .915 save percentage.
Bobrovsky missed time earlier this season due to a fractured finger.
