The Columbus Blue Jackets shared more information about Brandon Dubinsky’s health, and they even specified that his “upper-body injury” is actually elbow-related.

The Blue Jackets revealed that Dubinsky is expected to miss about two-to-three weeks with that injury; he’s been placed on injured reserve.

After beating the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday, they turn around and face the Arizona Coyotes tonight. Dalton Prout will be a healthy scratch while Kerby Rychel gets a chance to make an impression on John Tortorella.

He won’t need to worry about prior baggage, either.
