Columbus Blue Jackets left wing Kristian Huselius is expected to be sidelined for four-to-six months after tearing his pectoral muscle while lifting weights last weekend.
"It's a tough, tough injury for Kristian," Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson told the Columbus Dispatch. "He was still rehabilitating the hip (surgery in April) but was going to ready to go for training camp. This is a pretty significant setback. We're looking at November at the earliest, and maybe January. It's a pretty serious injury with a long recovery."
Injuries limited Huselius to just 14 goals, nine assists and 10 penalty minutes in 39 games last season. The 32-year-old Swede had played in at least 74 contests in each of his previous eight NHL campaigns.
