Chris Johnston: Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Adam Boqvist broke his foot Tuesday night and will be out for six weeks.

  • Kyle Bukauskas: Coach DJ Smith isn’t confident that Norris play again this season.
  • Bruce Garrioch: Norris’ shoulder injury is different from his previous shoulder injury but it could be three months or more and coach DJ Smith said it would be a bonus if they got him back.

Vancouver Canucks: Forwards Curtis Lazar and Brock Boeser were put on the IR.
