Werenski (lower body) has been placed on IR and remains day-to-day.

Werenski was not on the ice for Saturday's practice and remains day-to-day with the lower-body injury that he suffered last Saturday. He will not play on Sunday vs. the Islanders, which makes him questionable heading into next week when the Blue Jackets have four games on tap. He was placed on Injured Reserve retroactive to December 20th, so he is eligible to return to the lineup at any time.

Werenski (lower-body) is out vs. Anaheim on Monday and is considered day-to-day.

Werenski was in severe difficulty exiting the ice in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Anaheim Ducks due to a lower-body injury. The 28-year-old defenseman will not play on Monday, but his prognosis is positive, and he is expected to only be sidelined on a day-to-day basis. Werenski is having another elite season from the blueline, with 40 points (14G / 26A) in 35 games. He played 81 games last season, but has faced injury trouble over the course of his career, so there is always extra concern whenever an injury arises.
