Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky will not be with the team for tonight's game vs. the Nashville Predators, club General Manager Jarmo Kekalainen announced today.
"There are certain expectations and values that we have established for our players that define our culture," said Kekalainen. "An incident occurred in which Sergei failed to meet those expectations and values, so we made the decision that he would not be with the team for tonight's game. This is an internal matter and we will have no further comment at this time."

Bobrovsky, 30, is 18-13-1 with a 2.87 goals-against average (GAA), .906 save percentage (SV%) and two shutouts in 32 games this season and has compiled a 236-142-37 mark, 2.47 GAA, .919 SV% and 26 shutouts in 427 career NHL games. In 344 games as a Blue Jacket, he is 194-119-27 with a 2.42 GAA, .921 SV% and 26 shutouts.
