Boone Jenner is expected to be out six weeks for the Columbus Blue Jackets because of a fractured jaw.
The center, who was placed on injured reserve Saturday, exited at 12:09 of the second period and did not return after taking a puck to the face from teammate Ivan Provorov in a 5-2 win against the St. Louis Blues on Friday.
Jenner, the Blue Jackets captain, is second on the team in points (18) behind defenseman Zach Werenski (20), and first with 13 goals.
Columbus (9-16-5), which has lost four of five (1-3-1), is in last place in the Metropolitan Division.
