Gudbranson (upper body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Panthers.

Gudbranson collided with a teammate late in the second period, and he'll miss the rest of the game. The 32-year-old defenseman can be considered day-to-day until a further update is available. The Blue Jackets' next game is Thursday versus the Sabres, and if Gudbranson can't play, David Jiricek may be a candidate to take his place in the lineup.
