Gudbranson's upper-body injury was described as "not looking good" by head coach Dean Evason, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.
Evason's comments after Tuesday's game versus the Panthers suggests the defenseman is set to miss time. With Gudbranson likely coming out of the lineup, David Jiricek could step into a third-pairing role.
