Blue Jackets' Zach Werenski: Leaves late after shot block
Zach Werenski sustained an apparent lower-body injury on a blocked shot in Saturday's game versus the Ducks, and there was no update on his status after the contest, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.Werenski had to crawl off the ice and needed assistance getting to the locker room, so there is at least moderate concern with this injury.
