COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Columbus Blue Jackets placed Adam Boqvist on injured reserve on Wednesday after he suffered a broken foot.
The 22-year-old defenseman broke his foot during Tuesday night's game against the Arizona Coyotes at Nationwide Arena. He is expected to miss six weeks.
Boqvist, a native of Sweden, has scored 17 goals and 34 assists with the Blue Jackets and the Chicago Blackhawks since being drafted in 2018. He was traded to Columbus in July 2021 and set career highs with 11 goals and 11 assists.
The club recalled defenseman David Jiricek from the Cleveland Monsters, according to General Manager and Alternate Governor Jarma Kekalainen. Jiricek has notched two assists with the AHL club this season.
