Blue Jackets’ Huselius To IR, Picard Called Up

COLUMBUS, Ohio—The Columbus Blue Jackets have placed forward Kristian Huselius on injured reserve retroactive to Tuesday and added forward Alexandre Picard to the roster on emergency recall from the club’s American Hockey League affiliate in Syracuse.

General manager Scott Howson announced the moves on Thursday.

Huselius was injured in practice on Tuesday and will be sidelined at least one week. His arm was in a sling during the Blue Jackets’ shootout loss to San Jose on Wednesday night. In 13 games this season, he has five goals and four assists. Last year he ranked second on the club in scoring with 21 goals and 35 assists.

The 24-year-old Picard, Syracuse’s leading goal-scorer with five, has two assists in 58 career NHL games.
