Columbus Blue Jackets center Isac Lundeström is dealing with a bone injury that could sideline him for an extended period. The team is awaiting test results from Sweden to determine the timeline. One scenario points to a November return while another indicates a longer recovery.
The injury involves possible damage to the Achilles tendon area. General manager Don Waddell stated that test results could clarify whether Lundeström returns by November or faces a more prolonged absence.
Lundeström described the setback in personal terms. He told NSD that it felt like a nightmare and that he has felt both sad and angry.
Lundeström joined the Blue Jackets ahead of the current season after several years in the Anaheim Ducks organization. The Athletic reporter Aaron Portzline first shared details of the situation.
