Blue Jackets lose Monahan, Voronkov to injuries

Columbus Blue Jackets center Sean Monahan left Friday’s 5-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres with a lower-body injury after blocking a shot late in the second period and was ruled out for the rest of the game. He had an assist, three blocked shots and 11:06 of ice time before leaving. Forward Dmitri Voronkov also exited with an apparent upper-body injury in the third period and did not return. Coach Rick Bowness said both players were still being evaluated; Columbus next plays Tuesday at home against the Florida Panthers.
