Blue Jackets forward Rick Nash suffered a high ankle sprain Wednesday after hitting the boards feet-first during a scrimmage and will sidelined two to three weeks.
Nash, who tied Atlanta Thrashers forward Ilya Kovalchuk for the NHL lead in goals two years ago, was helped from the ice and taken to Grant Medical Center, where X-rays revealed no broken bones.
''The test results came out as good as can be expected and he'll be back in 2-3 weeks,'' said Blue Jackets spokesperson Todd Sharrock.
Nash, who had 41 goals in 2003-04, re-signed with Columbus in August, agreeing to a five-year, $27 million US contract. The 21-year-old left wing was a restricted free agent. He was the first overall pick of the 2002 draft.
In 2003, Nash had 17 goals and 39 points. He played with Davos of the Swiss league during the NHL lockout last year, finishing with 27 goals and 47 points.Sounds painful. Didn't a couple players do the same thing a couple seasons ago; the feet first into the boards during a game part?
Sprains can take a long time to heal, I hope the 2 - 3 weeks is true.
