The Columbus Blue Jackets have placed star forward Patrik Laine on injured reserve retroactive to Oct. 20 with an upper-body injury, the team announced Monday.
The club has recalled forward Dmitri Voronkov from AHL Cleveland to take his spot.
The Blue Jackets say Laine is day to day.
Laine was hurt late in last Friday's game against the Calgary Flames when he was hit by defenceman Rasmus Andersson.
Andersson was later suspended four games for charging. He is appealing the suspension.
Laine had 22 goals and 30 assists for 52 points in 55 games with the Blue Jackets last season.
He was picked second overall by the Winnipeg Jets in the 2016 NHL Draft.
Voronkov has not played an NHL game.
