Injury Notebook: Zajac, Henrique, Bobrovsky, Hamhuis on IR

"The Neutral Zone" Roster Report

Zajac, Henrique on IR, Blandisi Called Up:
New Jersey Devils center Travis Zajac has been placed on injured reserve with an upper-body injury.

The move is retroactive to Dec. 3, when Zajac was initially hurt against the Carolina Hurricanes. The Devils recalled forward Joseph Blandisi from the American Hockey League.

Blandisi, selected in the sixth round (No. 162) of the 2012 NHL Draft by the Colorado Avalanche and signed by the Devils as a free agent in January, has seven goals and 16 points in 18 games with the Albany Devils.

In addition to Zajac, the Devils could also be without top-line center Adam Henrique when they face the Detroit Red Wings at Prudential Center on Friday. Henrique, who leads the team with 13 goals, sustained a lower-body injury in the second period of a shootout loss at the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday.

The Devils have yet to update the status of Henrique

Bobrovsky out 3 weeks:
Columbus Blue Jackets goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, who will be out three weeks with a lower-body injury, was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

Bobrovsky left the game Tuesday against the Los Angeles Kings with 5:35 remaining in the third period after making 33 saves on 34 shots.

Backup Curtis McElhinney made five saves before allowing Jeff Carter's tying goal with 1:27 left in the third and Alec Martinez's game-winner with 27 seconds left in overtime of a 3-2 loss.

"Curtis has been very good, and now he gets his chance again," Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen told The Columbus Dispatch. "Now we're going to have to find other ways to win hockey games. Bobrovsky has been keeping us in games, being the Bob we all know and love."

Bobrovsky is 11-12-1 with a 2.52 goals-against average and .916 save percentage and one shutout, but was 9-4-1 with a 1.71 GAA and a .943 save percentage since Nov. 1 prior to his ninth consecutive start Tuesday. He has allowed two or fewer goals in 11 of 12 games, including seven in a row.

Hamhuis takes puck to the face against Rangers:
Vancouver Canucks defenseman Dan Hamhuis left a 2-1 win against the New York Rangers on Wednesday and was hospitalized after being hit in the face by a puck.

Hamhuis was helped off the ice at 12:27 of the third period after being hit by a shot by New York defenseman Dan Boyle. Hamhuis went to the locker room, didn't return to the game, and left Rogers Arena in an ambulance.

"Hamhuis lost some teeth and probably broke his jaw," Canucks coach Willie Desjardins said. "His wife was with him when he left; he'll spend the night in the hospital."
