James Wisniewski suffers concussion Saturday
James Wisniewski - D - Columbus Blue Jackets
Feb. 2, 2013 - 11:35 PM ET

James Wisniewski suffered a concussion as the result of landing back-first into the boards Saturday night.

Wisniewski, who had a goal in the game, was chasing after the puck with teammate Nick Foligno. The Red Wings' Justin Abdelkader looked to have made contact with Foligno, who then knocked into Wisniewski, causing him to spin around, lose an edge and land hard into the end boards. "It is a concussion," coach Todd Richards said. "Next we'll see where that goes. ... He's moving slow. His back and leg got hurt in the collision."
