Nikita Nikitin - D - Columbus Blue Jackets
March 3, 2013 - 5:50 PM ET
Nikita Nikitin suffered an upper-body injury and didn't return to the Columbus Blue Jackets' eventual 2-1 OT win against the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday.
Nikitin joins the Blue Jackets' swelling list of injured defensemen that includes Jack Johnson, James Wisniewski and John Moore. While Nikitin has limited fantasy value, it's another blow for Steve Mason and Sergei Bobrovsky.
