Breaking: Star defenseman has suffered a fractured foot, will miss weeks of action.

With his team in the middle of a hot streak this couldn't come at a worse time.

According to an official report from the Columbus Blue Jackets, defenseman Seth Jones will miss significant time as a result of an injury.

From the official release:

The Columbus Blue Jackets have placed defenseman Seth Jones on Injured Reserve, club General Manager Jarmo Kekalainen announced today. He is expected to miss three weeks after suffering a hairline fracture of his foot in Saturday's contest at St. Louis.

After a rough start to the season the Blue Jackets have recorded a 5-1-2 record over their last eight games, and the loss of the former 4th overall pick will undoubtedly hurt them for the duration of his recovery.

No word yet on who Columbus plans to call up to deal with this new development.
