"Blue Jackets defenseman Brett Lebda could miss multiple weeks because of a thumb injury suffered on Friday in a 3-2 overtime victory at Anaheim.

Lebda, who left the game in the first period and did not return, said he "broke the tip off" of his right thumb when he was hit by a puck. He will undergo a procedure to repair the thumb today and said he will miss "maybe a few weeks."

"We'll see how it goes," Lebda said. "Hopefully it's not too long. There is no joint damage or nerve damage. It's just the tip, so it should be a quick heal. After that, it's just dealing with the pain and swelling.""
