Report: Blue Jackets’ Kuraly resting at home after going to hospital

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Sean Kuraly is back home after going to hospital for tests to evaluate an abdominal injury during Saturday’s game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reported Sunday.

Per a Blue Jackets spokesperson, Kuraly underwent tests at Grant Medical Center that came back negative and was not admitted.

There is no timeline on how long Kuraly will be out.

In the final minute of the first period Saturday, Kuraly was awkwardly sandwiched between Maple Leafs’ Jake McCabe and Auston Matthews. As Kuraly was rising to his feet, he appeared to get hit in the chest with a puck.

Kuraly was able to skate to the bench on his own, but play was blown dead and paramedics were immediately called as he laboured down the tunnel. With 18 seconds left in the first, the league opted to suspend play.
