Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Damon Severson is expected to be out six weeks after suffering an oblique injury in the struggling team's latest loss. General manager Jarmo Kekalainen announced Severson's prognosis Tuesday that will likely keep the 29-year-old out until after the New Year. Severson dived to try to keep the puck in the offensive zone on a play in the second period Sunday at Philadelphia before the Blue Jackets gave up a short-handed goal.

Lucic was released on personal recognizance bail and has a pre-trail hearing scheduled for Jan. 19.
