Blue Jackets' Artemi Panarin: Suffers neck strain

Panarin (neck) will be limited early in training camp,

Panarin suffered the injury during off-ice workouts, prior to training camp. It comes on the heels of Blue Jackets GM Jarmo Kekalainen being non-committal regarding Panarin's status with the team moving forward. The injury itself doesn't sound too serious but the Russian's ongoing contract impasse with management makes it a situation worth monitoring. Panarin could be on the move sooner rather than later.
