Tyson Jost Sent Back To Raleigh Due To Apparent Injury

According to Carolina Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour, forward Tyson Jost has been sent back to Raleigh for examination following what seems to be an injury that occurred Tuesday night in Columbus.

Jost was checked into the end boards by Columbus defenseman Jack Johnson midway through the third period and while the hit didn't look like much, Jost would up heading to the locker room following it and wouldn't play the remainder of the game

It's a tough break for the 26 year old who was actually an injury callup himself, slotting in for Jack Drury who's been out following thumb surgery that he had in December.

In 16 games, Jost had had two goals with the Hurricanes and had been solid in his minutes centering the fourth line.

In his place, the team has called up Finnish forward Juha Jaaska from the Chicago Wolves and he will be making his NHL debut tonight.
