Columbus Blue Jackets right wing Nathan Horton has been diagnosed with degeneration of the entire lumbar region of his spine and his career could be in jeopardy, The Columbus Dispatch reported Tuesday.
Horton has yet to play a game this season and was limited to 35 games in 2013-14. Horton did not play for the Blue Jackets in their Eastern Conference First Round series against the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Reporter Aaron Portzline cited sources who said surgery has not been scheduled or ruled out but is viewed as a last resort.
If his career is done, he'll probably be forced to retire instead of collecting his salary while on the IR. Just from a hockey perspective, it's an out for CBJ when it comes to that contract.
