Blue Jackets forward Brandon Dubinsky has left the NHL team to address a potentially "career-threatening" personal matter, according to a report out of Columbus.
A team spokesperson said Dubinsky, who was expected to return to the lineup this week, practised Monday but missed Tuesday's workout because of a "maintenance day." The team later said the 31-year-old wouldn't travel to Arizona for Thursday's game against the Coyotes due to a scheduled doctor's visit.
Dubinsky has missed 17 games since suffering a broken orbital bone during a fight with Edmonton's Zack Kassian on Dec. 12, and there conflicting reports as to whether Dubinsky's personal matter is health-related.

Always hate seeing a career potentially end short. Hopefully Dubinsky can get it all sorted out.
