Columbus Blue Jackets forward Riley Nash picked up a shoulder injury in his team's second-round Stanley Cup playoff series against the Boston Bruins, and one of his former teammates is to blame.
Nash revealed to reporters during exit interviews Wednesday that he suffered a shoulder ailment as a result of a hit by former Bruins teammate Zdeno Chara.
