Ryan Murray has caught the early-season injury bug.

Having already missed one game this campaign after blocking a shot, the Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman was dealt another setback Friday, suffering an upper-body injury that will bar him from the team's upcoming four-game road swing, head coach John Tortorella announced following the club's 3-2 win over Chicago.

Columbus will travel to Dallas, Los Angeles, San Jose, and Anaheim before returning home Nov. 1.

Murray, 23, has not recorded a point in two contests this season, while averaging 19:52 of ice time.
