Columbus Blue Jackets leading goal-scorer Brandon Saad will not travel to Philadelphia after suffering an upper-body injury in Friday's 6-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers, reports Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch.

Saad remained in the game briefly after appearing to be shaken up by an open ice. But he eventually left the contest, and the team later announced he would not return.

It will be just the second game he's missed in his first season with the Blue Jackets.

Columbus will return home following Saturday's clash with the Flyers before hosting the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday for the first of five straight home starts.
