Blue Jackets forward Jason Chimera was wheeled off the ice on a stretcher after being checked into the boards by Wild center Eric Belanger. The hit came in the second period of Minnesota's 2-0 preseason victory Friday night. "From my view, it looked like he just had no chance to protect himself," Columbus forward Rick Nash said. "Obviously, (Belanger) doesn't have a history of (playing dirty) and he seems to be a pretty fair player. But I don't know, I need to see the replay and judge from that." Belanger was assessed a 5-minute major for boarding and a game misconduct. "I didn't leave my feet, I didn't hit his head," Belanger said. "It's just bad luck."
