The Blue Jackets placed Domi on injured reserve on Monday.
Domi, 26, was off to a hot start with his Columbus, registering a goal and three assists in two games. He has 279 career points (91 goals, 188 assists) in 435 NHL games with the Arizona Coyotes, Montreal Canadiens and Columbus.
Domi made a quicker than expected return from off-season shoulder surgery, returning in the pre-season.
The Winnipeg native had nine goals and 24 points in 54 games for Columbus in 2020-21, his first season with the Blue Jackets after being acquired in a trade with the Montreal Canadiens along with a 2020 third-round pick (which became defenceman Samuel Knazko) in exchange for forward Josh Anderson.
Domi has one year remaining on a two-year, $10.6-million contract he signed with the Blue Jackets in the wake of the trade.
