Columbus Blue Jackets goalie Sergei Bobrovsky has found himself in the club\u2019s dog house. <\/p>\n

Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen announced Thursday morning that Bobrovsky won\u2019t play tonight in Columbus against the Nashville Predators after an unspecified \u201cincident\u201d involving the goalie. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere are certain expectations and values that we have established for our players that define our culture,\u201d <\/p>\n

Kekalainen said in a statement<\/a><\/p>\n

. \u201cAn incident occurred in which Sergei failed to meet those expectations and values, so we made the decision that he would not be with the team for tonight\u2019s game. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an internal matter and we will have no further comment at this time.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n

#CBJ<\/a> coach John Tortorella won\u2019t comment on Bobrovsky situation beyond club press release. But spokesman says Bobrovsky is expected to practice with Blue Jackets on Friday.<\/p>\n

With Bobrovsky unavailable for tonight\u2019s game, the Blue Jackets called up goalie Jean-Francois Berube from the Cleveland Monsters of the AHL. <\/p>\n

Bobrovsky, a two-time Vezina Trophy winner, has gone 18-13-1 with a 2.87 goals-against average and .906 save percentage in 32 games this season. <\/p>\n
