(CP) - Star winger Rick Nash of the Columbus Blue Jackets will be out another 12 to 14 days after getting another opinion from doctors on his high ankle sprain.The Jackets were hoping to get him back next week."Unfortunately, that's not the case," Jackets GM Doug MacLean told the Columbus Dispatch. "He's going to be immobilized for the next week. Then we'll start therapy again. From what the doctors told me, if we follow this procedure he should be 100 per cent in two weeks."Nash hurt his right ankle when he crashed feet-first into the boards Sept. 14, the second day of training camp. He skipped the exhibition season, came back for the Oct. 5 regular-season opener but didn't feel right. He was later put on injured reserve.Nash visited Cleveland Clinic on Thursday, where a specialist agreed with opinions from team doctors."They said everything was on track, that the injury was what we thought it was right along," Nash said. "I'll take a week off, relax, and when next week comes along I'll start therapy again. Hopefully, I'll be on the ice and back at it in two weeks."</blockquote>
