The Blue Jackets acquired Severson from the New Jersey Devils in June. He's in the first season of an eight-year, $50-million contract.
Severson's registered eight points in 19 games in his debut season with Columbus while averaging over 20 minutes per contest.
The Blue Jackets are off to a 4-11-4 start and are winless in their past nine games.
