The Blue Jackets enter Saturday with a 7-10-0 record.

Blue Jackets coach Rick Bowness will miss his second straight game Saturday night due to a health issue.

General manager Don Waddell said that Bowness, 71, will not coach the team’s home game against the Flyers after previously missing a loss to the Lightning on Thursday.

“He’s doing more testing on Monday,” Waddell said. “(Bowness) was here actually this morning. That’s a good sign. He was here for a little bit with the coaches. Until we know more, he’s listed like a player, day to day. … He’s doing OK. He’s just got some things that are affecting him that we need to figure out, the doctors need to figure out.”

Assistant Don Granato — brother of former Rangers star and longtime coach Tony — will serve as the team’s coach on Saturday, as he did on Thursday.

The Blue Jackets enter Saturday with the worst record in the NHL at 7-10-0.
