Blue Jackets' Erik Gudbranson: Expected to return Tuesday
Gudbranson (upper body) is expected to return in Tuesday's home clash against the Hurricanes, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.
Gudbranson joined Columbus for line rushes in warmups, which indicates that he'll likely play in Tuesday's tilt. The 34-year-old blueliner missed each of the team's last three games due to the upper-body injury he sustained March 9. Across 21 games this season, he has three points, 19 shots on net, 27 hits and 29 blocked shots. He's in line to suit up on the Blue Jackets' third defensive pairing Tuesday and will likely be eased back into his usual amount of playing time.

Blue Jackets' Erik Gudbranson: Game-time call Tuesday
Gudbranson (upper body) will be a game-time decision versus Carolina on Tuesday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
Gudbranson has been out of action for the Blue Jackets' last three contests due to his upper-body injury. The 34-year-old blueliner's return is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy managers, considering he is currently mired in an 11-game point drought. Gudbranson doesn't offer enough category coverage in fantasy due to his lack of scoring.

Blue Jackets' Erik Gudbranson: Sitting out Saturday
Gudbranson (upper body) won't play Saturday versus the Flyers, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
Gudbranson will miss his third straight game after being labeled a game-time decision for Saturday's contest. Egor Zamula will draw in on the third pairing against his former team. Gudbranson's next chance to play is Tuesday versus the Hurricanes.

Blue Jackets' Erik Gudbranson: Game-time decision Saturday
Gudbranson (upper body) will be a game-time decision Saturday in Philadelphia, per Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.
Gudbranson, who participated in Saturday's morning skate, has missed the last two games. He is without a point in his last 11 games and has one goal and two assists in 21 games this season. If he is unable to play, look for Jake Christiansen to remain in the lineup.

Blue Jackets' Erik Gudbranson: Could join team
Gudbranson (upper body) might join the Blue Jackets ahead of the team's road matchup against Philadelphia on Saturday, per Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.
Head coach Rick Bowness stated he hopes to have Gudbranson join the team for Saturday's game. If Gudbranson is to make the trip, it could indicate that he feels good enough to play. The 34-year-old blueliner has three points, 19 shots on net, 27 hits and 29 blocked shots across 21 games this season and would likely reclaim a role on the Blue Jackets' second or third pairing.

Blue Jackets' Erik Gudbranson: Won't travel on road trip
Gudbranson (upper body) will not travel with the Blue Jackets for their upcoming three-game road trip, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports Monday.
Gudbranson sustained his upper-body injury during Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings. The Blue Jackets open their road trip Tuesday in Tampa Bay and close it out Saturday in Philadelphia, so the earliest Gudbranson can return to the lineup is March 17 for a home divisional matchup against the Hurricanes. Egor Zamula and Jake Christiansen will compete for a spot on the third pairing while Gudbranson is sidelined, but Zamula might have the inside track to play more regularly during that time.

Blue Jackets' Erik Gudbranson: Suffers upper-body injury
Gudbranson sustained an upper-body injury during Monday's game versus the Kings and will not return.
Gudbranson was hit into the boards by Artemi Panarin in the first period and did not come back into the game, per Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site. The 34-year-old Gudbranson logged two shots and one hit in 5:02 of ice time prior to departing. Columbus will play in Tampa Bay on Tuesday, so Gudbranson should be considered questionable, at best, for that matchup at this time.

Blue Jackets' Erik Gudbranson: Pots first goal of season
Gudbranson scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Flyers.
Gudbranson has three points over six games since he returned from a hip injury. The 34-year-old defenseman has reclaimed a significant shutdown role on the blue line for Columbus, and he should be a regular in the lineup as long as he avoids further injuries. He's produced three points, 11 shots on net, 16 hits, 13 blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-1 rating over 10 outings this season.

Blue Jackets' Erik Gudbranson: Picks up helper
Gudbranson notched an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Penguins.
This was Gudbranson's second game back from a long-term hip injury. The defenseman has a helper, five shots on net, six PIM, 10 hits and three blocked shots over six appearances this season. Injuries have limited him to just 22 games since the start of 2024-25, but if he can stay healthy, he'll be a defensive stalwart in the bottom four for the remainder of the campaign.

Blue Jackets' Erik Gudbranson: Coming off IR
Gudbranson (hip) will be activated off injured reserve ahead of Thursday's clash with Vancouver, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
Gudbranson looks poised to play for the first time since Oct. 25 versus the Penguins. Even with his activation, the veteran blueliner is far from a lock to play on a nightly basis and could periodically serve as a healthy scratch. In order to clear a roster spot for Gudbranson, Dysin Mayo will likely be shipped back to the minors.

Blue Jackets' Erik Gudbranson: Remains out
Gudbranson (hip) will remain out of the lineup when the Blue Jackets face Toronto on Wednesday, per Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch.
Gudbranson hasn't played since Oct. 25, and he might not be close to returning. When he is available, Gudbranson will be an option for the third pairing, but there's no guarantee he'll consistently be in the lineup.

Blue Jackets' Erik Gudbranson: Placed on injured reserve
Gudbranson (hip) was put on injured reserve Thursday.
Gudbranson has missed five consecutive games with the injury and has only seen action in four contests this season. He has yet to pick up a point and has five hits and six PIM. The Blue Jackets recalled Luca Del Bel Belluz in a corresponding move.

Blue Jackets' Erik Gudbranson: Still sidelined Wednesday
Gudbranson (hip) will not be in the lineup to face the Flames on Wednesday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
Gudbranson is with the team for its four-game road trip, which is certainly a step in the right direction for the defenseman. The Jackets are also at risk of missing Denton Mateychuk (undisclosed) against Calgary, which means Dysin Mayo could be in line to make his season debut. Once given the all-clear, the veteran Gudbranson should slot into the third pairing, where he'll feature as more of a shutdown defender than an offensive dynamo.

Gudbranson experienced hip soreness during warmups and won't play. He recently missed four games due to a lower-body injury, and it's unclear if these issues are related. His status for Wednesday versus the Maple Leafs has yet to be determined. Jake Christiansen will play in place of Gudbranson.
