Top Blue Jackets News

  • Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Nets rare goal Saturday

    Chinakhov scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

    Chinakhov ended a 19-game point drought with the tally. He was scratched just three times in that span, as the Blue Jackets have put him in a fourth-line role, likely to give other teams a look if they want to trade for the winger. The 24-year-old has a meager five points, 34 shots on net, 25 hits and a minus-6 rating over 26 appearances, though he had 29 points in 53 games in 2023-24 and may have more upside if he gets a change of scenery.

  • Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Suffers another defeat

    Greaves stopped 22 of 25 shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

    Greaves was beaten once in the second period and twice in the final frame, and the 24-year-old netminder has lost in each of his last four starts. Over that stretch, he's allowed three or fewer goals each time, so the Blue Jackets are clearly slumping on offense. Greaves owns a 2.49 GAA and a .922 save percentage during his four-game losing skid, numbers that show he's been much better than what his record indicates.

  • Blue Jackets' Charlie Coyle: Ends scoring drought

    Coyle scored a goal and took four shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

    Coyle found the back of the net at the 7:02 mark of the first period with a wrister that gave Columbus a one-goal lead. However, the team was unable to sustain it and lost a fifth straight game. At least Coyle snapped his scoring drought, as this was his first goal since Dec. 1. With only five points (two goals, three assists) in seven December games and a bottom-six role entrenched, Coyle shouldn't carry a ton of fantasy upside moving forward.

  • Blue Jackets' Jordan Dumais: Gathers pair of points

    Dumais scored a goal and added an assist in AHL Cleveland's 4-1 win over Belleville on Saturday.

    Dumais' two-point effort gave him 12 points in 19 games this season, one point better than he had in 21 outings last year. The 21-year-old winger still has some work to do, but his talent is evident even this early in his professional career. Expect the Blue Jackets to allow him to spend most of 2025-26 developing with Cleveland.

  • Blue Jackets' Jack Williams: Posts two points in AHL win

    Williams scored a goal and added an assist in AHL Cleveland's 4-1 win over Belleville on Saturday.

    Williams logged just his second multi-point effort of the year. He's starting to come around with five points over his last five games after starting the year slow. He's at five goals, 10 points and 49 shots on net through 22 appearances.

  • Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Tending twine Saturday

    Greaves will patrol the home crease against Vegas on Saturday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

    Greaves has gone 0-3-3 in his last six appearances while surrendering 16 goals on 172 shots. He holds a 7-7-5 record this season with a 2.74 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 19 outings. Vegas ranks 14th in the league with 3.07 goals per game this year.

  • Blue Jackets' Zach Werenski: Dishes two assists

    Werenski logged two assists, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Senators.

    Werenski had gone two games without a point prior to Thursday, which is a rarity for the star defenseman. He's posted eight helpers over six outings in December. Overall, he has 32 points, 114 shots on net, 46 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 31 appearances and is a virtual lock to be in fantasy lineups.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Blue Jackets' Dante Fabbro: Finds twine Thursday

    Fabbro scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Senators.

    Fabbro ended a 15-game point drought with the tally. He's had a hard time carving out offense from a third-pairing role this season. Fabbro is at five points, 32 shots on net, 59 blocked shots, 20 hits and a minus-9 rating through 31 appearances. Unless he gets back into the top four, he probably won't do enough to help in fantasy.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Blue Jackets' Dmitri Voronkov: Pots power-play goal

    Voronkov scored a power-play goal on three shots and went minus-4 in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Senators.

    Voronkov has three goals and an assist over his last four games, and his last two tallies have come on the power play. He's up to 12 goals, 22 points, 62 shots on net, 49 hits, 40 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 31 outings. Voronkov is seeing steady top-six minutes and scoring enough to carry decent fantasy value.

  • Blue Jackets' Boone Jenner: Two points in return

    Jenner produced a goal and an assist in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Senators.

    Making his return from a 14-game absence due to an upper-body injury, Jenner got the Blue Jackets on the board late in the first period before helping to set up a Dante Fabbro tally early in the second. Jenner was having a productive start to the season prior to getting injured, and through 17 contests this season he's contributed four goals and 12 points with 34 hits, 34 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating.

  • Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Needed in relief against Sens

    Greaves was stuck with the loss Thursday, turning aside 21 of 23 shots after replacing Elvis Merzlikins late in the first period of a 6-3 defeat at the hands of Ottawa.

    Greaves was the better of the two Columbus netminders on the night, but the first goal he allowed after replacing Merzlikins wound up being the game-winner. Greaves has taken three straight losing decisions despite allowing just six goals on 91 shots (.934 save percentage) during that span, and he's 0-3-3 over his last six appearances even though he's posted a respectable 2.78 GAA and .907 save percentage. Merzlikins has a woeful 5.20 GAA and .837 save percentage over his last six outings, so Greaves needs only some consistent offensive support to lock down the top job in the Columbus crease.

  • Blue Jackets' Elvis Merzlikins: Gets early hook Thursday

    Merzlikins gave up three goals on five shots before being replaced by Jet Greaves late in the first period of Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Senators.

    Poor rebound control contributed to Ottawa's first tally of the night, but Merzlikins simply got beaten by good shots from Drake Batherson and Tim Stutzle for the final two before being lifted by coach Dean Evason. Merzlikins wound up escaping the loss, but it was another ugly line in the box score for the veteran netminder, who's stumbled to a brutal 5.20 GAA and .837 save percentage over his last six outings.

  • Blue Jackets' Luca Del Bel Belluz: Sent down by Columbus

    Del Bel Belluz was assigned to AHL Cleveland on Thursday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

    Del Bel Belluz spent just over a week with the NHL club, but he'll head back to the minors after Boone Jenner was activated off injured reserve Thursday. Del Bel Belluz has made 11 appearances for the Blue Jackets to begin the year, logging an assist, 10 blocked shots, two hits and four PIM while averaging 9:04 of ice time. He'll likely be a candidate to be called back up if the Blue Jackets need additional depth at some point.

  • Blue Jackets' Elvis Merzlikins: In goal Thursday

    Merzlikins will get the starting nod at home versus the Senators on Thursday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

    Merzlikins has given up five or more goals in four of his last five outings, while posting a 2-2-1 record and .850 save percentage. With the Latvian struggling, he has found himself relegated to the No. 2 role in Columbus behind Jet Greaves. Still, Merzlikins could play his way into a split share of the goaltending duties if he can start to put together some better performances.

  • Blue Jackets' Boone Jenner: Ready to rock

    Jenner (upper body) will return action Thursday against Ottawa, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

    Head coach Dean Evason said at the morning scrum that Jenner will be in the lineup after missing 14 games. Jenner will see second-line duty, alongside Adam Fantilli and Kent Johnson. Jenner has three goals and 10 points in 16 games this season.

  • Blue Jackets' Boone Jenner: Could return Thursday

    Jenner (upper body) is practicing on the second line and could return to the lineup versus Ottawa on Thursday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

    Jenner was injured Nov. 11 in Seattle and has missed the last 14 games. He practiced alongside Adam Fantilli and Kent Johnson and will likely see power play time when he returns to the lineup. Jenner is currently on injured reserve and will need to be activated ahead of the contest. Jenner had three goals, seven assists and 30 hits across 16 games before his injury.
