Top Blue Jackets News

  • Blue Jackets' Dante Fabbro: Close to returning

    Head coach Rick Bowness said Wednesday that Fabbro (hand) is close to returning to game action, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

    Fabbro has been on injured reserve since the start of the regular season due to a hand injury that was expected to force him to miss at least a month. He's expected to skate Thursday and Friday before the team determines his status for Saturday's matchup against the Golden Knights. If the 28-year-old remains out against Vegas, Bowness said that the goal is for Fabbro to return for Tuesday's game in Philadelphia.

  • Blue Jackets' Emil Andrae: Gathers assist

    Andrae logged an assist in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

    Andrae has played in five of the Blue Jackets' eight games so far. He is primarily competing with Carson Soucy for the last spot in the lineup. Andrae has two assists, four hits, five blocked shots and a plus-3 rating across five appearances this season.

  • Blue Jackets' Charlie Coyle: Surprising production amongst Ohio ruins

    Coyle scored a goal Tuesday in a 6-2 loss to Toronto.

    He scored it while on his stomach from the side of the net. It was a tough night for Coyle and the rest of the Blue Jackets. The Leafs were up 5-1 by the mid-point of the second period. The Jackets are in last place in the Eastern Conference right now, but Coyle is quietly delivering sneaky fantasy value amongst the ruins. He has one goal, six assists, 15 shots, a plus-3 rating and a 57.1 face-off percentage in eight games after putting up 58 points, including 20 goals, in 82 games last season.

  • Blue Jackets' Jake Christiansen: First goal since 2024

    Christiansen scored a goal Tuesday in a 6-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

    Christiansen opened the scoring early in the first period with his first goal since Dec. 21, 2024. The 27-year-old defender showed some offensive chops in the AHL (46 points in 62 games in 2023-24), but none of that has translated into 159 career NHL games. Christiansen has just three shots in seven games this season while averaging 13:14. There's not much fantasy value in his game.

  • Blue Jackets' Cam Talbot: Barely tested in relief

    Talbot stopped two of three shots in relief Tuesday in a 6-2 loss to Toronto.

    The Leafs overwhelmed Jet Greaves early, and then barely engaged Talbot -- those three shots came in close to a half game's work (27:57). The Blue Jackets sit at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with few signs of life right now. Both Talbot and Greaves are headed for a winter of discontent.

  • Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Pulled in middle of storm of Leafs

    Greaves allowed five goals on 19 shots in 32:03 Tuesday before being replaced by Cam Talbot in a 6-2 loss to Toronto.

    The Leafs came in waves early and there was little Greaves could do with his team on their heels. He's had a rough start to the season. In five starts, he's 2-3-0 with a 3.34 GAA, .883 save percentage and one shutout, and he has three games where he's allowed four or more goals. Ugh. The Blue Jackets sit last in the Eastern Conference with a 3-5-0 record -- yes, they're worse than the slow-starting Flyers. And they're tied with Chicago with the fourth-worst record in the NHL. Greaves is good, but this could be a long season.

  • Blue Jackets' Ivan Provorov: Remains week-to-week

    Provorov (lower body) is expected to remain sidelined on injured reserve on a week-to-week basis, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

    Provorov has been sidelined since the late portions of training camp with a lower-body injury, which has caused him to miss all of the 2026-27 season thus far. He's expected to remain out for at least another week, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him kept out of the lineup until early November, given that his injury timeline hasn't improved since the start of the regular season. Provorov will be relevant in deep fantasy leagues upon his return after posting 31 points, 158 shots on net and 134 blocked shots across 82 regular-season games in the 2025-26 campaign.

  • Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: In line to start Tuesday

    Greaves is slated to defend the home crease in Tuesday's clash against the Maple Leafs, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

    Greaves showed out Saturday, where he halted 31 shots in 1-0 shutout victory over the Rangers. The win was his first since opening night, and after a day of rest for the second half of the Blue Jackets' back-to-back, he's poised to be a strong fantasy option Tuesday. The 25-year-old goaltender has a 2-2-0 record, a 2.58 GAA, and a .905 save percentage across five appearances this season. He'll face off against the Maple Leafs in what's set to be an intriguing game following the trade the two sides made in the offseason. Greaves should be started with confidence in fantasy Tuesday.

  • Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Nets lone goal in loss

    Fantilli scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Wild.

    Fantilli hasn't gotten into a rhythm yet this season. He's scored twice and added an assist over seven games while adding 19 shots on net, 13 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating. The 22-year-old center was a late arrival to camp, missing over a week as an unsigned restricted free agent. That factor, coupled with a light schedule for the Blue Jackets early in the season, may be making it difficult for him to shake off the rust. He's in a top-line role, so his offense should come around eventually.

  • Blue Jackets' Cam Talbot: Keeps it close in loss

    Talbot stopped 32 of 34 shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Wild.

    The Blue Jackets got more than doubled up on shots (34-14), but Talbot did his part to keep things close. The 39-year-old looked a lot better in this game than when he gave up six goals on 23 shots against the Panthers on Tuesday. Talbot will continue to handle backup duties behind Jet Greaves, though neither goalie is a strong play in weekly leagues since the Blue Jackets are playing just twice in the next seven days. They'll host the Maple Leafs on Tuesday and the Golden Knights on Saturday.

  • Blue Jackets' Cam Talbot: Starting in Minnesota

    Talbot will defend the road net against the Wild on Sunday, per Heather Rule of NHL.com.

    Talbot will get the second half of Columbus' back-to-back after Jet Greaves played in Saturday's 1-0 overtime win over the Rangers. The 39-year-old Talbot is 1-1-0 this season while allowing eight goals on 45 shots. Minnesota (5-2-1) ranks 11th in the league with 3.25 goals per game this campaign.

  • Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Posts 29-save shutout

    Greaves stopped all 29 shots he faced in Saturday's 1-0 overtime win over the Rangers.

    Greaves bounced back impressively after surrendering 11 goals across his previous four appearances, earning his first shutout of the season while posting his second-highest save total of the season. The 25-year-old netminder also helped Columbus kill all three New York power plays, providing a much-needed improvement following the team's recent defensive struggles. While his early-season inconsistency remains a concern, Saturday's performance offers encouragement for fantasy managers relying on him for starts and wins.

  • Blue Jackets' Kent Johnson: Nets overtime winner

    Johnson scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 1-0 overtime win over the Rangers.

    Johnson has scored in three consecutive games, bringing his season total to a team-leading four goals, and he's cracked the scoresheet in all but one of his six appearances to date. The 24-year-old winger is enjoying an excellent start to the season, and while this scoring pace is unsustainable, his numbers and overall involvement on offense have been encouraging for fantasy managers. Set in the first line on both even-strength and power-play situations, Johnson should continue to have ample opportunities to keep scoring.

  • Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: In net Saturday

    Greaves will protect the home net against the Rangers on Saturday, per Blue Jackets reporter Dave Maetzold.

    Greaves has posted a 1-2-0 record and has surrendered 11 goals on 87 shots in four appearances this campaign. The Rangers (6-3-0) have scored 28 goals in nine games this season.

  • Blue Jackets' Owen Sillinger: Three assists in AHL win

    Sillinger notched three assists in AHL Cleveland's 4-2 win over Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Friday.

    Sillinger has worked as a playmaker early this season. He's earned five helpers over five games for the Monsters. The 29-year-old forward is on a two-way contract this year, but it's unlikely he'll see much NHL time.
