Dealing with illness Boqvist (illness) was not able to participate in practice Monday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Impact Boqvist still could be available to play Tuesday versus Edmonton. He has compiled seven assists, 20 shots on goal and 26 blocked shots in 18 outings this season. If Boqvist can't play Tuesday, David Jiricek will probably fill in on the blue line.

Two helpers in return Boqvist picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Wild.

Impact Seeing his first action in a month after missing 13 games due to a shoulder injury, Boqvist made an instant impact for the Blue Jackets. The 23-year-old immediately slotted in on the first power-play unit, an assignment he'll likely keep until Zach Werenski (ankle) returns from his own injury. Boqvist is still looking for his first goal of 2023-24, but he has recorded five helpers in 14 contests.

Ready to play Saturday Per Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch, coach Pascal Vincent said Friday that Boqvist (shoulder) is 'good to go."

Impact Look for Boqvist to return to the lineup Saturday versus Minnesota. The defenseman has been out of action for a month, as he last played versus LA on Dec. 5. Boqvist has three assists in 13 games this season. Look for Jake Christiansen to get sent back to the AHL, once Boqvist is activated from injured reserve.

Practicing Wednesday Boqvist (shoulder) practiced with the team for the first time Wednesday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Impact Boqvist had been skating independently but seems to have taken the next step in his recovery. Barring any setbacks, the 23-year-old blueliner could return to the lineup against either Philadelphia or Minnesota on Thursday or Saturday, respectively. Whenever he does return, it will likely mean Jake Christiansen gets sent back to the minors.

Out four weeks with shoulder strain Boqvist is expected to miss four weeks with a shoulder strain and was consequently put on injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact Boqvist has three assists, seven hits and 17 blocks in 13 games with the Blue Jackets this season. Blankenburg, who was called up from AHL Cleveland, will likely play regularly during Boqvist's absence.

Produces first points of season Boqvist recorded two assists while adding one shot on net, two blocked shots and a plus-4 rating in Wednesday's 7-3 win over Chicago.

Impact The 23-year-old blueliner has only been in the lineup for six of Columbus' first 20 games to begin the season and hadn't produced a point while bouncing in and out of the press box, but Boqvist played like he had something to prove Wednesday against his former club. His second helper highlighted his offensive upside, as he found a wide-open Kirill Marchenko at the side of the Chicago net with a cross-ice laser for the Jackets' sixth goal of the night. Boqvist's draft pedigree -- he was the eighth overall pick in the 2018 NHL Draft before being sent to Columbus in the Seth Jones deal -- will keep earning him chances, but he'll need to show a lot more consistency to be a fantasy asset.

Little impact in season debut Boqvist failed to record a point while adding one shot and a plus-1 rating in Saturday's win over the Rangers.

Impact A healthy scratch for the Blue Jackets' season opener, Boqvist drew into the lineup after Zach Werenski (quadriceps) got hurt and Andrew Peeke struggled. Boqvist did little with his opportunity though, and it was Damon Severson who took Werenski's spot on the top power-play unit. By contrast, 19-year-old David Jiricek also made his season debut Saturday and make an immediate impact by firing home the game-winning goal. Boqvist will need to show more if he wants to avoid yo-yoing between the lineup and the press box.

Ready to rock Boqvist (illness) will be back in the lineup Tuesday against the Maple Leafs, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Impact Boqvist, who has missed the past three games, has produced 22 points, 63 shots on goal and 42 blocked shots in 40 appearances this season. His return to action will make Jake Christiansen a healthy scratch.

APRIL 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Sunday Boqvist (illness) will not suit up Sunday against the Senators, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Impact Boqvist will miss his third straight game Sunday. The 22-year-old has 22 points in just 40 games this season, tying his career best. His next chance to play will be Tuesday in Toronto.

Not playing Saturday Boqvist (illness) will miss Saturday's game versus Florida, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

APRIL 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not at practice Thursday Boqvist (undisclosed) missed practice Thursday and is a question mark to play in Boston, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

Impact Boqvist will be a game-time decision. The Blue Jackets have been decimated on the blue line as Jake Christiansen is also a game-time decision and Nick Blankenburg (ankle), Erik Gudbranson (separated shoulder), Jake Bean (shoulder) and Zach Werenski (shoulder surgery) are all out of action. The Blue Jackets recalled Marcus Bjork on an emergency basis Thursday, but if Boqvist and Christiansen are unable to go, the Blue Jackets will be down to five healthy defensemen. Boqvist has five goals and 22 points in 40 games this season.

Powers up with apple Boqvist dialed up a power-play assist in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Islanders.

Impact Injuries are largely to blame for Boqvist appearing in just 38 games this season, but he's shown flashes of brilliance when given the chance. The talented young blueliner has registered five goals and 17 assists to tie a career high in points, plus Boqvist has accounted for nine helpers on the man advantage. Zach Werenski's shoulder injury -- which surfaced in mid-November and has kept him out ever since -- has led to additional opportunities for Boqvist as he takes aim at a strong finish to the 2022-23 campaign.

Two-point effort Friday Boqvist scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken.

Impact The 22-year-old is the most offensively gifted player currently healthy on the Columbus blue line, and Boqvist is having a nice run with three goals and eight points over the last eight games, including four helpers on the power play. With the Blue Jackets having nothing to play for but the best chance at landing Connor Bedard in the draft, they can afford to live with Boqvist's occasional defensive lapses and give him all the ice time he can handle to aid his development.

Expected to play Tuesday Boqvist (lower body) is on the ice for warmups and expected to play Tuesday versus the Sabres, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Impact Boqvist was initially labeled a game-time decision, but the Blue Jackets also sent down Billy Sweezey to AHL Cleveland before the contest. That paves the way for Boqvist to return to the lineup after a one-game absence, and he should also be in line to see his usual share of power-play time.

Game-time call Boqvist (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's matchup with Buffalo, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Impact Boqvist's status for Tuesday's contest won't be determined until the Blue Jackets take the ice for pregame warmups, so fantasy managers hoping to deploy him should plan accordingly. He's picked up 16 points through 27 games this season.
