Two helpers in Buffalo Texier notched two assists in Tuesday's 9-4 rout of the Sabres.

Impact Both points came in the second period as Texier helped set up Erik Gudbranson and Sewan Kuraly for tallies that capped a run of seven straight goals for the Blue Jackets. This was Texier's first multi-point performance since Nov. 6 and the 24-year-old has slipped to the fourth line, but he's having one of his more productive stretches of the season with two goals and four points over the last five games.

Impact Texier appeared to have rediscovered his offensive game of last with two goals on eight shots in his last four outings. If the 24-year-old winger is unable to suit up versus the Sabres, his spot in the lineup will likely go to the recently recalled Brendan Gaunce.

Impact Texier capped the scoring late in the third period, ending his seven-game point drought with seconds to spare. The 24-year-old has mainly filled a bottom-six role in his first NHL campaign since 2021-22. He's up to five goals, three assists, 38 shots on net, 10 PIM and a minus-9 rating over 27 appearances.

Rejoins Blue Jackets Texier (illness) met up with his teammates in Raleigh on Saturday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

Collects assist Texier notched an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Rangers.

Impact Texier set up a Sean Kuraly goal in the second period. All four of Texier's points this season have come over the last four games. The 24-year-old forward has generally filled a middle-six role, though he led all Blue Jackets forward with 18:09 of ice time Sunday. He's added 23 shots on net and a minus-7 rating through 15 appearances -- without more sustained offense, he's not a particularly intriguing option for fantasy managers.

Gets first two points of season Texier scored a goal and registered an assist in a 5-4 overtime loss to Florida on Monday.

Impact Those were Texier's first two points in 12 appearances this year. His marker midway through the third period gave the Blue Jackets a 4-3 edge, but they failed to hold onto it. The 24-year-old showed promise last season with 11 goals and 20 points in 26 contests, and he went into Monday's game averaging a healthy 16:37 of ice time this campaign, so his lack of offense has been surprising. Perhaps his production will begin to pick up now that his season-opening drought is behind him.

Strong preseason continues Texier picked up an assist in Monday's 5-3 preseason win over the Blues.

Impact It's been a tough couple years off the ice for the 24-year-old -- Texier played in France last season to be closer to his family -- but he's back in North America and is getting a long look in a top-six role during training camp. Texier scored 11 goals and 20 points in 36 games during his last NHL action in 2021-22, and while he likely won't be a dynamic offensive asset this season even on a top line, he could be defensively responsible glue guy alongside a Patrik Laine or Adam Fantilli.
