Cole Sillinger - NHL News & Rumors

Impact Sillinger's designation for injured reserve is essentially a formality after general manager Don Waddell told reporters Tuesday that the 21-year-old center is expected to miss several weeks due to his shoulder injury. The Blue Jackets activated Yegor Chinakhov from injured reserve in a corresponding move. Joseph LaBate and Mikael Pyyhtia could see more ice time as a result of Sillinger facing an extended absence.

Impact Sillinger is expected to miss most of March based on his recovery timeline. The 21-year-old center is just one point shy of reaching the 30-point threshold for the third time in his four-year NHL career. With the Columbus native on the shelf, Justin Danforth could see an uptick in ice time while filling a third-line role.

Set to miss time General manager Don Waddell announced Friday that Sillinger (upper body) "will be out for a little while," Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Impact Sillinger sustained an upper-body injury in the first period of Thursday's game against the Red Wings, and it appears as though he'll be forced to miss additional time. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but Mikael Pyyhtia will likely enter the lineup after he was called up Friday.

Sustains injury Thursday Sillinger (upper body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Red Wings.

Impact Sillinger was hurt in the first period of the contest. He should be considered day-to-day until the Blue Jackets provide another update. Sillinger is questionable to play in Saturday's Stadium Series game, which is a rematch against the Red Wings.

Contributes two helpers Saturday Sillinger notched two assists, two hits, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact This was Sillinger's first multi-point effort since Dec. 5. The 21-year-old center reached the 20-assist mark for the first time in his career, but he's still three points shy of matching his output from 2023-24 since he hasn't scored efficiently. He's at 29 points, 113 shots on net, 60 hits, 30 blocked shots, 35 PIM and a minus-14 rating over 52 appearances in 2024-25.

Scores again Sunday Sillinger scored a goal in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Stars.

Impact Sillinger has two goals, one assist and two shots on net over three games since he returned from an upper-body injury. The 21-year-old center is up to nine tallies, 26 points, 108 shots on net, 58 hits and a minus-14 rating over 48 appearances. He doesn't have a track record of maintaining offense over long stretches -- his current three-game point streak is his longest of the season -- but he's worth a look in fantasy while filling a second-line role.

Sets up overtime winner Sillinger logged an assist and two PIM in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over Utah.

Impact One day after scoring the game-winner in Vegas, Sillinger set up Zach Werenski's tally 1:01 into overtime against Utah. Sillinger is back in a top-six role after sitting out three games due to an upper-body injury. The 21-year-old center is up to 25 points, 107 shots on net, 58 hits, 33 PIM and a minus-13 rating over 47 appearances this season, giving him a good chance of surpassing his career-high 32 points from 2023-24.

Nets game-winner in return Sillinger scored the game-winning goal and blocked two shots in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Sillinger returned from a three-game absence due to an upper-body injury. He was a little sheltered in his return, playing just 15:54, but he was on the ice at the right time to bury a rebound 52 seconds into overtime. Sillinger had been limited to three points over 14 contests prior to his injury. The 21-year-old is at eight goals (two game-winners), 24 points, 107 shots on net, 57 hits, 27 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating over 46 appearances. He'll have a fairly safe role in the top six for a few weeks, as Sean Monahan (wrist) is likely to be out until mid-March.

This was Sillinger's first goal since Dec. 17, when he notched a power-play tally in a 5-3 loss to the Lightning.
