Impact The assist was Johnson's first point in six outings this season. He's played exclusively on the third pairing when he suits up, though he may eventually feel some pressure from David Jiricek for a spot in the lineup. Johnson has added two shots on goal, six hits, four blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-1 rating. He won't make enough of an impact for fantasy.

Sean Kuraly - Gets on scoresheet with assist Kuraly provided an assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Predators.
Impact The helper on Zach Werenski's third-period tally was Kuraly's first point in seven appearances this season. Kuraly plays as a defense-first forward on the fourth line. He's posted just two shots on goal with 11 hits and a plus-2 rating. The 31-year-old has reached the 30-point mark just once in his career and is unlikely to achieve that much scoring success in 2024-25.

Impact Labanc has earned an assist in each of his last four contests, though he's still not guaranteed a spot in the lineup each game.

OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE
Mathieu Olivier - Pockets helper Olivier notched an assist and three hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Predators.
Impact Olivier has thrived with more ice time -- he has five points over the last four games since injuries to Columbus forwards forced him into a third-line spot. The 27-year-old winger has added four shots on net, 23 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating over seven appearances. In the long run, his toughness will be a constant, but he's unlikely to keep up this scoring pace for long, though he's in a great position to top his career high of 15 points from 2022-23.
OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE
Adam Fantilli - Slides helper in overtime loss Fantilli logged an assist, six shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Predators.
Impact Fantilli picked up his first assist of the year on a Kirill Marchenko tally in the second period. The 20-year-old Fantilli hasn't popped on offense yet, earning three points through seven contests. He's added 21 shots on net, eight hits, eight blocked shots and a minus-2 rating while playing on the second line and second power-play unit. Fantasy managers in redraft formats may want to consider other options, but his long-term upside in dynasty remains high.
OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE
Zach Aston-Reese - Deposits goal Aston-Reese scored a goal on three shots and added four hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Predators.
Impact Aston-Reese has earned all three of his points this season over the last four games. The 30-year-old has seen a larger role lately, as the absences of Kent Johnson (shoulder), Boone Jenner (shoulder) and Dmitri Voronkov (upper body) have opened some playing time. Aston-Reese is filling a third-line role with three points, 11 shots on net, 14 hits and a plus-2 rating over seven appearances.
OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE
Zach Werenski - Pots goal in overtime loss Werenski scored a goal on four shots, added two PIM, logged two hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Predators.
Impact Werenski has five points over his last four games. The 27-year-old defenseman is up to three goals, four assists, 27 shots on net, seven blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over seven appearances this season. Werenski can be an impact player in fantasy with points, power-play production and shots, and that's been augmented by the Blue Jackets' strong start to the year on offense.
OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE
Kirill Marchenko - Opens scoring in overtime loss Marchenko scored a goal on three shots and added four PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Predators.
Impact Marchenko scored for the third time in four games when he opened the scoring at 3:53 of the second period. The 24-year-old is thriving on Columbus' top line with four goals, five assists, 19 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over seven contests. That's a 21.1 shooting percentage, which is likely to drop as the season progresses, but the winger should continue to be productive as long as he sees plenty of ice time.
OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE
Daniil Tarasov - Squanders leads, loses in overtime Tarasov allowed four goals on 33 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Predators.
Impact Tarasov let leads of 2-0 and 3-2 slip away, and Jonathan Marchessault completed Nashville's comeback in overtime. This was Tarasov's fourth straight start, and it's the third time in five outings he's given up at least four goals. The 25-year-old netminder is 3-1-1 on the year, but the Blue Jackets are a bit questionable defensively despite their impressive early scoring output (27 goals in seven games). A tough test is up next as Columbus hosts Edmonton on Monday.
