Daniil Tarasov - Slated to serve as backup Tarasov (illness) will serve as the backup netminder for Monday's road game against the Islanders, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Impact Tarasov was unable to suit up for Friday's game against the Penguins due to an illness, but it's encouraging that he'll be able to dress as the backup to Elvis Merzlikins on Monday. The Blue Jackets have an upcoming back-to-back set that includes games against the Canucks on Friday and against the Senators on Saturday, and it wouldn't be surprising to see Tarasov draw the start in one of those matchups.

Jake Christiansen - Will remain sidelined vs. Islanders Christiansen (upper body) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Islanders, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Impact Christiansen continues to deal with an upper-body injury and will be unavailable for a fifth consecutive matchup. Erik Gudbranson (shoulder) will be back in action for Monday's matchup following a lengthy absence, so Christiansen may not have a consistent spot in the lineup once he's healthy. Whether Christiansen will be in the mix to return Friday against the Canucks remains to be seen.

Impact Monahan will play on the top line and first power-play unit after missing the last 28 games. He has generated 14 goals, 41 points and 106 shots on net through 41 appearances this season.

Impact Gudbranson hasn't suited up since mid-October due to a shoulder procedure, but he'll be back in action on the road Monday. He logged six goals, 20 assists, 170 blocked shots, 92 hits and 74 PIM while averaging 19:40 of ice time over 78 appearances with the Blue Jackets last year, but it's possible that he faces some limitations Monday following his lengthy absence.
