Trey Fix-Wolansky - Ascends to top level Fix-Wolansky was recalled on an emergency basis from AHL Cleveland on Thursday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
Impact Coach Pascal Vincent said Wednesday that the Blue Jackets would need to recall a player if Justin Danforth (illness) was still ailing. Fix-Wolansky has one assist in nine NHL games this season, and will likely line up alongside James Malatesta and Carson Meyer on the fourth line -- if he gets into the lineup.

Daniil Tarasov - Gets starting nod Tarasov will patrol the home crease versus the Islanders on Thursday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
Impact Tarasov was fantastic in his last start Monday against the Avalanche, stopping 45 of 46 shots en route to an impressive 4-1 victory. He'll try to secure his ninth win of the season in a home matchup with an Isles squad that's 16-17-5 on the road this year.

Sean Kuraly - Not ready to return Kuraly (lower body) practiced Wednesday, but he won't be available for Thursday's game versus the Islanders, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
Impact Kuraly will miss an 11th straight game Thursday, but he's clearly making progress in his recovery. Either way, he's picked up only 17 points through 57 contests this season, so most fantasy managers shouldn't need to track his status.
APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE
Justin Danforth - Dealing with illness Danforth is battling an illness and consequently questionable for Thursday's game against the Islanders, per Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.
Impact Danforth has 10 goals, 21 points, 22 PIM, 105 hits and 45 blocks in 64 appearances in 2023-24. If he can't play Thursday, then Columbus might recall a forward from AHL Cleveland.

David Jiricek - Summoned from minors Jiricek was brought up from AHL Cleveland on Tuesday.
Impact Jiricek joins the Blue Jackets on an emergency basis after the team returned Jake Christiansen to the minors earlier in the day. The 20-year-old Jiricek has one goal, nine points, 33 shots on net and 39 blocked shots in 36 NHL outings this campaign. He will probably be in the lineup Thursday versus the Islanders because it's still unclear when Adam Boqvist (upper body) will be available to return.

Impact Marchenko opened the scoring when he hit the 20-goal milestone for the second time in his young career. This was his second goal in as many games. He also added an assist on the empty-netter, one hit, three shots on net and a plus-2 rating in 18:11 of ice time.

Daniil Tarasov - Shines in victory Tarasov stopped 45 of 46 shots in Monday's 4-1 home win over the Avalanche.
Impact What a game for Tarasov. The 25-year-old netminder frustrated Colorado all game, kicking aside the first 34 shots sent his way until finally being beat for the only Avalanche goal partway through the third frame. Tarasov may not be producing many wins -- he had only three in the month of March -- but he has only had a save percentage under .900 once over eight games that same span. The Blue Jackets host the Islanders on Thursday.
