Alex Nylander - Unavailable versus Penguins Nylander (upper body) will not be available to play versus Pittsburgh on Thursday, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.
Impact Nylander was dealt from the Penguins five weeks ago, in exchange for Emil Benstrom and has made the most of his change of scenery. Nylander has eight goals and 11 points in 15 games with the Blue Jackets and is seeing almost three minutes more of ice time than he did in five scoreless games with the Penguins earlier in the season.

Daniil Tarasov - In blue paint Thursday Tarasov will guard the cage for Thursday's road clash with Pittsburgh, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.
Impact Tarasov has started three of the Jackets' last seven outings, as the team has decided to split the workload between the 25-year-old and Elvis Merzlikins. Looking ahead to next season, Tarasov could be in the mix for the starting job, especially if the team honors Merzlikins's prior trade request. For now, Tarasov should get the nod in every other game.

Johnny Gaudreau - Deals two power-play assists Gaudreau notched two power-play assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Coyotes.
Impact The Blue Jackets have just one win in their last nine outings, but Gaudreau has been good with a goal and eight assists in that span. He helped out on tallies by Boone Jenner and Zach Werenski in this contest. Gaudreau's shooting luck remains poor -- he's stuck on 11 goals with 43 assists, 138 shots on net and a minus-25 rating through 72 appearances.

Boone Jenner - Goal, assist on power play Jenner scored a goal and dished an assist, both on the power play, in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Coyotes.
Impact Jenner added four shots on goal and two hits. The 30-year-old forward has three goals and three helpers over his last seven outings, providing solid offense and some extra physicality in a top-line role. He's at 22 goals, 35 points, 153 shots on net, 118 hits and a minus-7 rating through 57 contests overall.
MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE
Zach Werenski - One of each in loss Werenski scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Coyotes.
Impact Werenski added four shots on net but also took a minus-3 rating. The 26-year-old defenseman hadn't scored a power-play goal since March 5, 2022 -- he played just 13 games last season and has had some poor luck this year. Overall, he's put together a solid campaign on a weak team, posting 46 points, 177 shots on net, 115 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 60 appearances.
MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE
Elvis Merzlikins - Losing streak at five games Merzlikins stopped 29 of 35 shots in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Coyotes.
Impact Merzlikins just can't find a groove, allowing six goals in each of the last three games. He's surrendered 23 tallies during his five-game losing streak. The 29-year-old is at 12-17-8 with a 3.47 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 40 outings overall. The Blue Jackets have mainly rotated goalies over the last two weeks, so Daniil Tarasov seems likely to start Thursday in Pittsburgh.
