Adam Fantilli - Away from team Fantilli is away from the Blue Jackets due to a family matter, according to Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.
Impact Fantilli's availability for Thursday's matchup against Toronto is unclear at this time. The 19-year-old rookie has racked up eight goals, 16 points, 75 shots on net and 22 hits over 30 games this campaign.
DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Erik Gudbranson - Suspended one game Gudbranson received a one-game suspension after his role as the aggressor in an incident with Florida's Nick Cousins.
Impact Gudbranson racked up 29 PIM -- including a game misconduct -- during Sunday's game against the Panthers. He'll now miss Thursday's game against Toronto and be eligible to return Saturday against the Devils. The 31-year-old has 10 points in 27 games this season.
DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Daniil Tarasov - Back with big club Tarasov (knee) was recalled from his conditioning loan with AHL Cleveland on Monday. He was also activated from long-term injured reserve, per the NHL media site.
Impact Tarasov appears to be ready to make his NHL season debut after a knee injury prevented him from participating in training camp. He posted a 4-11-1 record with a 3.91 GAA and an .892 save percentage in 17 appearances with the Blue Jackets last season. Tarasov could compete for starts with Spencer Martin until Elvis Merzlikins (illness) is available to return.
DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jet Greaves - Assigned to AHL Greaves was assigned to AHL Cleveland on Monday.
Impact In a corresponding move, Daniil Tarasov (knee) was recalled from his conditioning stint in the minors. Greaves stopped 72 of 77 shots en route to a 1-1-0 record in two starts for Columbus during his recent call-up.
DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Andrew Peeke - Healthy scratch again Sunday Peeke was a healthy scratch for Sunday's loss to the Panthers.
Impact The 25-year-old blueliner drew into the lineup for a few games last week while Erik Gudbranson was ill, but Peeke quickly returned to the press box. On the season, he has only one assist in seven games with a minus-5 rating, but he has contributed 13 hits and 12 blocked shots. With Gudbranson potentially facing a suspension for an incident in Sunday's game, Peeke could find his way back into the lineup, but he's unlikely to make much of an impact.
DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jake Bean - Point drought at 23 games Bean recorded two blocked shots, a shot on net and a hit in Sunday's loss to the Panthers.
Impact The 25-year-old blueliner continues to draw a regular shift for Columbus with Damon Severson (oblique) and Adam Boqvist (shoulder) both on IR, but Bean hasn't done much with his opportunities. He's gone 23 games without registering a point, last getting onto a scoresheet with an assist Oct. 24 against the Ducks. During that drought, he's recorded 30 blocked shots, 25 shots on goal, 10 PIM, eight hits and a minus-7 rating. Despite his pedigree as the 13th overall pick in the 2016 Draft, Bean has never been able to make an impact in the NHL, and he seems unlikely to be brought back as a restricted free agent next season given his current $2.3 million salary.
DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jet Greaves - Falls to Florida Greaves stopped 31 of 34 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.
Impact Florida's final two goals were scored into an empty net. Greaves played well and made some big saves to keep Columbus in the game on an afternoon in which the team was out-shot 36-19. The 22-year-old has started two straight games with Elvis Merzlikins (illness) on injured reserve, turning aside 72 of 77 shots for a .935 save percentage, and those performances could earn Greaves another turn between the pipes when the Jackets return to the ice Thursday in Toronto.
DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Erik Gudbranson - Set for hearing Gudbranson will have a hearing with the Department of Player Safety after he was the aggressor in an incident with Florida's Nick Cousins on Sunday.
Impact Gudbranson racked up 29 PIM -- including a game misconduct in the third period -- and an assist in Sunday's loss to Florida. The 31-year-old has 10 points, 42 PIM and 66 blocked shots through 27 games. If he receives a suspension, he'll miss at least Thursday's game against Toronto.

Jet Greaves - Starting Sunday Greaves will patrol the home crease Sunday against Florida, according to Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.
Impact Greaves will get a second straight start after posting a 43-save performance in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blues. Florida is tied for 18th in the league this campaign with 3.08 goals per contest.
DECEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Patrik Laine - Good to go Laine (illness) will return to the lineup Sunday against Florida, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
Impact Laine, who sat out the past three contests, has generated five goals, seven points, 36 shots on net and 13 blocked shots over 16 appearances this season. He will replace Mathieu Olivier in the lineup.
DECEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Cole Sillinger - Activated from IR Sillinger (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Sunday.
Impact Sillinger is expected to return from a five-game absence in Sunday's contest against Florida. He has picked up one goal, eight assists, 42 shots on net, 25 blocked shots and 23 hits across 24 appearances this season.

Yegor Chinakhov scores twice in Blue Jackets 5-2 victory over Blues | Game Highlights (12/8/23)
DECEMBER 9, 2023 • YOUTUBE
Patrik Laine - Could return Sunday Laine (illness) could be back in the lineup Sunday versus Florida, per Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.
Impact Laine has missed the last three games. It has been a tough season for Laine, who was also a healthy scratch Nov. 19 for his ineffective play. He has five goals and seven points in 16 games this season.
DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Boone Jenner - Out six weeks Jenner is expected to miss six weeks after suffering a fractured jaw Friday against St. Louis. He was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
Impact This is a big blow to the Blue Jackets as Jenner has been their top forward this season. The 30-year-old has 13 goals, five assists, 81 shots on goal, 44 hits and 39 blocked shots in 29 games this season.

The Columbus Blue Jackets host the Florida Panthers after Yegor Chinakhov's two-goal game against the St. Louis Blues in the Blue Jackets' 5-2 winDECEMBER 9, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Emil Bemstrom - Grabs helper in win Bemstrom posted an assist in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blues.
Impact Bemstrom helped out on Adam Fantilli's go-ahead goal in the first period. Since he was recalled from AHL Cleveland earlier in the week, Bemstrom has three points over two appearances. The 24-year-old has an open trade request, but it's unlikely to be fulfilled while the Blue Jackets need him. He's produced seven points, 24 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 14 NHL outings this season.
DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Justin Danforth - Nabs assist in win Danforth logged an assist and blocked three shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blues.
Impact Danforth led all Columbus forwards with 22:39 of ice time -- it's just the third time he's exceeded 20 minutes in a game this season. He helped cover some of the lost time from Boone Jenner (face) leaving the game early. The 30-year-old Danforth has gained a lot of trust this year, racking up 12 points, 33 shots on net, 43 hits, 25 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 29 contests, primarily in a bottom-six role. His solid two-way play has earned him a top-line look recently, though that will likely be reduced once Patrik Laine (illness) returns.
DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kent Johnson - Earns helper Friday Johnson managed an assist in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blues.
Impact Johnson has three assists over five games since he was recalled from AHL Cleveland. All of those points have come over the last two contests. The 21-year-old forward is up to one goal, five assists, 16 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 13 outings overall. He's still a player to hold onto in dynasty formats, but Johnson's bottom-six role currently doesn't offer much hope for him returning value in redraft formats.
DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Dmitri Voronkov - Dishes pair of assists Voronkov recorded two assists, three shots on goal and two hits in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blues.
Impact Voronkov helped out on goals by linemates Kirill Marchenko and Yegor Chinakhov. That trio has generally been effective, but Voronkov entered the contest on a three-game point drought. This game was his first career multi-point effort. The 23-year-old is up to five goals, nine helpers, 31 shots on net, 23 hits, 23 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 23 outings. He may have some appeal in deeper fantasy formats for his solid offense and physical play.
