Yegor Chinakhov - Adds power-play helperChinakhov produced a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Wild.
ImpactChinakhov played on the top line and led all Columbus forwards with 20:48 of ice time in the season opener. If he can keep that role and a spot on the first power-play unit all year, he is poised for a breakout campaign after logging 29 points in 53 games in 2023-24. Chinakhov won't have any immediate competition after Boone Jenner (shoulder) underwent surgery Wednesday and will be out for 5-6 months, though left-shot forwards Cole Sillinger and Kent Johnson, both natural centers, may eventually push for more ice time beyond their current third-line spots.

Damon Severson - Contributes helper ThursdaySeverson recorded an assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Wild.
ImpactSeverson is in a top-four role to begin the season, and he's also on the second power-play unit. In 2023-24, he had just 28 points over 67 contests in his first year with the Blue Jackets, his lowest output in a full-length season since 2017-18. He can be a useful depth defenseman in fantasy with better offense, but his totals in hits and blocked shots are fairly modest, leaving him with little upside for category coverage.

Declan Chisholm - Questionable for SaturdayChisholm (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against Seattle. Even if he ends up being unavailable Saturday, he's likely to return for Sunday's contest versus Winnipeg, c...
ImpactChisholm missed Minnesota's season opener against Columbus on Thursday due to the illness. He had three goals and nine points in 31 regular-season contests between the Jets and Wild in 2023-24. Chisholm will likely serve on the third pairing once he's healthy.

Marc-Andre Fleury - Starting SaturdayFleury will be in the blue paint at home versus Seattle on Saturday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
ImpactFleury will make his first start of the season in his final year in the NHL, as he announced in the summer that he would retire at the end of the 2024-25 campaign after playing 20 years. Fleury was 17-15-5 with a 2.98 GAA and an .895 save percentage in 40 regular-season appearances in 2023-24 with the Wild. He will face Seattle, who lost their opener 3-2 to the Blues on Tuesday.
