ERIK GUDBRANSON NEWS

Questionable for Monday Gudbranson (lower body) is questionable for Monday's matchup with Dallas, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Impact Gudbranson, who didn't practice Sunday, will be re-evaluated prior to Monday's contest to determine his availability. He has been credited with 10 shots on goal, seven hits and 26 blocked shots in eight games this season. If Gudbranson can't play against the Stars, Adam Boqvist or Andrew Peeke could draw into the lineup.

Skating on first day of camp Gudbranson (shoulder) was on the ice for Thursday's practice at Blue Jackets camp, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Impact Gudbranson worked alongside newcomer Ivan Provorov, which could be a glimpse at a new pairing this season, though it is early in camp. The 31-year-old Gudbranson's 2022-23 campaign ended with a separated shoulder in March after he produced 13 points, 119 hits, 137 blocked shots and a minus-24 rating in 70 contests. He'll likely be a regular in the Blue Jackets' lineup as a bottom-four defenseman this season.

Set for six-week absence Gubdranson suffered a separated shoulder that will sideline him for six weeks, the team announced Monday.

Impact Gudbranson's recovery timeline means he will be out for the remainder of the 2022-23 campaign. As such, the 31-year-old blueliner will finish the year having registered one goal and 12 assists in 70 games while averaging 21:18 of ice time. Despite logging career-high minutes this season, it didn't translate into points, missing the 15-point mark for the 11th time in his 12-year career.

Could be facing extended absence Gudbranson (upper body) will not travel to Montreal on Saturday and could be dealing with a "longer-term" injury, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

Impact Based on the wording from head coach Brad Larsen, Gudbranson could be out for the entire three-game road trip. The 31-year-old blueliner can be considered out indefinitely until more information is available. Columbus will need to promote a replacement from AHL Cleveland.

Exits Friday's game Gudbranson (upper body) will not return to Friday's game against the Islanders, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gudbranson logged 16:21 of ice time with one shot before leaving Friday's contest. The veteran blueliner has 13 points in 70 games this season. An update on his status could be available before Saturday's game in Montreal.

Makes impact Friday Gudbranson picked up an assist and added six blocked shots, four shots on net, two hits and a plus-1 rating in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken.

Impact The 31-year-old has been a blocked shot machine lately, recording multiple blocks in nine of the last 11 games and topping out at seven in a win over the Jets on Feb. 16. He's up to a career-high 125 blocked shots this season. Gudbranson was considered overpaid when he signed with Columbus this offseason on a four-year, $16 million deal, but coming out of the trade deadline, the stay-at-home defender is the only veteran voice left on a very young Blue Jackets blue line, and he should see big minutes the rest of the way.
