Sean Kuraly - Initial tests encouragingKuraly (abdomen) was discharged from the hospital Saturday after initial testing came back clear, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
ImpactIt's an encouraging development after Kuraly needed to be helped off the ice Saturday against Toronto. The veteran center has six goals and 11 points through 34 games this season. If Kuraly does miss time following the holiday break, Mathieu Olivier would likely slot back into the lineup in a bottom-six capacity.

Justin Danforth - Sets new career point markDanforth scored the Blue Jackets only goal Saturday in a 4-1 loss to the Maple Leafs.
ImpactHe tied it 1-1 at 22 seconds of the second period on a partial breakaway set up by Johnny Gaudreau. Danforth has 15 points, including eight goals, in 35 games. That's a new career mark. It's not enough to make Danforth fantasy relevant, but it's a dream come true for the 30-year-old, who has just 86 NHL games to his name.

Daniil Tarasov - NHL's best sniper picks him apartTarasov made 26 saves in a 4-1 loss to Toronto on Saturday.
ImpactPoor guy. Auston Matthews scored twice. He's the league's leader in snipes. And Leafs powerhouses William Nylander and John Tavares also scored. The former is fourth in the NHL in scoring; the latter is firing away at a point-per-game pace. Tarasov didn't stand a chance against firepower like that, and it didn't help that he had almost no offensive help from his teammates. But even with support, Tarasov isn't ready for fantasy faith yet. He is 1-2-0 in three starts with a 4.39 GAA and .852 save percentage. You can't stay in the NHL with data points like that.
