Zach Werenski - NHL News & Rumors

Home scoring streak at 15 games Werenski picked up two assists Saturday in a 6-4 win over the Blues.

Impact Werenski extended his home point streak to 15 games (nine goals, 21 assists). His stretch pass to Adam Fantilli early in the third was flat-out filthy -- he fired it from behind his own net and laid a perfect bounce off the right-wing boards to Fantilli, who was at the St. Louis blue line. Werenski sits second in the NHL in scoring from the blue line with 45 points in 40 games and second in goals (12), too. He's having a Norris caliber season; let's hope voters don't overlook him because of his jersey.

Three-point effort Thursday Werenski produced a goal on eight shots while adding two assists, four blocked shots, one hit, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Red Wings.

Impact It was another big performance for the 27-year-old blueliner, who nearly single-handedly kept the Blue Jackets in the game after they fell behind 3-1 in the first period. Werenski has three multi-point efforts in the last five games, a stretch in which he's erupted for a goal and 11 points, and on the season he's already amassed 12 goals and 43 points in 39 appearances as he roars toward a career-best campaign.

Huge workload in shootout win Werenski produced a power-play assist while adding a game-high 11 shots on net in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Hurricanes.

Impact The veteran blueliner saw an incredible 30:07 of ice time, and that was on a night when coach Dean Evason elected to go with 11 forwards and seven defensemen. Werenski scored a career-high 57 points (11 goals, 46 assists) in 2023-24 over 70 games, but he's on pace to shatter that mark in 2024-25. Through 38 appearances, he's already amassed 11 goals and 40 points, and his 145 shots on net puts him fifth in the NHL and first among all defenseman, behind only David Pastrnak (156), Brady Tkachuk (150), Nathan MacKinnon (148) and Jack Hughes (147). With the Blue Jackets surprisingly within striking distance of a playoff spot, Werenski is positioning himself to garner Norris Trophy votes at the end of the season.

Managing leg injury Werenski's status for Monday's game against the Canadiens is in question due to a left leg injury, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

Following Monday's game, the Blue Jackets will have three days off due to the league's Christmas break, so he could sit against Montreal to give himself extra time to rest.
