Dante Fabbro - Empty-net goal in second game back Fabbro scored an empty-net goal and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Lightning.

Impact Fabbro missed a couple of games due to a lower-body injury, and this was his second contest back in the lineup. The 27-year-old was on the top pairing at even strength, though he remains without a power-play assignment. Fabbro has 10 points, 57 shots on net, 93 blocked shots, 53 hits and a minus-13 rating over 56 appearances this season, making him a poor option for most fantasy formats.

Elvis Merzlikins - Extinguishes Lightning on Tuesday Merzlikins made 16 saves in a 5-2 win over Tampa Bay on Tuesday. He put up an assist.

Impact Merzlikins was sharp all night. He had no chance on the first goal, which was a sharp tip over his left shoulder. The second came through a screen off a point shot. Merzlikins and Jet Greaves have been pretty much alternating starts since the end of January. If that pattern continues, Greaves will see time against Florida on Thursday and Merzlikins will be in net on Saturday. Wait for the official update on Thursday before setting your daily roster.

Sean Monahan - Heating up at right time Monahan delivered two assists in a 5-2 win over Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

Impact Monahan has six points in his last six games (two goals, four assists; 19 shots); he put up points in five of those six. It was his first two-point game since Jan. 8. Monahan's leadership is helping the team climb the standings; they are just two points out of a Wild Card spot.

Zach Werenski - Among league's top defenders Werenski tallied two assists in a 5-2 win over the Lightning on Tuesday.

Impact Both apples came on the power play. Werenski has three assists in his last two games; all three have come with the man advantage. The defender leads the Blue Jackets with 68 points (20 goals, 28 assists) in 57 games. He's second in the NHL in scoring from the blue line. But what makes his output this season is even more impressive is that Werenski started the season with just four points (one goals, three assists) in his first eight games. And his point-per-game production (1.19) is the NHL's best from the back end.

Kirill Marchenko - White hot for last six weeks Marchenko scored a power-play goal Tuesday in a 5-2 win over the Lightning.

Impact He buried a one-timer from the left circle past Andrei Vasilevskiy's blocker to put the Blue Jackets up 3-1. His goal stood as the winner. Marchenko's point streak stands at six games and nine points (four goals, five assists). He has at least one point in 11 of his last 12 games (six goals, nine assists; 30 shots). Marchenko leads Columbus with 24 goals and sits second in points (56) behind Zach Werenski (68).

It's the first time that Garland, who is 29, has recorded consecutive multi-goal games in the NHL. He got his get out of Vancouver free card at the deadline and has played just three games with Columbus.

Zach Werenski - Pockets power-play helper Werenski notched a power-play assist, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and a minus-4 rating in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings.

Impact Werenski missed three games due to an illness, so it may take some time for him to regain his strength. He's still a big factor in the Blue Jackets' system, both on offense and defense, so he'll continue to see significant ice time. The defenseman has 66 points (16 on the power play), 200 shots on net, 73 blocks and a plus-3 rating through 56 appearances.

Kirill Marchenko - Extends streak with power-play goal Marchenko scored a power-play goal on six shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings.

Impact Marchenko has three goals and five assists during his five-game point streak. He's earned three power-play points in that span, and 19 of his 55 points this season have come with the man advantage. The 25-year-old has 23 goals, 32 helpers, 171 shots on net, 44 hits, 31 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 57 appearances in a top-line role.

Denton Mateychuk - Two-point effort Monday Mateychuk scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings.

Impact Both points came in the second period as the Blue Jackets briefly grabbed their only lead of the game at 3-2. Mateychuk is having a strong start to March, producing a goal and four points in five games, but as long as Zach Werenski is healthy and dominating power-play time from the blue line, the younger defenseman's upside is capped. Through 56 games this season, Mateychuk has 10 goals and 26 points.

Conor Garland - Strikes twice in OT loss Garland scored two goals in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings.

Impact After going without a point in his Blue Jackets debut Saturday, Garland made a better impression on his new squad with tallies in the first and second periods. The 29-year-old winger snapped a 24-game goal drought with the performance, and a spot in the top six and on the second power-play unit could allow Garland to get to more consistent offense than he'd been able to deliver in Vancouver. On the season, he's managed nine goals and 28 points in 52 contests.

Jet Greaves - Comes up short in OT Greaves stopped 26 shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings.

Impact The 24-year-old netminder dealt with a lot of traffic in front of him, but he was able to battle enough to earn a point for the Blue Jackets. Greaves hasn't taken a regulation loss since Jan. 8, going 8-0-2 over his last 11 outings with a 2.55 GAA and .908 save percentage as Columbus makes a push for a playoff spot.
