Alex Nylander - Bright spot in Thursday's lossNylander scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
ImpactPlaying his third game since being acquired from the Penguins in the Emil Bemstrom deal, Nylander collected his first points as a Blue Jacket and scored his second career power-play tally in the third period with a shot that eluded Spencer Martin. The talent that made Nylander the eighth overall pick in the 2016 Draft has never shown up consistently in the NHL, but it appears as though he'll get a long look in a prominent role with the Jackets.

Daniil Tarasov - Sunk by CanesTarasov turned aside 28 of 31 shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to Carolina, with the Hurricanes' final goal coming into an empty net.
ImpactThe 24-year-old netminder kept Carolina off the board in the first period, but once Teuvo Teravainen snuck a soft one past Tarasov just 53 seconds into the second period, things got away from Columbus. He's lost four of his last five starts, posting a 3.17 GAA and .901 save percentage over that stretch, and while the Jackets will keep him in the mix, Tarasov isn't putting much pressure on Elvis Merzlikins for the No. 1 job.

Brady Skjei - Two points including GWGSkjei scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Thursday's 4-2 victory over the Blue Jackets.
ImpactBoth points came in the second period as the Hurricanes blew open what had been a scoreless game after the first frame. Skjei is closing in on a career-best season with 33 points (eight goals, 25 assists) through 60 contests -- his previous best was 39 points, a mark he reached in both 2016-17 and 2021-22.
