Charlie Coyle - NHL News & Rumors

Three helpers in win over Buffalo Coyle racked up three assists, one on the power play, with two hits, a blocked shot and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Sabres.

Impact The 34-year-old wasn't expected to repeat his surprising 20-goal, 58-point campaign from 2025-26, but Coyle came out of the gates flying on the new season, setting up Cole Sillinger and Matthew Knies for first-period tallies before getting the puck to Mathieu Olivier for an empty-netter late in the third. Coyle will center the third line for Columbus as long as Sean Monahan stays healthy, not an ideal spot for offensive production, but he still featured on the top power-play unit Thursday.

Two points in preseason win over Wings Coyle scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 4-2 preseason win over Detroit.

Impact Both points came in the first period as the Blue Jackets never trailed in the contest. Coyle was handsomely rewarded with a six-year contract extension this offseason after producing 20 goals and 58 points over 82 regular-season games in 2025-26, but his ability to repeat those numbers could depend on Sean Monahan's ability to stay healthy and be an effective No. 2 center behind young star Adam Fantilli.

Grabs six-year deal Coyle agreed to terms on a six-year, $36 million contract with Columbus on Tuesday.

Impact Coyle played in all 82 regular-season games for the Jackets this year, racking up 20 goals and 38 helpers. With the 34-year-old center putting pen to paper on a six-year deal, this figures to be the final contract of his career, keeping him with the Jackets long term.

Snaps scoring drought Coyle scored two goals, including one on the power play, and took six shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens.

Impact Coyle had gone pointless in his previous five appearances, but he bounced back admirably here and posted a big game to lift the Blue Jackets to victory. This two-goal performance allowed Coyle to reach the 20-goal plateau just for the third time in his career -- and first since the 2023-24 campaign, when he had 25 goals across 82 regular-season contests with the Bruins. The Blue Jackets have two games left in the schedule, but Coyle is just two points away from matching his career-best mark in that category, which was the aforementioned season with Boston.

Tallies on power play Coyle scored a power-play goal and blocked three shots in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Bruins.

Impact Coyle's goal late in the first period stretched the Blue Jackets' lead to 3-0, but it didn't last. The 34-year-old was sizzling in early March, but his tally Sunday snapped a six-game skid. He's now at 18 goals, 56 points, 128 shots on net, 93 hits, 48 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 74 appearances. If Coyle can recapture the magic on offense, he's got enough time to earn just the second 60-point campaign of his career.
