Dealing with hand issue Sillinger sustained an apparent hand injury at Thursday's practice, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

Impact Sillinger's injury is believed to be minor, but he was going for evaluation when head coach Dean Evason was talking to reporters. Expect the Blue Jackets to play it cautious with Sillinger, who is slated to fill a middle-six role this year. He may sit out Saturday's preseason finale versus the Capitals, and his status for Opening Night next Thursday against the Predators remains to be seen.

Two-point effort in finale Sillinger produced a goal and an assist in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Islanders.

Impact After a scoreless first period, Sillinger opened the scoring early in the second with a wicked wrister past Marcus Hogberg. The 21-year-old center didn't take a big step forward with his offensive output in 2024-25, managing 11 goals and a career-high 33 points in 66 appearances, but he should be entrenched as a middle-six forward next season on the Blue Jackets' young and rapidly improving roster.

Pots goal Saturday Sillinger scored a goal and went plus-3 in Saturday's 7-0 win over the Capitals.

Impact Sillinger stretched the Blue Jackets' lead to 6-0 at 5:14 of the second period. The 21-year-old hadn't scored since Feb. 2 -- he was limited to four assists over 14 games in that span and missed 11 contests due to a shoulder injury. That injury has derailed an otherwise solid campaign for the center, who has 10 goals, 31 points, 127 shots on net, 72 hits and a minus-12 rating over 63 appearances, one point shy of matching his career-best total from last season.

Nabs helper in return Sillinger logged an assist and three shots on goal in Friday's 7-6 shootout win over the Canucks.

Impact Sillinger returned from an 11-game absence due to a shoulder injury and picked up his assist in 14:50 of ice time. He was on the third line and also featured on the second power-play unit. The 21-year-old forward has reached the 30-point mark in three of his four NHL seasons, doing so with nine goals and 21 helpers in 2024-25. He's added 117 shots on net, 62 hits, 31 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating across 55 appearances, and he needs just three more points to set a career high.

Removed from IR Sillinger (shoulder), as expected, was activated off injured reserve, per the NHL media site, ahead of Friday's clash with Vancouver.

Impact Sillinger was medically cleared Wednesday but the team waited until closer to Friday's contest to officially remove him from IR. With the 21-year-old forward back in action, he figures to slot into a third-line role in addition to linking up with the No. 2 power-play unit. In his 54 appearances this year, the Columbus native has registered nine goals and 20 assists, including three points with the man advantage.

Could return Friday Sillinger (shoulder) has been medically cleared and could return to action against the Canucks on Friday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports Wednesday.

Impact Sillinger suffered a shoulder injury at the end of February and has been on injured reserve since March 4. However, head coach Dean Evason said Wednesday that Sillinger will be an option against the Canucks on Friday, signaling that the Blue Jackets will activate him from injured reserve ahead of the matchup, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports. Sillinger has made 54 appearances for Columbus this year, logging nine goals, 20 assists, 62 hits and 35 PIM while averaging 17:18 of ice time.

Lands on IR Sillinger (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact Sillinger's designation for injured reserve is essentially a formality after general manager Don Waddell told reporters Tuesday that the 21-year-old center is expected to miss several weeks due to his shoulder injury. The Blue Jackets activated Yegor Chinakhov from injured reserve in a corresponding move. Joseph LaBate and Mikael Pyyhtia could see more ice time as a result of Sillinger facing an extended absence.

Impact Sillinger is expected to miss most of March based on his recovery timeline. The 21-year-old center is just one point shy of reaching the 30-point threshold for the third time in his four-year NHL career. With the Columbus native on the shelf, Justin Danforth could see an uptick in ice time while filling a third-line role.

MARCH 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Set to miss time General manager Don Waddell announced Friday that Sillinger (upper body) "will be out for a little while," Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Impact Sillinger sustained an upper-body injury in the first period of Thursday's game against the Red Wings, and it appears as though he'll be forced to miss additional time. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but Mikael Pyyhtia will likely enter the lineup after he was called up Friday.

Sustains injury Thursday Sillinger (upper body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Red Wings.

Impact Sillinger was hurt in the first period of the contest. He should be considered day-to-day until the Blue Jackets provide another update. Sillinger is questionable to play in Saturday's Stadium Series game, which is a rematch against the Red Wings.

Contributes two helpers Saturday Sillinger notched two assists, two hits, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact This was Sillinger's first multi-point effort since Dec. 5. The 21-year-old center reached the 20-assist mark for the first time in his career, but he's still three points shy of matching his output from 2023-24 since he hasn't scored efficiently. He's at 29 points, 113 shots on net, 60 hits, 30 blocked shots, 35 PIM and a minus-14 rating over 52 appearances in 2024-25.

Scores again Sunday Sillinger scored a goal in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Stars.

Impact Sillinger has two goals, one assist and two shots on net over three games since he returned from an upper-body injury. The 21-year-old center is up to nine tallies, 26 points, 108 shots on net, 58 hits and a minus-14 rating over 48 appearances. He doesn't have a track record of maintaining offense over long stretches -- his current three-game point streak is his longest of the season -- but he's worth a look in fantasy while filling a second-line role.

Sets up overtime winner Sillinger logged an assist and two PIM in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over Utah.

Impact One day after scoring the game-winner in Vegas, Sillinger set up Zach Werenski's tally 1:01 into overtime against Utah. Sillinger is back in a top-six role after sitting out three games due to an upper-body injury. The 21-year-old center is up to 25 points, 107 shots on net, 58 hits, 33 PIM and a minus-13 rating over 47 appearances this season, giving him a good chance of surpassing his career-high 32 points from 2023-24.

Nets game-winner in return Sillinger scored the game-winning goal and blocked two shots in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Sillinger returned from a three-game absence due to an upper-body injury. He was a little sheltered in his return, playing just 15:54, but he was on the ice at the right time to bury a rebound 52 seconds into overtime. Sillinger had been limited to three points over 14 contests prior to his injury. The 21-year-old is at eight goals (two game-winners), 24 points, 107 shots on net, 57 hits, 27 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating over 46 appearances. He'll have a fairly safe role in the top six for a few weeks, as Sean Monahan (wrist) is likely to be out until mid-March.
