The Columbus Blue Jackets host the Calgary Flames after the Blue Jackets knocked off the Utah Mammoth 3-2 in overtime

Danton Heinen - Secures first point with new team Heinen posted an assist and two hits in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.

Impact Heinen has played in five of six games since he was called up from AHL Cleveland following a December trade with the Penguins. The helper was Heinen's first point as a Blue Jacket, giving him three points, 19 shots on net, 25 hits, 13 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 18 appearances season. The 30-year-old will compete with Mikael Pyyhtia and Zach Aston-Reese for fourth-line minutes.

Adam Fantilli - Pockets power-play helper Fantilli notched a power-play assist, three shots on goal, three hits and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.

Impact Fantilli has lacked the finishing touch for a few weeks, but his helper Sunday was his sixth over the last 12 games. The 21-year-old center is seeing steady top-six minutes and has 32 shots on net during his goal drought, so it's only a matter of time before his luck turns around. For the season, he's up to 28 points (five on the power play), 120 shots on net, 53 hits, 29 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating over 45 appearances.

Kirill Marchenko - Earns pair of power-play assists Marchenko notched two power-play assists, four shots on goal, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.

Impact Marchenko had a hand in the tying goal by Charlie Coyle and the game-winner by Dmitri Voronkov. Through six outings in January, Marchenko has picked up two goals and four assists, continuing a hot stretch that started in late December. The winger is up to a total of 16 goals, 21 helpers, 13 power-play points, 131 shots on net, 34 hits, 26 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 41 contests this season.

Mikael Pyyhtia - Tallies first NHL goal of season Pyyhtia scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.

Impact This was Pyyhtia's third game with the Blue Jackets this season, and the goal was his first point so far. The forward has added five shots on net, two blocked shots and a minus-1 rating while logging fourth-line minutes. Pyyhtia posted 22 points over 23 outings with AHL Cleveland prior to this call-up, though he'll likely have to compete with Danton Heinen and Zach Aston-Reese while with the big club.

Charlie Coyle - Nets power-play tally Coyle scored a power-play goal on three shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.

Impact Coyle snapped a five-game point drought with the goal. The 33-year-old has seen steady usage as a middle-six center this season, and he's also commanding a spot on the first power-play unit. That assignment is where he's earned four of his 26 points this season, though his goal Sunday was his first with the man advantage. He's at seven tallies, 19 helpers, 64 shots on net, 64 hits, 27 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 45 appearances.

Dmitri Voronkov - Cashes in on power play in overtime Voronkov scored a power-play goal on three shots, added two PIM, logged two hits and blocked two shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.

Impact Voronkov had gone a couple of games without a point before breaking the short slump at a great time. He scored 1:01 into the extra session to secure the win for Columbus with his 16th goal -- and first game-winner -- of the season. The 25-year-old is up to 29 points, 90 shots on net, 51 PIM, 72 hits, 20 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 45 appearances. He's still playing in a third-line role, so his usage will be important to monitor for those fantasy managers who want to benefit from his all-around upside.

Jet Greaves - Gets back in win column Greaves stopped 25 of 27 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.

Impact Greaves had lost four of his last five outings, but a breather Saturday appears to have done him some good. He was able to limit the Mammoth to two goals, scoring 4:42 apart between the late first period and early second frame. All of Greaves' last five wins have come when he limits an opponent to two goals or less. The 24-year-old netminder is up to 13-12-6 with a 2.71 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 31 appearances this season. He should still see a majority of the starts over Elvis Merzlikins, but it'll be important for the Blue Jackets to build in some rest for Greaves to keep his performance on track. The team's next game is at home Tuesday versus the Flames.

Denton Mateychuk - Set to be evaluated Monday Head coach Dean Evason said after Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth that Mateychuk (upper body) will be evaluated Monday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Impact Mateychuk played just one shift during Sunday's victory before exiting the game. If the left-shot blueliner is sidelined for Tuesday's home matchup against the Flames, Jake Christiansen will draw back into the lineup.

Denton Mateychuk - Status in question Mateychuk (upper body) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Mammoth.

Impact Mateychuk sustained his upper-body injury in the opening frame of Sunday's game in Utah. If the 2022 first-round pick is unable to return, Egor Zamula will probably receive an uptick in work on the blue line.
