Damon Severson - Pockets assist after absence Severson logged an assist and two blocked shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact Severson missed one game due to an illness, and he snapped a five-game slump in his return to the lineup. The 31-year-old appeared to have no limitations in his return to a top-four role. For the season, he's produced three goals, 18 points, 59 shots on net, 50 blocked shots, 31 hits and 26 PIM over 46 outings.

Charlie Coyle - Reaches 30-point mark Coyle scored a power-play goal on eight shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact Coyle opened the scoring at 17:25 of the first period, and the Blue Jackets' lead was never threatened. The 33-year-old has four goals, including two on the power play, and one assist over his last three outings, and he's added 18 shots in that span. For the season, the center is up to 10 goals, 30 points (five on the power play), 79 shots on net, 64 hits, 29 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. He's playing a bigger game than his third-line role would suggest, giving him a chance to exceed the 50-point mark for the third time in his career.

Zach Werenski - Tallies on power play Werenski scored a power-play goal on five shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact Werenski has earned four goals and seven assists over eight outings in January. His last two goals have come with the man advantage, where he continues to see ample time on the first unit. The star defenseman is up to 18 goals, 51 points, 160 shots on net, 58 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 43 appearances.

Kirill Marchenko - Two points against Vancouver Marchenko scored the game-winning goal at even strength and added a power-play assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact The 25-year-old winger had a hand in the Blue Jackets' first two goals of the night, helping to set up Charlie Coyle in the first period before giving his squad a 2-0 lead early in the second. Marchenko has gotten onto the scoresheet in three straight games and 10 of the last 12, racking up seven goals and 14 points over that stretch.

Kent Johnson - Two-point effort Thursday Johnson scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact The 23-year-old winger had managed just one point, a goal, over the prior 11 games, but Johnson made an impact Thursday by feeding Zach Werenski in the second period for Columbus' third goal before wrapping up the scoring himself midway through the third. Johnson's power-play point was his first of the season, and after a rough beginning to the campaign under former coach Dean Evason, the fifth overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft seems to be getting more opportunities under Rick Bowness, skating on the top PP unit in each of the last two games.

Elvis Merzlikins - Sharp in Thursday's win Merzlikins stopped 30 shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact Brock Boeser got a puck past Merzlikins on a Vancouver power play late in the second period, but otherwise the veteran netminder had an answer for everything the Canucks fired at him. It was Merzlikins' first win since Dec. 4, and on the season he's gone 7-7-1 with a rough 3.84 GAA and .882 save percentage, falling firmly behind Jet Greaves on the Columbus depth chart in the process.

Denton Mateychuk - Projected to be out Thursday Mateychuk is slated to miss Thursday's game versus the Canucks, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Impact Mateychuk's second evaluation results haven't been revealed, but it looks like he'll need to miss a second contest. The Blue Jackets will get a boost on defense with the return of Erik Gudbranson (hip) and Damon Severson (illness). Once cleared to play, Mateychuk will have a little more competition for top-four minutes.

Dysin Mayo - Sent down Thursday Mayo was loaned to AHL Cleveland on Thursday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Impact Mayo was called up by Columbus on Tuesday, but he'll head back to the minors after Erik Gudbranson (hip) was activated off injured reserve Thursday. Mayo has made three appearances for the Blue Jackets this year, recording an assist and a blocked shot while averaging 8:24 of ice time.

Damon Severson - Set to return against Vancouver Severson (illness) is available for Thursday's game against the Canucks, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Impact Severson missed Tuesday's game against Calgary due to an illness, but he'll be back in action following a minimal absence. Across his last 11 appearances, he's recorded a goal, seven assists, 16 blocked shots, 10 PIM and four hits while averaging 20:55 of ice time.

Elvis Merzlikins - Gets starting nod Thursday Merzlikins will defend the home cage versus Vancouver on Thursday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

Impact Merzlikins will make a rare start as he has played only once since Dec. 22, a span of 11 games, as Jet Greaves has been the undisputed No. 1 goaltender in Columbus of late. Merzlikins is 6-7-1 this season with a 4.03 GAA and an .877 save percentage across 15 appearances. The Canucks are generating 2.63 goals per game, 27th in the NHL this season.

Erik Gudbranson - Coming off IR Gudbranson (hip) will be activated off injured reserve ahead of Thursday's clash with Vancouver, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Impact Gudbranson looks poised to play for the first time since Oct. 25 versus the Penguins. Even with his activation, the veteran blueliner is far from a lock to play on a nightly basis and could periodically serve as a healthy scratch. In order to clear a roster spot for Gudbranson, Dysin Mayo will likely be shipped back to the minors.

Jake Christiansen - Grabs helper in win Christiansen notched an assist and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Flames.

Impact Christiansen had been scratched for the previous three games. The absences of Damon Severson (illness) and Denton Mateychuk (upper body) opened the door for Christiansen to get back in on the third pairing, though it's likely to be a short-term bump in playing time. With Egor Zamula jumping into a bottom-four role immediately, Christiansen's playing time is likely to remain low. This was Christiansen's second helper of the season to go with 18 shots on net, 18 hits, 15 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 27 outings.

Dante Fabbro - Tallies in Tuesday's win Fabbro scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Flames.

Impact Fabbro went a month between points, posting a minus-7 rating, 20 hits, 17 blocked shots and 10 shots on net during a 13-game drought. The 27-year-old defenseman saw an increased role for the second contest in a row as he helps the Blue Jackets deal with the absences of Denton Mateychuk (upper body) and Damon Severson (illness). Fabbro has just seven points with 46 shots on net, 41 hits, 78 blocks and a minus-16 rating across 46 appearances this season.
