GAME LOG
Mathieu Olivier - Ready to rock Olivier (upper body) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup against the Islanders on Sunday, according to Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' offici...
Impact Based on Saturday's practice, Olivier will occupy a third-line role in his return from a 13-game absence. He has accounted for three goals, nine points, 29 shots on net, 19 blocked shots, 71 hits and 44 PIM across 23 appearances this season.
DECEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Zach Werenski - Not playing Sunday Werenski (lower body) won't play against the Islanders on Sunday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
Impact Werenski will miss his second straight game, and it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. He has amassed 14 goals, 40 points, 132 shots on net and 52 blocked shots across 35 appearances this season.

Isac Lundestrom - Hurt during practice Lundestrom (lower body) suffered an injury during Saturday's practice, and there was no update on his status, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
Impact Lundestrom had to be helped off the ice at Saturday's session. It's unclear if he will be available to play against the Islanders on Sunday. He has produced one goal, four assists, 30 shots on net, 16 blocked shots and 13 hits across 35 appearances this season.
DECEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Zach Werenski - Doubtful for Sunday Werenski (lower body) is unlikely to play Sunday against the Islanders, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
Impact Werenski missed morning skate Saturday, and is undergoing further evaluation after he was injured Saturday in Anaheim. The star defenseman had a five-game scoring streak before missing Monday's game in Los Angeles, tallying five goals and 10 points. Overall, Werenski has 14 goals, 26 assists, 132 shots on goal and 52 blocked shots across 35 appearances this season.
DECEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Brendan Gaunce - Available for Sunday Gaunce (personal) was activated from the non-roster list Friday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
Impact Gaunce will be eligible to play in Sunday's game versus the Islanders. The 31-year-old has earned four points over 12 appearances this season. His return to the Blue Jackets' active roster puts them at the maximum 23 players, though it's unclear if Gaunce will keep his spot once Mathieu Olivier (upper body) is ready to return.

DECEMBER 24, 2025 • CLEVELAND.COM
Damon Severson - Logs two power-play helpers Severson notched two power-play assists, three shots on goal and four PIM in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
Impact Severson has three helpers over the last four games. He's getting a bit better usage than usual to help cover the absence of Zach Werenski (lower body). Severson has earned 12 points (four on the power play), 42 shots on net, 28 hits, 35 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 36 appearances in a top-four role this year.
DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Kirill Marchenko - Strikes on power play Marchenko scored a power-play goal on two shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
Impact Marchenko's tally ended a four-game slide for the winger. The 25-year-old could see his ice time dip a bit after the Blue Jackets acquired Mason Marchment from the Kraken on Friday, but there should still be plenty of room for Marchenko to make a regular impact on offense. For the season, he's produced 11 goals, 27 points (11 on the power play), 94 shots on net, 28 hits and a plus-3 rating over 32 appearances.
DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Mason Marchment - Scores two PP goals Marchment scored two power-play goals in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
Impact Marchment came through every time the Blue Jackets needed him, and the left winger is enjoying an excellent start to his Columbus tenure with three goals in his first two games with the team. Expect Marchment to continue in a top-six role with Columbus, giving him plenty of opportunities to keep producing even if he's bound to regress in his scoring ways sooner rather than later.
DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jet Greaves - Excellent vs. Kings Greaves stopped 23 of 24 shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
Impact Greaves was beaten by Andrei Kuzmenko in the second period, but that would be the only goal he'd end up allowing in a dominant outing. This was a huge bounce-back performance for the 24-year-old netminder, who was coming off three straight outings with a save percentage below the .890 mark. On the season, Greaves owns a 9-9-5 record through 23 starts, posting a 2.69 GAA and a .906 save percentage.
DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Luca Del Bel Belluz - Returned to minors Del Bel Belluz was reassigned to AHL Cleveland on Tuesday.
Impact Del Bel Belluz was promoted under emergency conditions but with the Jackets off until Sunday's clash with the Islanders, the forward wasn't needed on the NHL roster anymore. Despite the demotion, the 22-year-old Ontario native could be brought back up prior to the clash with New York and fill out a bottom-six role for the club.

Mason Marchment scores 2 power-play goals, Kirill Marchenko adds 1 as Blue Jackets beat Kings 3-1

Mason Marchment scored two power-play goals, Kirill Marchenko had one, and the Columbus Blue Jackets beat the Los Angeles Kings 3-1
DECEMBER 23, 2025 • Associated Press
Mathieu Olivier - Making progress in recovery Olivier (upper body) is expected to join the team for Saturday's full practice, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
Impact Portzline relayed that it is unclear if Olivier will be cleared for contact Saturday, as the right-shot winger has mostly been skating on his own. The 28-year-old has previously joined the team for optional morning skates, so he's seemingly progressing toward making his return to the lineup. The Mississippi native has been out of action since Nov. 12. Olivier will probably serve on the third line once he receives the green light to suit up.
DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Miles Wood - Set to return Monday Wood (lower body) is expected to return to the lineup for Monday's game against the Kings, Dave Maetzold of FanDuel Sports Network reports.
Impact Wood missed Saturday's game against the Ducks due to his lower-body injury, but he'll be able to return to action following a minimal absence. Over nine appearances this month, he's logged two goals, two assists, 17 hits, four PIM and three blocked shots while averaging 14:47 of ice time.
DECEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jet Greaves - Patrolling crease versus Kings Greaves will defend the cage on the road against Los Angeles on Monday, Dave Maetzold of FanDuel Sports Network reports.
Impact Greaves has managed just one victory in his last nine outings, posting a 1-5-3 record despite a 2.85 GAA. Given his solid ratios, the 24-year-old backstop should continue to see the majority of the starts for Columbus, though the club may try to showcase Elvis Merzlikins in the hopes of securing a trade.
DECEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Zach Werenski - Not playing Monday Werenski (lower body) won't play against the Kings on Monday.
Impact Werenski is day-to-day and will miss at least one game after sustaining an injury in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Anaheim. He has accumulated 14 goals, 40 points, 132 shots on net and 52 blocked shots across 35 appearances this season. Due to Werenski's absence, Jake Christiansen will likely be in the lineup for Monday's contest.
