Elvis Merzlikins - Facing Panthers Merzlikins will defend the road net against Florida on Saturday, per Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.
Impact Merzlikins is coming off a 28-save performance in Thursday's 6-5 shootout win over Detroit. He has a 6-5-0 record with a 3.61 GAA and an .891 save percentage through 11 appearances this campaign. Florida ranks 21st in the league this season with 2.92 goals per game.

DECEMBER 6, 2025 • NHL.COM
Cole Sillinger - Helpers in consecutive contests Sillinger notched an assist and four shots on goal in Thursday's 6-5 shootout win over the Red Wings.
Impact Sillinger is stuck in a 16-game goal drought, but he's earned six assists in that span, including one in each of his last two outings. The 22-year-old is playing on the second line and second power-play unit, so he should continue to get chances to contribute. For the season, he's up to 11 points, 47 shots on net, 30 hits, 12 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-6 rating in 26 appearances.
DECEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Zach Werenski - Distributes three assists Werenski logged three assists, including two on the power play, and added two shots on net with a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-5 shootout win over the Red Wings.
Impact Werenski has logged multiple points in three straight games and six of his last nine outings. The 28-year-old blueliner set up one goal by Kirill Marchenko and two by Adam Fantilli in this high-scoring win. Werenski is up to 29 points (eight on the power play), 100 shots on net, 39 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating through 27 appearances. He remains among the most productive blueliners in the NHL.
DECEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Ivan Provorov - Buries goal in shootout win Provorov scored a goal on four shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 6-5 shootout win over the Red Wings.
Impact Provorov ended his 11-game goal drought with the tally. He had two assists, 18 shots on net and 21 blocks in that span. The 28-year-old continues to be a defensive stalwart for the Blue Jackets, though his hefty ice time (25:32 per game) hasn't led to an improvement on offense. He's at nine points, 55 shots on net, 42 blocks, 14 hits and a plus-5 rating across 27 appearances.
DECEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Kent Johnson - Finds twine Thursday Johnson scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 6-5 shootout win over the Red Wings.
Impact Johnson ended a 10-game point drought with the tally. The 23-year-old has seen second-line usage during the slump, though his ice time has often fluctuated. Fantasy managers counting on a repeat of his 57-point breakout from last year have been greatly disappointed -- he has just six points through 26 outings in 2025-26. He's added 46 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating over 26 outings, which is not a particularly useful level of production.
DECEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Kirill Marchenko - Scores in return Marchenko scored a power-play goal on four shots in Thursday's 6-5 shootout win over the Red Wings.
Impact Marchenko missed four games due to a knee injury, and he had gone eight contests before that without a goal. The 25-year-old is back in a top-line role, and he appears to have no limitations after logging 19:43 of ice time Thursday. The winger is at nine tallies, 23 points, 69 shots on net, 19 hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating through 23 contests, and he should continue to be one of the Blue Jackets' top forwards.

Panthers vs. Blue Jackets Prediction, Odds, Picks - Dec. 6
Boone Jenner - Not traveling on road trip Jenner (upper body) will not accompany the team on their upcoming three-game road trip, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports Friday.
Impact The Blue Jackets return home Dec. 11 versus Ottawa, and the hope is that Jenner can return at that time. Jenner has already missed 11 games, ahead of Saturday's tilt in Florida. Jenner has three goals, seven assists and 30 hits across 16 appearances in 2025-26.
DECEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Adam Fantilli - Ends scoring drought Fantilli scored two goals, including one on the power play, in Thursday's 6-5 shootout win over the Red Wings.
Impact Fantilli snapped a four-game scoring drought with his first two-goal performance since Nov. 20. The star center is up to 19 points (11 goals, eight assists) in 27 contests this season. He needs to produce a bit more consistently if he wants to best his 2024-25 numbers, when he racked up 54 points in the regular season. Fantilli should continue to have tons of opportunities to produce as long as he stays in a top-six role in the Blue Jackets' lineup.
DECEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Sean Monahan - Three assists in win Monahan recorded three assists, including two on the power play, in Thursday's 6-5 shootout win over the Red Wings.
Impact Monahan was coming off a two-goal performance in the 5-3 win over the Devils on Monday, and he took it one step further in this win -- this three-point haul was a season-high mark for him. Monahan is riding a three-game point streak with six points over that stretch, and the 31-year-old should remain a key contributor for the Blue Jackets. His hot streak of late has raised his numbers to 16 points in 27 contests.
DECEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Elvis Merzlikins - Earns win over Detroit Merzlikins stopped 28 of 33 shots in Thursday's 6-5 shootout win over the Red Wings.
Impact Merzlikins has won back-to-back starts for the second time this season, as he also went on a three-game winning streak between Oct. 21 and Oct. 29. This was the first time he made consecutive starts in 2025-26, and given his strong play of late, he might be in line to see more playing time in the future.
