Cole Sillinger - Produces two assists Sillinger recorded two assists and two PIM in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Flyers.

Impact Sillinger has three points over his last two games. He went 10 contests without a point over the bulk of January, so this return to form on offense is a positive, though he remains in a third-line role with no power-play time. The 22-year-old is now at six goals, 17 helpers, 89 shots on net, 64 hits and a plus-1 rating through 51 contests. He's on pace for a career high in points, sitting just 10 back of matching his previous high-water mark from 2024-25.

Zach Werenski - Supplies two more helpers Werenski notched two assists and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Flyers.

Impact Werenski had a hand in first-period goals by Charlie Coyle and Kirill Marchenko. January has been another excellent month for Werenski, who has five goals, 12 assists and 40 shots on net over 13 outings this month. He's up to a total of 57 points, leading all NHL defensemen, as well as 172 shots on net, 62 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 48 appearances.

Erik Gudbranson - Pots first goal of season Gudbranson scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Flyers.

Impact Gudbranson has three points over six games since he returned from a hip injury. The 34-year-old defenseman has reclaimed a significant shutdown role on the blue line for Columbus, and he should be a regular in the lineup as long as he avoids further injuries. He's produced three points, 11 shots on net, 16 hits, 13 blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-1 rating over 10 outings this season.

Sean Monahan - Scores game-winner Wednesday Monahan scored a goal in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Flyers.

Impact Monahan's tally answered the game-tying goal by Travis Konecny late in the third period. The 31-year-old Monahan has three goals on five shots over his last four contests. That's not a sustainable scoring pace, but it looks like the center may be finding his rhythm a bit. He's now at nine goals, 25 points, 77 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 48 appearances this season.

Kirill Marchenko - Finds twine in win Marchenko scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Flyers.

Impact Marchenko has three goals and six assists over his last eight outings. The winger gave the Blue Jackets a 2-1 lead late in the first period. Marchenko continues to be one of the team's most consistent scorers with 19 goals, 44 points, 149 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over 48 appearances this season. He's a safe fantasy option since he's locked into a top-line role.

Mathieu Olivier - Secures pair of points Olivier scored an empty-net goal on two shots, added an assist, went plus-2 and logged three hits in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Flyers.

Impact Olivier earned his first multi-point effort since Nov. 13 versus the Oilers. The winger has just four points across 13 outings in January while seeing consistent time on the third line. For the season, he's up to five goals, 13 points, 49 shots on net, 145 hits, 62 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 39 contests. He's unlikely to match his 32-point output from 2024-25, but he should be able to top the 20-point mark if he stays healthy.

Charlie Coyle - Goal, assist in win Coyle scored a goal, dished an assist and added two hits in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Flyers.

Impact Coyle was honored in a pregame ceremony for reaching 1,000 career appearances last week, and he celebrated by scoring just 38 seconds into the game. The 33-year-old is locked in right now with six goals and four helpers over his last eight outings. for the season, Coyle has 12 goals, 23 assists, 85 shots on net, 71 hits, 33 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 52 appearances in a middle-six role.

Elvis Merzlikins - Gets win over Flyers Merzlikins stopped 24 of 27 shots in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Flyers.

Impact Merzlikins was originally scheduled to start Monday versus the Kings before that game was postponed due to severe winter weather. The extra time off didn't hurt Merzlikins, as he picked up his third win in four outings despite giving up a hat trick to Travis Konecny in this contest. Merzlikins is now 9-8-1 with a 3.76 GAA and an .882 save percentage over 19 starts this season. The Blue Jackets have a road back-to-back up next with games in Chicago on Friday and St. Louis on Saturday. Expect Merzlikins and Jet Greaves to split those starts.

Dante Fabbro - Healthy, likely to be scratched Fabbro (lower body) is ready to return, but he's expected to be a healthy scratch Wednesday versus Philadelphia, according to Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.

Impact Fabbro has three goals, seven points, 16 PIM, 48 shots, 42 hits and 81 blocks in 48 appearances in 2025-26. The Blue Jackets have won their past two games, which might be why Fabbro needs to wait before getting an opportunity to return to the lineup. The 27-year-old typically serves on the third pairing when he is utilized.

Elvis Merzlikins - Exits ice first Wednesday Merzlikins was the first goalie to leave the ice Wednesday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports, indicating he'll guard the cage at home versus the Flyers.

Impact Marzlikins was originally expected to be in the crease for Monday's matchup with the Kings before the game was postponed, so it looks like the Jackets will maintain their current goalie plan. With a back-to-back versus Chicago and St. Louis on Friday and Saturday, respectively, Merzlikins figures to split those two contests with Jet Greaves.
