GAME LOG
Ivan Provorov - Pots lone goal in loss Provorov scored a goal and went minus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Avalanche.
Impact Provorov is making an early impact on offense this season. He's on a three-game point streak (one goal, two helpers) after going scoreless in the season opener. He's added eight shots on net, seven blocked shots and a plus-2 rating across four appearances. Provorov doesn't hit a lot or rack up PIM, but he can offer a boost in blocks for fantasy managers who need help in that area.

Elvis Merzlikins - Faces a lot of rubber in loss Merzlikins made 32 saves in a 4-1 loss to Colorado on Thursday.
Impact He allowed three goals. Merzlikins and Jet Greaves are splitting starts right now, and both men have great save percentages (.920 for Elvis; .932 for Jet). Wins and GAA will be tough categories with Merzlikins, so use him in matchups as they present themselves.
OCTOBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Kirill Marchenko - Three-game, five-point streak Marchenko picked up an assist Thursday in a 4-1 loss to Colorado.
Impact Marchenko has five points (four goals, one assist) on a three-game point streak. He set up Ivan Provorov on a one-timer from the left circle to open the scoring early in the second period. Marchenko set a career high in points (74), goals (31) and assists (43) last season, so don't be surprised when he sets another new mark in 2025-26.

Elvis Merzlikins - Tending twine against Colorado Merzlikins will defend the home crease during Thursday's game against the Avalanche, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
Impact Merzlikins and Jet Greaves have alternated starts in net for the Blue Jackets early in the 2025-26 campaign, and that trend will continue Thursday. Merzlikins made his season debut against the Wild on Saturday, allowing four goals on 52 shots (.923 save percentage) en route to the 7-4 victory.

Miles Wood - Facing at least one week absence Wood (upper body) is expected to be sidelined for at least a week, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports Wednesday.
Impact Based on Wood's potential recovery timeline, he should be expected to miss at least the Jackets' next three games, though it could be longer. Prior to getting hurt, the 30-year-old winger registered one goal on four shots, two hits and two PIM in 7:58 of ice time per game. With Wood unavailable, Yegor Chinakhov is expected to make his season debut against Colorado on Thursday.

Ivan Provorov - Helpers in consecutive contests Provorov notched an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Devils.
Impact Provorov has a helper in each of the last two games, accounting for all of his offense through three contests. The 28-year-old blueliner is in a top-four role with time in all situations to begin the year, though he could eventually lose out on some power-play time to Denton Mateychuk. Provorov has added seven shots on net, six blocks and a plus-4 rating to begin 2025-26.
OCTOBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Dmitri Voronkov - Scores late in loss Voronkov scored a goal on five shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Devils.
Impact Voronkov created a little hope with a goal at 19:39 of the third period, but the Blue Jackets couldn't overcome Dawson Mercer's empty-netter from a few seconds earlier. Voronkov is off to an excellent start this season, earning two goals, two assists, eight shots on net, six hits and a plus-5 rating over three contests. He's seeing top-six minutes and some power-play time. The 25-year-old could have a breakout campaign after posting 23 goals and 47 points over 73 regular-season outings a year ago.

Kirill Marchenko - Finds back of net again Marchenko scored his fourth goal of the season on five shots on net in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Devils.
Impact The goal was an absolute beauty. With the Blue Jackets stuck in their own zone midway through the second period, Marchenko picked Jack Hughes' pocket at the blue line, skated the length of the ice for a clear breakaway and went top shelf on jake Allen (cramping). Only Vegas' Pavel Dorofeyev has scored more goals over the early part of the 2025-26 schedule than Marchenko, and after setting new career highs with 31 tallies and 74 points over 79 regular-season games last season, the 25-year-old winger may not have found his ceiling yet.
OCTOBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jet Greaves - Burned by Devils on Monday Greaves turned aside 25 of 27 shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to New Jersey, with the Devils' final goal getting scored into an empty net.
Impact The 24-year-old netminder played well, as both pucks to get past him came on Devils power plays, but he didn't get quite enough help from his teammates. Greaves is 0-2-0 in his first two starts of the season, but he's allowed just four goals on 59 shots as he continues the impressive form he showed at the end of 2024-25. Columbus is rolling with a timeshare in the crease for now between Elvis Merzlikins and Greaves, but it may not be long before the latter seizes the top job outright.
