Zach Aston-Reese - Pots goal Thursday Aston-Reese scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Sabres.
Impact After going 57 games without a goal earlier in the season, the 30-year-old has two tallies across his last four contests. Aston-Reese is holding onto a fourth-line spot to close out 2024-25, so don't expect much offense out of him. He's matched his career high of 17 points from 2018-19 while adding 100 shots on net, 174 hits, 56 blocked shots and a minus-15 rating over 76 appearances in 2024-25.
APRIL 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
James van Riemsdyk - Scores in Thursday's win Van Riemsdyk scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Sabres.
Impact Van Riemsdyk was scratch for four games between late March and early April. He's since been in the lineup for four straight contests, regaining a spot in the middle six, albeit without power-play time. The winger is up to 15 goals, 31 points, 76 shots on net, 30 hits and a minus-9 rating over 67 appearances this season. He's among six unrestricted free agent forwards on the roster heading into the summer, and it's unclear if the 35-year-old is in contention to be re-signed.
APRIL 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Boone Jenner - Scores game-winner on power play Jenner scored a power-play goal on six shots and added three hits in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Sabres.
Impact Jenner's tally at 6:42 of the third period gave the Blue Jackets' their first lead of the game, and it was enough for the win. Following his six-game point streak from March 21 to April 3, the 31-year-old entered a three-game slump before snapping it Thursday. He's up to seven goals, 19 points, 62 shots on net, 41 hits and a minus-2 rating across 22 appearances this season.

APRIL 11, 2025 • THEHOCKEYNEWS.COM
Jake Christiansen - Ruled out for Saturday's game Christiansen (upper body) has been ruled out for Saturday's home game against the Capitals, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
Impact The 25-year-old suffered an upper-body injury during Thursday's win over Buffalo, and while head coach Dean Evason doesn't yet have a timetable for Christiansen's return, he'll be unavailable for at least one game. The Blue Jackets have just three regular-season games remaining after Saturday's matchup, and it's not yet clear whether Christiansen will be able to suit up in any of those contests.
APRIL 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Elvis Merzlikins - Won't play Saturday Merzlikins (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup against the Capitals on Saturday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
Impact Head coach Dean Evason didn't provide a specific timeline for Merzlikins to get back into the crease, but at this point, it seems unlikely he would immediately jump back in for the second of a back-to-back against the Capitals on Sunday. Still, as long as the Jackets have an outside chance of making the postseason, they'll likely want to utilize their No. 1 netminder between the pipes. Jet Greaves got the starting nod in a win over Buffalo on Thursday, so Evason may have to consider going back to the 24-year-old Saturday.
APRIL 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jet Greaves - Impressive in Thursday's win Greaves made 39 saves in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Sabres.
Impact Buffalo jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period, but Greaves shut the door the rest of the way and gave his squad a chance to mount a comeback. The win was the 24-year-old goalie's first in the NHL since Jan. 11, but with the Blue Jackets' playoff hopes hanging by a thread and Elvis Merzlikins battling an undisclosed injury, coach Dean Evason may elect to see if Greaves can help spark a miracle finish to what's already been an improbable season. Columbus sits six points back of Montreal for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, with each team having four games left on its schedule.
