Nets two goals in Monday's win Voronkov scored two goals in Monday's 4-3 shootout win against the Canucks.

Impact Voronkov ended up with a plus-1 rating, a game-high nine shots on goal, two blocked shots and a hit in 15:28 of ice time while winning three of his seven faceoff attempts. It was his first two-goal game in the NHL, and he snapped a four-game scoreless drought and six-game goal drought in the process. His time was the highest since Dec. 21. Despite the big game, Voronkov is still best limited to deeper fantasy pools.

Dishes pair of assists Voronkov recorded two assists, three shots on goal and two hits in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blues.

Impact Voronkov helped out on goals by linemates Kirill Marchenko and Yegor Chinakhov. That trio has generally been effective, but Voronkov entered the contest on a three-game point drought. This game was his first career multi-point effort. The 23-year-old is up to five goals, nine helpers, 31 shots on net, 23 hits, 23 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 23 outings. He may have some appeal in deeper fantasy formats for his solid offense and physical play.

Impact Voronkov has picked up a helper in each of the last three games. The 23-year-old forward set up an Adam Fantilli tally in the second period. Voronkov is up to two goals, five helpers, nine shots on net, nine hits, 15 PIM and a plus-3 rating through nine contests. While he's not shooting much, he's getting involved enough with offense and physical play to be a useful forward in deeper fantasy formats.

Strong start to career continues Voronkov scored his second goal of the season in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Capitals.

Impact He was the only Blue Jacket to solve a red-hot Charlie Lindgren, as the big Russian tipped home a Kirill Marchenko shot early in the second period. Voronkov has four points in five games to kick-start his NHL career while adding five shots on net, three hits, four blocked shots, nine PIM and a plus-2 rating, and his ability to provide an imposing net-front presence has earned him a spot on Columbus' second power-play unit.

Notches first NHL goal Voronkov scored his first NHL goal in Monday's 5-3 road loss against the Stars.

Impact Voronkov scored on his only shot of the game at 4:37 of the first period with help from Cole Sillinger and Kent Johnson, leveling the score at 1-1. Since making his NHL debut against the Canadiens last Thursday, Voronkov has a goal and an assist with nine PIM over three games. The Blue Jackets are back on the ice Thursday against the Lightning.

Picks up helper in NHL debut Voronkov collected a power-play assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

Impact The big-bodied Russian was called up from AHL Cleveland on Monday, and he immediately made an impact in his NHL debut by getting into a fight in the first period before helping to set up Emil Bemstrom's second tally of the night in the second. Voronkov finished the game with nine PIM in total along with one hit, and while there are still questions about his skating, the 23-year-old appears more than willing to contribute with his physical presence.

Recalled from minors Voronkov was recalled from AHL Cleveland on Monday.

Impact In a corresponding move, Patrik Laine (upper body) was placed on injured reserve. Voronkov has one assist in four AHL outings this season. It's unclear at this time if the 23-year-old forward will get a chance to make his NHL debut.

Sent to AHL Voronkov was assigned to AHL Cleveland on Monday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 23-year-old center was always likely to begin the season in the AHL due to the Blue Jackets' roster crunch at forward, but Voronkov has a clause in his contract that says he can return to the KHL if he's not on an NHL roster by the end of December. As a result, he could be one of the first players called up if injuries hit the Columbus roster.

Out clause in contract Voronkov has a clause in his contract that would allow him to return to the KHL if he's not on an NHL roster by the end of December, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 23-year-old center measured at a massive 6-foor-5, 240 pounds in training camp with the Blue Jackets and could give them a physical presence in a bottom-six role, but the team's depth at forward could also cause Voronkov to begin the season with AHL Cleveland. GM Jarmo Kekalainen believes he'll make the Opening Night roster, however. "I'll say this... when he's in front of the net trying to screen the goalie, I kinda like his size right now," Kekalainen said this weekend.
