Erik Gudbranson - NHL News & Rumors

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.

Picks up helper Gudbranson notched an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Penguins.

Impact This was Gudbranson's second game back from a long-term hip injury. The defenseman has a helper, five shots on net, six PIM, 10 hits and three blocked shots over six appearances this season. Injuries have limited him to just 22 games since the start of 2024-25, but if he can stay healthy, he'll be a defensive stalwart in the bottom four for the remainder of the campaign.

Coming off IR Gudbranson (hip) will be activated off injured reserve ahead of Thursday's clash with Vancouver, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Impact Gudbranson looks poised to play for the first time since Oct. 25 versus the Penguins. Even with his activation, the veteran blueliner is far from a lock to play on a nightly basis and could periodically serve as a healthy scratch. In order to clear a roster spot for Gudbranson, Dysin Mayo will likely be shipped back to the minors.

Remains out Gudbranson (hip) will remain out of the lineup when the Blue Jackets face Toronto on Wednesday, per Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch.

Impact Gudbranson hasn't played since Oct. 25, and he might not be close to returning. When he is available, Gudbranson will be an option for the third pairing, but there's no guarantee he'll consistently be in the lineup.

Placed on injured reserve Gudbranson (hip) was put on injured reserve Thursday.

Impact Gudbranson has missed five consecutive games with the injury and has only seen action in four contests this season. He has yet to pick up a point and has five hits and six PIM. The Blue Jackets recalled Luca Del Bel Belluz in a corresponding move.

NOVEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined Wednesday Gudbranson (hip) will not be in the lineup to face the Flames on Wednesday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Impact Gudbranson is with the team for its four-game road trip, which is certainly a step in the right direction for the defenseman. The Jackets are also at risk of missing Denton Mateychuk (undisclosed) against Calgary, which means Dysin Mayo could be in line to make his season debut. Once given the all-clear, the veteran Gudbranson should slot into the third pairing, where he'll feature as more of a shutdown defender than an offensive dynamo.

NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out of weekend games Gudbranson (hip) will miss weekend games against St. Louis and the Islanders, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports Saturday.

Impact Gudbranson has already missed two games this week with the injury. The 33-year-old blueliner has five hits and one blocked shot in four games this season. The Blue Jackets recalled Dustin Mayo Thursday to take Gudbranson's spot on the roster.

NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Gudbranson sat out Tuesday's game against the Sabres after experiencing hip soreness during warmups, and he'll remain sidelined for the second half of the back-to-back set. Jake Christiansen will remain in the lineup Wednesday, while Gudbranson's next opportunity to play will be Saturday against the Blues.

Out Tuesday Gudbranson (hip) won't play Tuesday versus the Sabres, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Impact Gudbranson experienced hip soreness during warmups and won't play. He recently missed four games due to a lower-body injury, and it's unclear if these issues are related. His status for Wednesday versus the Maple Leafs has yet to be determined. Jake Christiansen will play in place of Gudbranson.

OCTOBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ready to rock Gudbranson (lower body) will return to the lineup Friday versus Washington, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

OCTOBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Monday Gudbranson (upper body) won't play against New Jersey on Monday, according to Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.

Impact Gudbranson suffered the injury in Saturday's 7-4 win over Minnesota, and it's unclear how long he will be out of action. The 33-year-old Gudbranson didn't participate in Monday's morning skate, and he will be replaced in the lineup by Jake Christiansen.

OCTOBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves with upper-body injury Gudbranson is being checked for an upper-body injury after leaving Saturday's game versus the Wild in the third period, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Impact Gudbranson's status should be updated prior to Monday's game versus the Devils. The 33-year-old blueliner hasn't recorded a point in two appearances so far this season. If he's forced to miss time, Jake Christiansen is available to enter the lineup, though the Blue Jackets may want a right-shot defenseman available to fill the gap.
