Isac Lundestrom - NHL News & Rumors

Set to miss start of season Lundestrom will be out until at least early November after having offseason Achilles surgery, according to Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers on Sunday.

Impact Lundestrom contributed four goals, eight assists, 53 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and 35 hits across 68 games during the 2025-26 regular season.

Lundestrom's absence could also help Luca Del Bel Belluz earn a roster spot with the Blue Jackets out of training camp.

Impact Luddestrom is currently mired in a seven-game goal drought during which he recorded just one shot. Filling a fourth-line role, the 26-year-old center hasn't produced enough offensive value or category coverage to make him more than a low-end fantasy option this season.

Gets helper in return to lineup Lundestrom notched an assist in Thursday's 1-0 win over the Stars.

Impact Lundestrom missed 12 games due to a lower-body injury and was a healthy scratch Tuesday versus the Senators despite being activated from injured reserve ahead of that contest. The 26-year-old checked back in on the fourth line Thursday, replacing Brendan Gaunce at center. Lundestrom has six points, 30 shots on net, 17 hits and 16 blocked shots over 36 appearances this season.

Taken off injured reserve Lundestrom (lower body) was activated off injured reserve ahead of Tuesday's clash with Ottawa.

Impact Where Lundestrom fits into the lineup remains to be seen, but he's far from a lock to play on a nightly basis even with his injury concerns behind him. In 35 appearances this year, the 26-year-old Swede has generated just one goal, four assists and 30 shots. As such, Lundestrom's return is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy managers.

Won't play Sunday Lundestrom (lower body) won't suit up for Sunday's contest against the Islanders, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Impact Lundestrom suffered a lower-body injury in the first practice out of the holiday break Saturday, and it's serious enough to keep him out of Sunday's contest. It remains to be seen if he'll be available for the team's next contest on Monday. The 26-year-old has one goal and four assists in 35 games on the season in a mostly bottom-six, penalty-killing role with the team.

Pots first Columbus goal in OT loss Lundestrom scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Panthers.

Impact After helping to set up a Miles Wood tally in the second period, Lundestrom completed a nifty back-and-forth passing play with his linemate in the third to score his first goal in a Columbus jersey. The multi-point performance was also Lundestrom's first of the season, and the bottom-six forward has just five points in 27 games so far in 2025-26 while chipping in 20 shots on net, 14 blocked shots, 10 hits and a minus-1 rating.

Adds helper in win Lundestrom posted an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Monday's 5-3 win over the Devils.

Impact Lundestrom looked to be at risk of heading to the press box regularly in early November after one scratch, but the Blue Jackets have had enough injuries lately to keep him active. He saw a season-high 16:28 of ice time Monday and snapped a 15-game point drought with the helper. On the year, the 26-year-old defensive forward has three assists, 18 shots on net, 13 blocked shots, 10 hits and a minus-1 rating through 25 appearances. Fantasy managers can do better than that when looking on the waiver wire.
