Timeline extended Monahan (wrist) is not expected back until late March, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports Tuesday.

Impact Monahan has been skating for a while, which should help him hit the ground running once his wrist injury is healed. Once given the all-clear, the 30-year-old center should reclaim a top-six role for the Jackets in addition to linking back up with one of the power-play units. Until then, Adam Fantilli will continue to see big minutes on the first line.

Blue Jackets' Kirill Marchenko out indefinitely with broken jaw after being struck by puck

The Columbus Blue Jackets will have to continue their playoff push without forward Kirill Marchenko, who is out indefinitely after having surgery to repair a broken jaw

Suffers setback Monahan (wrist) is expected to be out until mid-March after recently suffering a setback in his recovery, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Blue Jackets are now set to end up missing their top center for upwards of two months. Monahan has already missed eight games, and Adam Fantilli has thrived on the top line in his steady, but the team's depth has been tested. Monahan had played at a point-per-game pace with 41 points over 41 contests prior to his injury.

Out at least two weeks Monahan will wear a brace on his injured wrist for two weeks before being reevaluated, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports Tuesday.

Impact Given this news, it appears Monahan could return prior to the 4 Nations Face-Off, with a late January or early February timeline. Prior to getting hurt, the veteran center was absolutely red hot with points in seven of his last nine outings, including five multi-point efforts. Over that stretch, the Ontario native put up five goals and 11 helpers, with five of those points coming with the man advantage. For now, Adam Fantilli will get the first crack at a top-line role, though Cole Sillinger could also be in contention.

Has wrist sprain Monahan's wrist isn't fractured, but he's dealing with a sprain. The severity of his injury hasn't been determined, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports Friday.

Impact Monahan was placed on injured reserve after sustaining the injury during Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over Pittsburgh and is expected to be unavailable for at least 7-10 days. However, he might end up missing longer than that depending on the grade of his wrist sprain. Monahan is waiting for the swelling to go down before undergoing the tests necessary to get that information. In the meantime, Luca Del Bel Belluz is up from the minors and is expected to serve in a middle-six capacity during Monahan's absence.

Placed on IR Monahan (wrist) was designated for injured reserve Thursday.

Impact Monahan's placement on IR will see him miss at least the next three games, though it will likely be longer considering general manager Don Waddell told reporters Wednesday that the 30-year-old center would miss time. With Monahan on the shelf, Adam Fantilli could get the first crack at replacing him on the top line while Owen Sillinger was called up from the minors to bolster the Jackets' forward ranks.

Dealing with wrist injury Monahan will miss time with a wrist injury per general manager Don Waddell, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

Impact A specific timeline was not announced, but Waddell said he hoped Monahan wouldn't be out for a long time. Luca Del Bel Belluz was called up from AHL Cleveland and is likely to slot into a bottom-six role during Monahan's absence, but Adam Fantilli is expected to see the biggest bump in playing time. Monahan has been a point-per-game player (14 goals, 27 assists over 41 outings), so his absence will require fantasy managers to find an alternative for center depth for a while.

JANUARY 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Set to be evaluated Wednesday Monahan (upper body) will be evaluated Wednesday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Impact Monahan exited Tuesday's game against the Penguins due to an upper-body injury, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be forced to miss additional time. A better idea of his status could come into focus once he's further evaluated by the team's medical staff, but he should tentatively be considered questionable for Thursday's home game against the Kraken.

Dealing with upper-body injury Monahan (upper body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Penguins.

Impact Monahan took one shift in the third period but couldn't continue. Losing Monahan for any length of time would be a massive disruption for the Blue Jackets, as he has earned 14 goals and 27 assists over 41 appearances this season. More information on his status should be available prior to Thursday's home game versus the Kraken.

One of best seasons of career Monahan had three assists in a 6-4 win over St. Louis on Saturday.

Impact He had one of every type -- power-play, shorthanded and even-strength. Monahan also had 14 faceoff wins (45.2 percent). He's on pace for one of his best seasons ever with 40 points in as many games and over 100 shots already. Monahan has great chemistry with linemates Kirill Marchenko (43 points) and Dmitri Voronkov (26 points), and the trio is keeping the Jackets within striking distance of the postseason.

Tallies in loss Monahan scored a goal on two shots and won 16 of 25 faceoffs in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Red Wings.

Impact Monahan continues to pour on the offense -- he has five goals and seven helpers over his last seven contests. He's earned three power-play points in that span, so he's not overly reliant on producing with the man advantage. The center is up to 14 goals, 37 points (seven on the power play), 103 shots on net and a plus-16 rating over 39 appearances in a top-line role this season.

Three-point effort against Carolina Monahan notched three assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Hurricanes.

Impact It's been an incredibly emotional first season for Monahan in Columbus, but he's risen to the occasion and has found another gear heading into the new year. Over the last six games, the veteran center has four multi-point performances, compiling four goals and 11 points over that stretch. Monhana's provided the Blue Jackets with a true first-line threat, and through 38 appearances he's produced 13 goals and 36 points while also helping younger players like Kirill Marchenko and Dmitri Voronkov take a big step forward.
