Two points, winning tally in SO Werenski scored a power-play goal, distributed an assist, fired six shots on net and recorded four blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Red Wings.
Impact Werenski played the hero in Tuesday's contest during multiple instances. He scored a power-play goal midway through the second period before providing the game-tying assist on Adam Fantilli's goal with just 17 seconds remaining in regulation. Werenski would then put away the winning tally of the shootout on Columbus' fifth attempt. Overall, the 28-year-old blueliner is up to 22 goals, 58 assists, 240 shots on net, 30 hits and 90 blocked shots across 71 games this season. Tuesday's contest helped him secure 80-plus points in each of the past two seasons. He'll likely be a candidate for this year's Norris Trophy and holds strong fantasy value for the remainder of the regular season.

Adds one of each in win Werenski scored a goal, recorded an assist and placed three shots on net in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Philadelphia.
Impact Werenski scored his first goal since the Olympic break Tuesday to give the Blue Jackets their first lead of the game. Over his last nine games, the 28-year-old defenseman has been excellent with 12 points, 28 shots on net and seven blocked shots. He ranks among all defenseman with 77 points and ranks second on the Blue Jackets with 21 goals. Werenski has been one of the league's best blueliners over the last three seasons and has a strong case to be honored with the first Norris Trophy of his career this season. He should continue to post elite offensive numbers while the Blue Jackets look to secure a playoff berth in the Metropolitan Division.
