Zach Werenski - NHL News & Rumors

Considered day-to-day Werenski (lower body) is day-to-day, according to Aaron Portzline of The Athletic on Sunday.

Impact Werenski might miss Monday's matchup against the Kings, but he could be back shortly after the holiday break. He didn't suffer any broken bones after blocking a shot late in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Anaheim. Werenski has amassed 14 goals, 40 points, 132 shots on net and 52 blocked shots across 35 appearances this season.

Impact Werenski had to crawl off the ice and needed assistance getting to the locker room, so there is at least moderate concern with this injury. Prior to getting hurt, he picked up a goal and an assist Saturday, giving him five goals and five helpers during his five-game point streak. The defenseman's status for Monday's game versus the Kings is up in the air pending further evaluation, but an absence of any length would be a significant blow to Columbus' blue line.

Werenski has produced back-to-back two-goal performances as he puts an erratic start to the season firmly in his rear view mirror, and since the beginning of November he's delivered an eye-popping 10 goals and 30 points in 24 games.

Proving last season was no fluke Werenski scored twice and added an assist in a 4-3 overtime win over the Ducks on Tuesday.

Impact Both goals were off rushes. Werenski followed the play on the first goal, took a pass as he entered the zone and wired a low wrister when he got into the left circle. He carried the puck from his zone into theirs and wired another wrist shot on his second. Werenski snapped a seven-game goal slump, and he now has 11 goals, 36 points and 120 shots in 33 games this season. He's proving that his 23-goal, 82-point, 298-shot outburst last year was real. Werenski is currently the second-best offensive defender in the NHL.
