Columbus Blue Jackets

Kirill Marchenko has agreed to a six-year, $75 million contract extension with the Toronto Maple Leafs according to Chris Johnston.

Fantasy Impact: Marchenko commits long-term to a Toronto organization that parted with two-way winger Matthew Knies as part of the trade that brought the explosive forward to the organization. Marchenko slots in as another dynamic offensive option alongside Auston Matthews and William Nylander as part of a revamped Toronto top-six forward group for new head coach Lane Lambert as the season gets underway.

Adam Fantilli tallied one assist in the Blue Jackets' 3-2 loss to the Sharks Saturday.

Fantasy Impact: Fantilli continues a productive stretch in the offensive zone, posting points in eight of his last 10 games (three goals, seven assists) for the Blue Jackets. The 21-year-old continues to offer fantasy managers a mostly reliable offensive option as part of a resurgent Columbus lineup, tallying 54 points (21 goals, 33 assists) in 73 games so far this season.

Zach Werenski tallied three assists in the Blue Jackets' 5-2 win over the Kraken Saturday night.

Fantasy Impact: Werenski continues a solid stretch in the offensive zone, tallying points in seven of his last 10 games (13 assists) for the Blue Jackets. The 28-year-old continues to offer fantasy managers a dynamic playmaking option in the offensive zone from the Columbus blueline, posting a 1.21 point per game average (20 goals, 55 assists) in 62 games so far this season.

Conor Garland notched one assist in the Blue Jackets' 5-2 win over the Kraken Saturday night.

Fantasy Impact: Garland has heated up in the offensive zone of late, notching points in four of his last seven games (five goals, one assist) for the Blue Jackets. The winger will look to make a more consistent impact in the offensive zone since arriving prior to the trade deadline, picking up 32 points (12 goals, 20 assists) in 58 games so far this season.

Mason Marchment picked up one assist in the Blue Jackets' 2-1 loss to the Panthers Thursday night.

Fantasy Impact: Marchment has offered mixed results in the offensive zone of late, picking up points in five of his last nine games (two goals, five assists) for the Blue Jackets. The 30-year-old continues to offer head coach Rick Bowness one of the more stable two-way forward options in the Columbus lineup of late, notching 33 points (15 goals, 18 assists) in 52 games so far this season.

Dmitri Voronkov was able to find the back of the net for the Blue Jackets Saturday night, scoring one goal in an 8-5 win over the Lightning.

Fantasy Impact: Voronkov has struggled to make a consistent impact in the offensive zone, picking up points in three of his last seven games (two goals, one assist) for the Blue Jackets. The winger remains one of the more stable offensive options in the Columbus lineup, recording 31 points (17 goals, 14 assists) in 51 games so far this season.

Sean Monahan was able to find the back of the net for the Blue Jackets Saturday night, scoring one goal in an 8-5 win over the Lightning.

Fantasy Impact: Monahan has had a nose for the net of late, scoring goals in two of his last three games (two goals) for the Blue Jackets. The 31-year-old remains one of many underperforming offensive options in the Columbus lineup, picking up 24 points (eight goals, 16 assists) in 47 games so far this season.

Charlie Coyle posted three points for the Blue Jackets Saturday night, scoring one goal and picking up two assists in an 8-5 win over the Lightning.

Fantasy Impact: Coyle has offered mixed results in the offensive zone of late, notching points in four of his last seven games (five goals, three assists) for the Blue Jackets. The 33-year-old remains one of the more stable offensive options in the Columbus lineup, recording 33 points (11 goals, 22 assists) in 51 games so far this season.

Boone Jenner recorded one assist in the Blue Jackets' 5-1 win over the Sabres Saturday.

Fantasy Impact: Jenner has heated up in the offensive zone, picking up points in four of his last five games (one goal, three assists) for the Blue Jackets. The 32-year-old has offered head coach Dean Evason one of the more stable offensive options when in the Columbus lineup, recording 18 points (six goals, 12 assists) in 26 games so far this season.

Kent Johnson notched one assist in the Blue Jackets' 6-3 loss to the Senators Thursday night.

Fantasy Impact: Johnson continues a dismal stretch in the offensive zone, recording points in just two of his last 15 games (one goal, one assist) for the Blue Jackets. The 23-year-old has offered disappointing results in the offensive zone to this point, picking up seven points (three goals, four assists) in 30 games so far this season.

Denton Mateychuk scored a third-period goal during a 5-1 home loss to Washington. He scored on his only shot attempt in 18:25 minutes of ice time.

Fantasy Impact: He has two goals and one assist with a plus-one rating in seven games this season. Mateychuk played 45 games last season with the Blue Jackets, producing four goals and nine assists (13 points) with a plus-four rating.

Jet Greaves stopped 25-of-30 shots during a 5-1 loss to the Washington Capitals. Two of the goals allowed came on the power play.

Fantasy Impact: It was the fourth appearance of the season for Greaves, who has just one win. He also has a respectable 2.79 GAA and .903 SV% this year. He played in 11 games last season for Columbus, posting a 7-2-2 record with a 1.91 GAA and .938 SV%.

Elvis Merzlikins stopped 48-of-52 shots during a big 7-4 road win in Minnesota.

Fantasy Impact: Last year, he played in 53 games, posting a 26-21-5 record with a 3.18 GAA and .892 SV%. It was the first appearance for Merzlikins this year for the Blue Jackets.

Danforth potted one goal and added a helper, putting three shots on net in 14:22 of ice time. He finished with a plus-2 rating and also handed out six hits, providing a strong all-around performance.

Fantasy Impact: Danforth’s physical play and ability to find the scoresheet make him a solid depth piece in multi-category leagues. His top-six opportunities can fluctuate, but he’s shown he can capitalize on chances. Keep him on your radar for streaming when he’s hot.

Provorov potted a goal and led the Blue Jackets’ defensive corps with 28:56 of ice time. He contributed two shots on net, blocked five attempts, and split special-teams duties (nearly five minutes combined on power play and penalty kill).

Fantasy Impact: Provorov’s robust minutes and willingness to get in shooting lanes give him steady multi-category appeal. He remains a reliable source of blocks and can chip in offensively, making him a worthwhile roster option across most leagues. Managers looking for a defenseman who logs big minutes and contributes in both ends of the rink should keep him locked into lineups.

Harris posted an assist and a plus-1 rating in just 8:57 of ice time. Despite his limited minutes, he managed to factor into one of Columbus’ goals, demonstrating efficiency when on the ice.

Fantasy Impact: Though Harris isn’t a high-volume contributor, he can provide occasional offensive upside and steady play from the back end. His limited time on ice curbs his fantasy ceiling for now. In most leagues, he’s best viewed as a watch-list candidate unless his role expands significantly.

Daniil Tarasov stopped 31 of 33 shots in Friday’s 3-2 overtime win against Utah.

Fantasy Impact: Tarasov allowed goals early in the second and third periods but held firm as Columbus mounted a comeback. The 25-year-old finished January with two wins in four outings while surrendering 10 total goals. Despite this solid performance, he remains firmly in a backup role behind Elvis Merzlikins and will need sustained strong play to earn a larger share of starts. Tarasov now sits at 5-7-2 with a 3.69 GAA and an .876 save percentage across 14 appearances this season. With Columbus heading to Dallas on Sunday, he may return to the bench as Merzlikins reclaims the crease.

Cole Sillinger logged an assist and two PIM in Friday’s 3-2 overtime victory over Utah.

Fantasy Impact: Fresh off scoring the game-winner against Vegas, Sillinger contributed to Zach Werenski’s overtime tally, marking his second straight game with a key impact play. The young center has reclaimed a top-six role after missing three games due to an upper-body injury. With 25 points, 107 shots, 58 hits, and 33 PIM through 47 appearances, Sillinger is on pace to surpass last season’s career-high 32 points, making him a viable depth option in deeper fantasy formats.

James van Riemsdyk notched an assist in Friday’s 3-2 overtime victory against Utah.

Fantasy Impact: Van Riemsdyk showed toughness, returning in the third period with a full face shield after taking a high stick in the first. Despite the injury, he contributed to Kent Johnson’s game-tying goal, capping off an excellent January with six goals and seven assists over 14 games. The veteran winger now has 22 points, 58 shots on net, and a minus-5 rating through 45 appearances. While his recent scoring surge may not be sustainable, his role in the top six appears secure, making him a viable fantasy option in deeper leagues.

Dante Fabbro notched an assist, two shots on goal, two hits, and three blocked shots in Friday’s 3-2 overtime win against Utah.

Fantasy Impact: Fabbro set up Kent Johnson’s game-tying goal in the third period, giving him three points over his last five outings. The blueliner continues to see top-pairing minutes alongside Zach Werenski, offering steady defensive contributions with some offensive upside. Across 42 games split between Columbus and Nashville, Fabbro has 13 points, 53 shots on net, 101 blocked shots, and a plus-12 rating. While his scoring remains modest, his well-rounded play makes him a viable option in deeper fantasy formats.
