Monahan scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Sharks.
Monahan missed four games due to an undisclosed injury, which is believed to be stemming from something he's been playing through for most of the campaign. In his first contest back, he snapped an 11-game goal drought. Monahan has struggled a bit this year with six goals, 20 points, 69 shots on net, 24 hits and a minus-4 rating over 38 appearances, but it makes sense that his production is down since he's been at less than 100 percent. He'll likely handle middle-six minutes moving forward as long as he can avoid aggravating the injury.

Blue Jackets' Zach Werenski: Nets goal Tuesday
Rotowire
Werenski scored a goal on two shots and went minus-3 in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Sharks.
Werenski has gotten on the scoresheet in eight straight outings (seven goals, eight assists), with only a lower-body injury slowing him down by sidelining him for four games during that span. The 28-year-old defenseman continues to be one of the absolute best from the blue line while working massive minutes for the Blue Jackets. Werenski is at 16 goals, 45 points, 141 shots on net, 54 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 38 appearances.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Yields three goals in loss
Rotowire
Greaves gave up three goals on 34 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Sharks. The last two goals were empty-netters.
A flurry of offense in the final five minutes inflated the score, obscuring what was a fairly good effort out of Greaves. He still ended up with his third loss in his last four outings, a span in which he's allowed 12 goals on 143 shots while facing at least 33 shots in each of those contests. For the season, the 24-year-old netminder is now 12-11-6 with a 2.65 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 29 appearances. The Blue Jackets' next game is Thursday in Vegas, followed by a weekend road back-to-back to wrap up this trip with stops in Colorado on Saturday and Utah on Sunday. Given his recent workload, Greaves is likely to start two of the next three games.
Marchment is sidelined by an upper-body injury for Tuesday's game versus the Sharks.
Marchment's injury was previously reported to be a lower-body concern. The 30-year-old winger will miss at least one game due to the injury. Dmitri Voronkov is set to regain some ice time while Marchment is out.

Blue Jackets' Sean Monahan: Set to return Tuesday
Rotowire
Monahan (undisclosed) is expected to rejoin the lineup versus San Jose on Tuesday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
Monahan will be back in the lineup following a four-game stint on the shelf due to his undisclosed injury. The veteran center is currently stuck in an 11-game goal drought during which he managed a paltry 12 shots. Still, Monahan did chip in six helpers over that stretch, including three with the man advantage.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Defending crease in San Jose
Rotowire
Greaves will guard the road net against the Sharks on Tuesday, according to Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.
Greaves has been a workhorse for the Blue Jackets lately -- he's appeared in 12 of the team's last 13 games, during which he's 5-6-1 with a 2.40 GAA and a .922 save percentage. The Ontario native was heading toward earning a victory Sunday against Pittsburgh, but Columbus squandered a 4-1 lead and lost in overtime. The Sharks, for their part, are coming off a 7-3 defeat to Tampa Bay on Saturday following a three-game winning streak.

Blue Jackets' Egor Zamula: Links up with Columbus
Rotowire
Zamula signed a one-year, $1 million contract with Columbus on Tuesday, PuckPedia reports.
After being dealt to Pittsburgh from Philadelphia on Wednesday, Zamula was put on unconditional waivers by the Penguins on Monday for the purpose of terminating his contract. Zamula will now join another team in the Metropolitan Division, as the Blue Jackets signed him due to a few injuries they are dealing with on the blue line. The left-shot defenseman will fill a depth role for his new club and could replace Jake Christiansen on the third pairing in short order.

Blue Jackets' Mason Marchment: Ruled out versus Sharks
Rotowire
Marchment sustained a lower-body injury and won't be in action against the Sharks on Tuesday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Marchment has settled in well with Columbus, racking up five goals and two assists in seven appearances for his new club. As long as he doesn't miss significant time, the 30-year-old winger should still be capable of reaching the 40-point threshold for the fourth time in the last five years. Both Dmitri Voronkov and Boone Jenner could be in contention to replace Marchment on the first line Tuesday.

Blue Jackets' Mikael Pyyhtia: Big game in AHL on Monday
Rotowire
Pyyhtia scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Cleveland's 3-1 win over Charlotte on Monday.
This was Pyyhtia's fourth multi-point effort over the last six games for the Monsters. In that span, he has four goals and six assists. For the season, he's up to seven goals, 22 points, 54 shots on net and 14 PIM through 23 outings. The 24-year-old could be a call-up candidate if the Blue Jackets need forward depth later in the campaign.
Blue Jackets' Denton Mateychuk: Records two more assists
Rotowire
Mateychuk notched two assists, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Penguins.
Mateychuk has two goals and seven assists over his last seven games, a span that includes three multi-point efforts. The 21-year-old blueliner is up to eight goals, 21 points, 48 shots on net, 59 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 40 appearances. It took a little time for him to find his stride, but he's emerged as a productive top-four blueliner who can also handle time in all situations.

Blue Jackets' Dmitri Voronkov: Scores again sunday
Rotowire
Voronkov scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged three hits in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Penguins.
Voronkov's ice time was low again (10:07), but he scored for the second game in a row. He's still listed on the second line despite the recent drop in usage. Voronkov is up to 15 goals, 27 points, 82 shots on net, 64 hits, 49 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 41 appearances. His ice time will be a situation to monitor going forward, as it introduces some risk into an otherwise production fantasy profile.

Blue Jackets' Zach Werenski: Records two points Sunday
Rotowire
Werenski scored a goal and added an assist in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Penguins.
Werenski has made the most of his chances since returning from his lower-body injury, posting four points (one goal, three assists) in his last two games. The star blueliner has racked up 44 points in 37 outings this season, with 15 goals and 29 assists, and he remains one of the best offensive defensemen in the league. He ranks second in points among defensemen, as he only trails Cale Makar (47) from the Avalanche.

Blue Jackets' Mason Marchment: Buries goal Sunday
Rotowire
Marchment scored a goal and took three shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Penguins.
Marchment was held off the scoresheet in the 5-1 win over the Sabres on Saturday, but he bounced back admirably in this one and delivered his ninth goal of the campaign with a backhander at the 8:48 mark of the first period. Marchment has scored seven of his nine goals this season over his last 10 games, so he's clearly going through his most productive stretch of the campaign, and his move from Seattle to Columbus has unlocked some extra offense for him.

Blue Jackets' Kirill Marchenko: Two points in OT loss
Rotowire
Marchenko scored a goal and added an assist in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Penguins.
Marchenko recorded both of his contributions in the first period, assisting on Mason Marchment's goal and later adding a tally of his own at the 18:38 mark with a snap shot. Marchenko is up to 15 goals and 18 assists on the season, and he's firmly established as one of the Blue Jackets' most reliable scoring weapons while also seeing plenty of opportunities to produce due to his top-six role.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Beaten five times
Rotowire
Greaves stopped 38 of 43 shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Penguins.
Greaves has dropped two of his last three starts, but fantasy managers would be wise to look past his win-loss record to see what he brings to the table. The 24-year-old netminder has been playing well of late -- this was the first time since Nov. 28 (also against Pittsburgh) where he allowed more than three goals. Over his last 10 games, Greaves has gone 5-4-1 with a 2.46 GAA and a .917 save percentage.
Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Starting afternoon battle
Rotowire
Greaves will get the start Sunday against the Penguins, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
Greaves is in the midst of a good stretch of hockey as he's won four of his past five starts with a save percentage above .900 in each contest. The 24-year-old is 12-10-5 with a 2.56 GAA and a .912 save percentage on the season. The Penguins enter Sunday's contest red-hot, having won four straight with a combined 20 goals scored in those games.
