Blue Jackets' Pyotr Andreyanov: Struggling with bottom-tier team
Andreyanov has gone 2-9-0 with a 3.51 GAA and an .893 save percentage over 11 games for HC Sochi in the KHL this season.
Andreyanov is in the second season of a five-year KHL contract, which has a release clause after four years. The goalie signed with CSKA Moscow, but he has since been loaned to HC Sochi, where he is playing for the worst team in the league. That will have a significant negative effect on his numbers this season, but the steady playing time should nonetheless help his development. Barring a change in his contract status, Andreyanov won't be coming to North America until 2029-30 at the earliest.

Blue Jackets' Cole Sillinger: Buries goal Saturday
Sillinger scored a goal, added two hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Blues.
Sillinger tallied for the second time in four games this season. He's added two assists, eight shots on net, six hits and a plus-2 rating. The 23-year-old forward is filling a middle-six role on a checking line with Charlie Coyle and Mathieu Olivier, which has often looked like Columbus' most consistent trio so far. If this is a breakout year in the making, Sillinger looks to be a good speculative addition to fantasy rosters while his offense is hot.

Blue Jackets' Valeri Nichushkin: Tallies in Saturday's loss
Nichushkin scored a goal on four shots and added three hits in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Blues.
Nichushkin was credited with the opening goal at 16:10 of the first period. The veteran winger has two points, seven shots on net, six hits, three blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over four outings this season. Nichushkin is filling a middle-six role and playing on the second power-play unit, so he should be a decent source of depth production in fantasy.

Blue Jackets' Kent Johnson: Finds twine in loss
Johnson scored a goal on three shots and went minus-2 in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Blues.
Johnson has gotten on the scoresheet in three of the Blue Jackets' four games so far this season. He has two goals, one assist, 11 shots on net and a minus-1 rating while filling a top-line role. It's shaping up to be a bounce-back year for Johnson, who was limited to 22 points over 76 games in the 2025-26 regular season.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Falls to Blues
Greaves allowed four goals on 26 shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Blues.
Greaves had a good first period, but he struggled in the final 40 minutes. The 25-year-old has been given a chance to run with the starting job this year, but he's stumbled out of the gates, allowing 11 goals on 83 shots over his first three outings. Cam Talbot looked decent Friday versus the Penguins, and he has the experience to take some work from Greaves if the younger netminder can't get on track quickly. The Blue Jackets' next game is Tuesday at home in a tough matchup against the Panthers.

Blue Jackets' Steven Lorentz: Hat trick in AHL win
Lorentz scored three goals in AHL Cleveland's 5-4 overtime win over Lehigh Valley on Saturday.
Lorentz was dealt to the Blue Jackets' organization in the Matthew Knies/Kirill Marchenko trade in September. With Cleveland, Lorentz has earned four points and eight shots on net over three games. The 30-year-old forward had been an NHL regular over the previous six seasons, and he could eventually find his way to Columbus as a bottom-six forward later in 2026-27.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Set to battle St. Louis
Greaves will defend the road crease in Saturday's clash with the Blues, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.
Greaves will look to bounce back in Saturday's contest after he most recently allowed four goals in a 4-1 loss to Utah on Oct. 3. The 25-year-old netminder currently has a 1-1-0 record, a 3.50 GAA and an .877 save percentage across two outings. His start to the campaign leaves room for improvement, and Greaves showcased how he's more than NHL ready in 2025-26, posting a 26-19-9 record, a 2.60 GAA and a .908 save percentage across 55 regular-season outings. Saturday is a strong spot for Greaves to get back on track, as he'll be facing a Blues' offense that is currently averaging just 2.25 goals per game to begin the new season.

Blue Jackets' Cole Sillinger: Registers two assists in shootout win
Sillinger logged two assists, two shots on goal and three hits in Friday's 3-2 shootout win over the Penguins.
Sillinger helped out on goals by Damon Severson and Mathieu Olivier. The 23-year-old Sillinger is doing well in a third-line role to start the season, earning one goal, two assists, seven shots on net, four PIM, four hits and a plus-2 rating over three contests. A first-round pick from 2021, Sillinger has yet to have a breakout campaign, but he offers decent depth scoring with a physical edge.

Blue Jackets' Mathieu Olivier: Tallies in Friday's win
Olivier scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Friday's 3-2 shootout win over the Penguins.
Olivier has two goals over three games this season. The 29-year-old winger is making good use of his third-line assignment, providing depth scoring in addition to his signature toughness. He has racked up eight shots on net, nine hits, seven PIM and a plus-2 rating. If Olivier can keep the offense up, he'll be an option in deeper fantasy formats.

Blue Jackets' Damon Severson: Two points in season debut
Severson scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Friday's 3-2 shootout win over the Penguins.
Severson missed two games while finishing up his recovery from shoulder surgery he underwent in April. The defenseman was immediately played on the top pairing alongside Zach Werenski, and that ended up being a good move. Severson had 32 points over 71 regular-season outings in 2025-26, so there's some offense in his game, especially if he stays in a top-four role. Keep him in mind for defensive depth in fantasy.

Blue Jackets' Cam Talbot: Steady in shootout win
Talbot stopped 20 of 22 shots in Friday's 3-2 shootout win over the Penguins.
Talbot put in a good effort in his first start of the season. The 39-year-old netminder also turned aside all three of Pittsburgh's shootout attempts. Talbot got the start because this was the first half of a back-to-back, making it likely Jet Greaves will be between the pipes in St. Louis on Saturday. Talbot is likely to handle the backup role throughout the campaign.

Blue Jackets' Damon Severson: Back on roster
Severson (shoulder) has been added to the Devils' roster ahead of Friday's clash with the Penguins, per the NHL media site.
Severson is set to make his season debut for the Jackets after missing the opening two outings. Last year, the veteran defenseman notched eight goals and 24 assists, including four power-play points, in 71 regular-season tilts while averaging 21:04 of ice time.

Blue Jackets' Cam Talbot: First goalie off Friday
Talbot was the first goalie off during Friday's morning skate, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Penguins.
Talbot didn't appear in either of the Blue Jackets' first two games of the regular season, but he appears set to make his regular-season debut Friday. Across 34 regular-season appearances with Detroit last year, he went 12-9-6 with a 3.19 GAA and .883 save percentage.

Blue Jackets' Mikael Pyyhtia: Waived by Columbus
Pyyhtia (lower body) was placed on waivers by the Blue Jackets on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Pyyhtia began the regular season on non-roster injured reserve due to a lower-body injury he sustained during the preseason. However, his placement on waivers indicates that he's moved past the issue. The 24-year-old will head to AHL Cleveland if he clears waivers.

Blue Jackets' Damon Severson: Expected back Friday
Severson (shoulder) is trending toward a return to the lineup against the Penguins on Friday, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.
Severson still needs to be activated off non-roster injured reserve, but all signs point to him being ready to play Friday. In 71 regular-season games last year, the 32-year-old blueliner notched eight goals and 24 assists, but that included just four power-play points.

Blue Jackets' Kent Johnson: Tallies lone goal in loss
Johnson scored a goal on five shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Mammoth.
Johnson has a goal, an assist, six shots and a plus-1 rating over two games this season. The 23-year-old struggled to just 22 points in 76 outings in 2025-26, compared to a 24-goal, 57-point effort in 68 games the year before. The reality likely lies between those two marks -- Johnson should be around 40-50 points in a bounce-back campaign. He has usage on his side this year, with a top-line job alongside Adam Fantilli and Matthew Knies proving fruitful early in the season. For fantasy purposes, Johnson will only help in the scoring categories.
