Cole Sillinger Re-Signs With Blue Jackets for Three Years

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Cole Sillinger signed a three-year, $13.875 million contract on Friday, avoiding a salary arbitration hearing. This looks like a decent deal for both sides. Sillinger is a versatile player who still has room to grow. He has finished with 30-plus points in four of his five NHL campaigns. In 2025-26, Sillinger recorded a career-high 25 assists and 33 points in 81 games. The 23-year-old was third on his team with 112 hits. A couple of seasons ago, Sillinger averaged 0.5 points per game, making 40 points a realistic target for 2026-27.

Cole Sillinger Practices on Friday

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Cole Sillinger (hand) participated in Friday's practice, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports. Sillinger left Thursday's session early after sustaining an apparent hand injury. It seems like it was only a small scare for the player and team. Sullinger has registered back-to-back 30-point campaigns, but could've done a lot more last season if not for health issues. He was limited to 66 appearances, posting 11 goals and 22 assists. The 22-year-old is projected to start the season on Columbus' second line.

Cole Sillinger Returns To Blue Jackets Lineup

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Cole Sillinger (shoulder) will re-enter the lineup on Friday against the Vancouver Canucks. He has been out for 11 games due to a shoulder injury. Columbus will replace James van Riemsdyk with Sillinger on Friday night. Justin Danforth and Mathieu Olivier will join the 21-year-old on the third line. Although the third-line role limits Sillinger's fantasy appeal, he has had a strong campaign, posting 29 points (nine goals, 20 assists) in 54 games.

Cole Sillinger Closing In On Return

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Cole Sillinger (shoulder) could be available to return to the lineup this week. He has missed eight games due to a shoulder injury. Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Blue Jackets head coach Dave Evanson did not dismiss the possibility of Sillinger's return to action this week. His next chance to make a comeback will be on Thursday against the Florida Panthers. Columbus also has a game scheduled for Friday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Sillinger remains on track for a career year, having totaled 29 points (nine goals, 20 assists) in 54 outings. With Sean Monahan (wrist) also nearing his return, the Blue Jackets offense is about to receive a big boost.

Cole Sillinger Considered Week-To-Week With Shoulder Injury

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Cole Sillinger (shoulder) has been placed on Injured Reserve, with the team considering him week-to-week. The 21-year-old was injured against the Detroit Red Wings last week and will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game when the Blue Jackets host the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday. Sillinger is on track for a career year, boasting 29 points (nine goals, 20 assists) through 54 appearances. On Tuesday, Sillinger's spot on the second line will be filled by Yegor Chinakhov (back), who is ready to return from a 39-game absence.

Cole Sillinger Rejoins Blue Jackets Lineup

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Cole Sillinger (upper body) will return from a three-game absence on Thursday against the Vegas Golden Knights. He is set to fill a top-six role in the contest after skating with James van Riemsdyk and Kent Johnson in Wednesday's practice. Both wingers have been hot lately, putting Sillinger in a good position to make an immediate impact on Thursday. The 21-year-old has registered 23 points (seven goals, 16 assists) in 45 games this season. However, Sillinger has increased his points tally just three times over his past 14 outings.

Cole Sillinger Back In Blue Jackets Lineup Saturday

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Cole Sillinger (illness) will hop back into the lineup for Saturday's clash against St. Louis. Sillinger sat out Saturday's meeting with Seattle due to an illness. His absence allowed his older brother, Owen, to make his NHL debut. Columbus reassigned Owen Sillinger to the minors on Friday, so the two brothers must wait for a chance to play together in the big league. Sillinger will return to second-line duty, taking up a position alongside Kent Johnson and James van Riemsdyk. The 21-year-old has recorded 22 points (six goals, 16 assists) across 40 games in 2024-25, but Sillinger has been cold lately, adding to his tally just twice in his past nine appearances.

Cole Sillinger Available On Tuesday

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Cole Sillinger (lower body) will play against Philadelphia on Tuesday. His status for the game was initially up in the air after Sillinger sustained a lower-body injury in Sunday's 4-1 win against Winnipeg. Sillinger has been quietly good this season, recording 18 points (four goals, 14 assists) in 26 games. He has logged two multi-point outings in five December appearances, posting a goal and four assists. We should see Sillinger in his normal role on the third line on Tuesday, next to Zachary Aston-Reese and Mathieu Olivier.

Cole Sillinger Sustains A Lower-Body Injury Sunday

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Cole Sillinger (lower body) did not complete Sunday's matchup against Winnipeg. He didn't see any ice time in the third period after getting hurt while blocking a shot in the second. Sillinger finished the game scoreless in 8:44 of ice time. On Sunday, Sillinger didn't contribute anything offensively, but he's had a strong campaign overall and is on track to shatter his previous career-best points tally of 32. Through 26 outings, Sillinger has recorded four goals and 14 assists. He's averaged a point per game across his last nine appearances.

Cole Sillinger Ruled Out For Wednesday

Columbus Blue Jackets center Cole Sillinger (upper body) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against Montreal. He will miss his first game of the season due to an upper-body injury. Sillinger is the fifth-highest scorer on the improving Blue Jackets team, with 12 points (three goals, nine assists) in 20 games. His absence on Wednesday will bring James van Riemsdyk back into the lineup. The veteran winger has looked way past his best in 2024-25, settling for three goals and five points in 14 appearances.

Cole Sillinger Re-Signs With Blue Jackets For Two Years

Columbus Blue Jackets center Cole Sillinger has signed a two-year, $4.5 million deal with the team. The 21-year-old finally has his future sorted out after spending most of the summer as a restricted free agent. Despite his young age, Sullinger already has 220 games of NHL experience. He has registered 34 goals and 74 points while averaging close to 1.5 hits per game. Sullinger is projected to start the season on the third line and should be good for 30 points and 100-plus hits again.

Cole Sillinger Might Start Campaign In AHL

Columbus Blue Jackets center Cole Sillinger might have to start the 2023-24 campaign in the AHL, writes Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch. The 20-year-old still remains waivers exempt and Sillinger could use some time away from the big league to regain his confidence. Following a 31-point debut campaign, the Columbus-born forward had a bad sophomore slump in 2022-23, posting only 11 points (three goals, eight assists) in 64 games. He ended up finishing the season with the Cleveland Monsters in the minors, notching six points (two goals, four assists) in 11 outings. Hedger also mentions Nick Blankenburg, Tim Berni, Liam Foudy, and Emil Bemstrom as players who might not make the Blue Jackets roster for the start of the season despite seeing regular NHL action in 2022-23.

Cole Sillinger Rejoins Blue Jackets Lineup

Columbus Blue Jackets center Cole Sillinger will return to the lineup for Tuesday's clash against Nashville. The young forward has been a healthy scratch for a couple of games but is getting a new opportunity at the expense of Liam Foudy. Sillinger's season hasn't gone well at all as he sits on seven points through 38 games. He has been averaging only 12:48 ice time for the campaign, which hasn't helped his cause. Sillinger will be the third-line center Tuesday, skating between Kirill Marchenko and Emil Bemstrom.

Cole Sillinger Available Again Thursday

Columbus Blue Jackets center Cole Sillinger (upper body) will be back in the lineup Thursday versus the Islanders. He was sidelined for the past three games with an upper-body injury. The 19-year-old is having a tough campaign, sitting on only six points through 30 games. He's been stuck in the bottom six and will return Thursday also in a fourth-line role. Sillinger has a lot of upside, but fantasy managers should leave him on the waiver wire at present.

Cole Sillinger Contributes Two Points In Victory

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Cole Sillinger finished with a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 5-1 victory against the Canadiens. The 18-year-old made his impact in the third period as he recorded both of his points in the final frame to help the Blue Jackets win by a four-goal margin. Sillinger carries significant value in dynasty leagues as the 12th overall draft selection from 2021 is finishing up his first season in the NHL.

Cole Sillinger's Hat Trick Leads Blue Jackets To Win

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Cole Sillinger recorded his first career hat trick in Sunday's 6-4 victory against the Golden Knights. Sillinger led the way offensively in the high-scoring contest with a pair of goals less than two minutes apart in the second period to complete the hat trick. The 18-year-old is the youngest player in the NHL this season, and the rookie is a valuable piece in dynasty formats as opposed to standard redraft leagues for the remainder of the season.

Cole Sillinger Notches First Career Goal

Columbus Blue Jackets center Cole Sillinger scored his first career goal on Thursday, helping the team beat the Islanders 3-2 in overtime. The 18-year-old, who's the youngest player in the NHL this season, put the Jackets 2-1 up in the second period. Sillinger seemed to have been hungry for a goal all night as he ended up with a team-high six shots. He finished plus-one for the contest, logging 17:17 on the ice. The 12th pick of this year's draft has produced two points in his first four career appearances with 11 shots, three hits and two blocks. He centers the third line which includes the team's leading scorer Oliver Bjorkstrand.
