Dmitri Voronkov Fantasy Stats

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Dmitri Voronkov has signed a new two-year, $8.35 million contract with the team. He was a restricted free agent following a career year. In 73 outings, Voronkov posted 23 goals and 47 points with 154 shots on goal. His numbers included a team-high eight power-play goals and a stellar plus-17 rating. At 24, Voronkov is still relatively young and appears capable of further improvement in 2025-26. Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell holds him in high regard, noting that Voronkov "has a chance to be a very special player."

Columbus Blue Jackets left wing Dmitri Voronkov scored two goals and added an assist during Friday's victory over the Boston Bruins. Voronkov tallied his helper on Adam Fantilli's goal in the second frame. Later in the period Voronkov would strike twice, both times on the power-play. His first PPG came on a backhand shot while the other on a wrist shot to beat netminder Joonas Korpisalo. Voronkov also tallied five shots on goal and finished with a +2 rating in this game. The 24-year-old has now scored two goals in each of his past two contests and is riding six-game point streak. Prior to this hot stretch, he tallied just two points (two goals) over the first eight games of the month. Voronkov will look to stay hot facing Boston once again on Saturday evening.

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Dmitri Voronkov (upper-body) is set to make his season debut on Friday against the Winnipeg Jets. Voronkov missed the first nine games of the season after suffering an upper-body injury in the final game of the preseason. The 24-year-old had a solid rookie season last year, notching 34 points (18 goals, 16 assists) in 75 games for the Jackets. Voronkov could slide into a top-six role and become a viable streamer at some point, but for now he can be avoided in all fantasy formats.

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Dmitri Voronkov (upper body) does not require surgery and is expected to be back by the end of November. Voronkov suffered an upper-body injury in a preseason game last week. The 24-year-old had 34 points (18 goals, 16 assists) in 75 games during his rookie campaign last season. Columbus kicks off the campaign on Thursday versus Minnesota, with Boone Jenner (shoulder) and Justin Danforth (wrist) also missing from the attack. This will give fresh signing Kevin Labanc a top-six role, while veteran James van Riemsdyk also has a chance to impress as a second-line piece.

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Dmitri Voronkov (upper body) lasted only one shift in Thursday's preseason contest against Pittsburgh. He was forced to exit the game after sustaining an upper-body injury. Voronkov bagged 34 points (18 goals, 16 assists) in 75 games last season, placing third on the team in goals scored. He should have another solid campaign in 2024-25. However, the injury could be an early setback for him if it's deemed serious enough. Blue Jackets head coach Dave Evason did not provide any updates on Voronkov after Thursday's game.

Columbus Blue Jackets left wing Dmitri Voronkov was the only man to beat Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in the Sabres crease on Friday, recording a power-play goal in the first period of a 2-1 loss. Having scored for the fourth time this season with the man advantage, Voronkov is now tied with New Jersey's Luke Hughes for most power-play goals among first-year players. The Russian rookie has been very comfortable in front of goal lately, potting four goals in his past seven appearances. He reached 15 career goals on Friday, which marks the second most in franchise history by a player through his first 50th appearance with the team. Voronkov has added 13 assists while logging a team-best plus-six rating during a fairly successful rookie campaign.
