Zach Werenski News
Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski (ankle) was activated off IR on Thursday and is expected to play against the Calgary Flames. Werenski has been out since December 27 with a high-ankle sprain, missing 10 games in that time. Before his injury, the 26-year-old blueliner was having a solid campaign, registering 25 points (one goal, 24 assists), 87 shots, and 58 blocked shots in 34 games. He will regain top pairing and first powerplay duties upon his return and should be immediately inserted into fantasy lineups. Rookie defenseman David Jiricek will return to AHL Cleveland to make room for Werenski.
Columbus Blue Jackets forward Patrik Laine (clavicle) and defenseman Zach Werenski (ankle) were both on the ice for Friday's morning skate ahead of an evening game against the visiting New Jersey Devils. Laine broke his clavicle during a Dec. 14 6-5 overtime win over the Toronto Maple Leafs and was given a six-week timeline to return. He scored his sixth goal of the season before exiting that contest and has added three assists for nine points in 18 games on the season. Werenski suffered an ankle injury during a Dec. 27 overtime loss to the Devils. He has just one goal on the season but has added 24 helpers for 25 points across 34 games. Both players remain at least a couple weeks away from returning.
Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski (ankle) will be sidelined for 4-6 weeks. Werenski was injured on Wednesday against New Jersey and now faces an extended absence. He has exited the lineup with 25 points (one goal, 24 assists) in 34 games. Werenski is tied for the team lead in points and sits at the top of the pile in assists, so losing him is a massive blow for Columbus. Ivan Provorov has replaced Werenski on the first power-play unit, which provides a good boost to his fantasy stock.
Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski (lower body) left Wednesday's game against the New Jersey Devils early with what appeared to be a knee injury. He couldn't put any weight on his leg as he left, signifying the injury has a chance to be significant. An update should come tomorrow from the Jackets. It would be a devastating blow to both Columbus and fantasy managers if Werenski were to miss some time, as the blueliner has been very solid this season, posting 25 points (one goal, 24 assists) in 33 games. He has also added 87 shots and 56 blocks to round out his stat line. He should be held through his injury in all fantasy leagues, provided it isn't season-ending.
