| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Ryan Johansen  ActiveRyan Johansen was chosen as the NHL's third star of the week for the final week of the regular season. He notched two goals and six points in four games. Both of his markers, his 32nd and 33rd of the season, were game winners. Johansen earned the 16th muli-point performance of the 2013-14 campaign in Saturday's win over Florida. He racked up 63 points in 82 contests. Apr 14 |
| 2 | Brandon Dubinsky ActiveBrandon Dubinsky tried to find the silver lining after Columbus blew a two-goal lead against Pittsburgh in Game 1. "I liked the way our guys fought and played," Dubinsky said. "They made one more play than us. That's the way the playoffs go some times. We can't give them odd-man rushes. We gave them too many and they made us pay. But our guys know what to expect now, and they'll come ready to battle on Saturday." Columbus was a long shot to win this series going into the playoffs and they might have lost their best chance to get under the Penguins' skin by coughing up that lead. For his part, Dubinsky had an assist in the 4-3 loss. Apr 17 |
| 3 | Artem Anisimov ActiveArtem Anisimov found the back of the net for the Blue Jackets in a 3-1 win over Dallas Wednesday night. The 22nd marker of the year for the Russian forward was an unassisted tally and put the Blue Jackets ahead by two goals at the time, a margin they would never relinquish. Nathan Horton and Mark Letestu also scored goal for Columbus in the victory. Apr 9 |
| 4 | Derek MacKenzie ActiveDerek MacKenzie netted a goal in a 4-3 loss to Pittsburgh in Game 1 of the first round. MacKenzie was playing in his first career postseason contest at the age of 32. He had nine goals and 18 points in 71 games this season. Apr 17 |
| 5 | Ryan Craig ActiveRyan Craig was called up from the minors on Saturday. Craig was sent down on New Year's Day with the expectation of a recall and it happened. He was minus-one in 11:26 minutes of action and is now minus-three with nary a point in four NHL games. Jan 5 |
| LW | 1 | Nick Foligno  SidelinedNick Foligno (knee) won't play in Game 2 Saturday night. Coach Todd Richards said that Foligno could possibly be back on Monday for Game 3 back in Columbus. Apr 17 |
| 2 | Matt Calvert ActiveMatt Calvert picked a fight with former teammate Rick Nash early in the third period of Friday's game. It was Nash's first game in Columbus since he was traded by the Blues Jackets to the New York Rangers. Calvert was determined to fight with Nash after what he saw as a "gutless" shove from Nash to goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky earlier in the contest. Nash had gotten frustrated with the Blue Jackets netminder after he was whacked a couple times and Bobrovsky knocked Nash's stick away when he went to pick it up after play was called dead. In addition to a fighting major, Calvert got two minutes for roughing. Mar 22 |
| 3 | Boone Jenner ActiveBoone Jenner notched a goal and an assist but it was not enough for the Blue Jackets, as they fell 3-2 to the Bolts on Friday night. Jenner has 16 goals and 28 points in 71 games for the Jackets, including three goals and five points in his past four games. The Jackets missed an opportunity to pass Philadelphia for the third seed in the Metropolitan Division, and will now need a win in their final game, along with the Flyers to lose one of their remaining two games in regulation in order to climb out of the Wild Card. Apr 11 |
| 4 | Matt Frattin ActiveMatt Frattin will get out of the press box on Friday. The Blue Jackets haven't used Frattin since March 13. He was acquired from Los Angeles on March 5 as part of the Marian Gaborik trade. Apr 4 |
| 5 | Mark Letestu ActiveMark Letestu found the back of the net in Columbus' 4-3 loss to Pittsburgh in Game 1 of the first round. It was Letestu's first goal in 12 career playoff games. He started his career with Pittsburgh, but was traded to Columbus in November 2011. Apr 17 |
| RW | 1 | Nathan Horton SidelinedNathan Horton has undergone abdominal surgery. Horton will miss the next six weeks as a result, which kills his chances of helping the Blue Jackets in their playoff run unless they go deep. He has four goals and 14 assists in 35 games this season. Injuries have been a problem all season for Horton, which is part of the reason why his 2013-14 numbers are underwhelming. However, he had success in the playoffs during his days with Boston and Columbus could have certainly used his services. Apr 11 |
| 2 | R.J. Umberger SidelinedR.J. Umberger (upper body) is a possibility for Game 2 on Saturday. Umberger won't be on the ice when the Blue Jackets' series against Pittsburgh starts on Wednesday. He had 18 goals and 34 points in 74 games this season. Apr 16 |
| 3 | Cam Atkinson ActiveCam Atkinson opened the scoring for Columbus on Saturday with his 21st goal of the season. After 14 points in 27 games in 2011-12, and 18 points in 35 games last season, Atkinson finally played a full season as the 24-year-old ended the season with 40 points in 79 games. He is worth taking next season in very deep leagues at the end of the draft. Apr 13 |
| 4 | Jared Boll ActiveJared Boll fought the Islanders' Matt Carkner midway through the third period of Columbus' 4-0 victory on Sunday. Boll and Carkner were both handed misconducts in addition to five-minute majors. Boll now has 1,023 career penalty minutes, which is just two minutes shy of the Blue Jackets' franchise record. Apr 7 |
| 5 | Corey Tropp ActiveCorey Tropp will be in Columbus' lineup Saturday night. He has been a healthy scratch for the last three games. R.J. Umberger will take his place in the press box. Mar 29 |
| 6 | Blake Comeau ActiveBlake Comeau scored a goal in Columbus' 3-2 overtime defeat to Colorado. It was Comeau's first goal since Dec. 19, 2013. Oddly enough, the Blue Jackets have lost all four games that he has scored in this season. Apr 2 |
| 7 | Jack Skille ActiveJack Skille replaced the injured Nathan Horton on the top line Saturday. Skille played alongside Ryan Johanson and Boone Jenner but managed to play only 10:19 minutes as he had two shots on goal and one hit. Skille was drafted seventh overall in the 2005 Draft but has never made his mark in the NHL. Apr 13 |
| D | 1 | James Wisniewski ActiveJames Wisniewski has surpassed Jaroslav Spacek to set a new Blue Jackets record for points in a single season by a defenseman. Wisniewski had a goal and an assist on Thursday, giving him 46 points in 69 games. That also puts him in a tie for ninth place in the defensemen scoring race. Apr 4 |
| 2 | Jack Johnson ActiveJack Johnson scored a goal and added an assist for the Blue Jackets in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to Pittsburgh in Game 1 of their first round playoff series. Johnson suffered through a subpar regular season that saw him get left off the U.S. Olympic Team, but he has an opportunity to erase his difficulties from memory with a strong playoff. Mark Letestu and Derek MacKenzie also found the back of the net for Columbus in the losing effort. Apr 16 |
| 3 | Fedor Tyutin ActiveDefenseman Fedor Tyutin, who had missed nine games because of an ankle injury suffered during the Olympics, returned to the Columbus Blue Jackets Saturday night and contributed a steady effort to his team's 2-1 shootout victory over the Minnesota Wild. Tyutin blocked a shot and delivered a hit and there were no Wild goals while he was on the ice. With Tyutin back, Columbus coach Todd Richards made sweeping changes to his defensive pairings. Jack Johnson, who had been Tyutin’s partner, skated with David Savard while Tyutin was out. But Richards had Johnson paired with Dalton Prout, Tyutin with James Wisniewski, and Nikita Nikitin with Savard. Tyutin and Wisniewski hadn’t played together since early in the 2011-12 season. "He’s such an easy guy to play with," Wisniewski said. "Every defensemen in this room would love to have Fedor next to them." Mar 16 |
| 4 | Ryan Murray ActiveRyan Murray will be held out of the lineup in Saturday's regular season finale as a precaution. He has played in five games since returning from arthroscopic knee surgery. Murray is expected to be ready to go for Game 1 of the playoffs next week. Apr 12 |
| 5 | Nikita Nikitin ActiveNikita Nikitin (lower body) returned to action on Saturday. Nikitin missed six games after he suffered the lower body injury on April 1. Nikitin has only two goals and 15 points in 65 games this season. It was thought that he could be a good offensive candidate for fantasy pools after his breakout season in 2011-12 when he had seven goals and 32 points in 61 games split between the Blues and the Blue Jackets but it is not to be. Apr 13 |
| 6 | David Savard ActiveDavid Savard found the back of the net in Friday's 3-2 loss to Tampa Bay. His fifth goal of the season came late in the third period to give Columbus a chance at a comeback, but they couldn't get the equalizer. Savard has two points in his last two games to give him 15 on the year. Apr 12 |
| 7 | Dalton Prout ActiveDalton Prout scored a goal for the Blue Jackets in their 2-1 shootout win against the Wild on Saturday night. High scoring or low scoring, the Blue Jackets are finding a way to get it done as their playoff push continues. Prout now has two goals and six points on the season, his goal coming with 22 seconds left in the second period. Jack Johnson and Matt Calvert had the assists. Mar 15 |
| 8 | Nick Schultz ActiveNick Schultz and Matt Frattin were healthy scratches on Saturday. Just an FYI as both players have no fantasy value. Apr 13 |
| G | 1 | Sergei Bobrovsky ActiveColumbus goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky was unable to hold off the flying Penguins in a 4-3 loss to Pittsburgh. In the series opener between the Jackets and Pens, Bobrovsky was staked to a 3-1 lead early in the second period, but the advantage wouldn't last. All told, the Columbus netminder allowed four goals on 32 shots in the defeat, but he'll certainly be between the pipes again for Game 2 Saturday. Apr 16 |
| 2 | Curtis McElhinney ActiveCurtis McElhinney made 19 saves on 22 shots as the Lightning skated past the Jackets by a score of 3-2 on Friday night. McElhinney has now lost two of his past three games, and falls to 10-11-1 on the season with a .909 save percentage and 2.70 goals against average. The 30 year old might have made his last start of the year, barring a Sergei Bobrovsky injury in the playoffs, as the Jackets close out the regular season on Saturday. Apr 11 |
| 3 | Mike McKenna ActiveMike McKenna has been called up by the Columbus Blue Jackets. McKenna was called up as an insurance policy because Sergei Bobrovsky is still dealing with the flu. If Bobrovsky isn't available on Friday, then McKenna will serve as the team's backup goaltender. Mar 28 |
| 4 | Jeremy Smith ActiveJeremy Smith has been summoned by the Columbus Blue Jackets. Smith will practice with the team, but he's not expected to appear in any playoff contests. He has a 2.78 GAA and .898 save percentage in 38 AHL games this season. Apr 16 |
