| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Ryan Johansen  ActiveRyan Johansen has been selected as the first star of the week. He had a busy week in Columbus as part of the NHL All-Star festivities. Johansen was the top pick in the draft by Blue Jackets teammate Nick Foligno, he was the winner of the Honda NHL Breakaway Challenge and he was the MVP of the game after he posted two goals and two assists in a 17-12 loss to Team Toews. However, he didn't have a point in two games before the break, which ended his 13-game scoring streak. Jan 26 |
| 2 | Brandon Dubinsky ActiveBrandon Dubinsky started Friday's game on the fourth line but ended up on the third unit before the end of the game. Dubinsky started the game with Jared Boll and Corey Tropp but eventually switched spots with Mark Letestu and finished the game alongside Matt Calvert and Josh Anderson. Dubinsky started the season on the injured reserve list after undergoing abdominal surgery. He has two goals and 10 points in 16 games with 19 penalty minutes. Jan 17 |
| 3 | Artem Anisimov  I.L.Artem Anisimov (torn triceps) won't play on Tuesday. Anisimov is pretty close to returning though. He hasn't been available since Nov. 29. Jan 27 |
| 4 | Mark Letestu ActiveMark Letestu (groin/abdominal surgery) has been taken off of the injured reserve list. Letestu will play on Tuesday for the first time since Oct. 28. He's projected to center the third line, which will also include Jeremy Morin and Jack Skille. Michael Chaput and Adam Cracknell have been sent to the minors to make room for Letestu and the return of Cam Atkinson. Jan 6 |
| 5 | Brian Gibbons I.L.Brian Gibbons (knee) has now missed roughly five weeks after initially being projected to miss two-to-three. Despite that, Blue Jackets coach Todd Richards insists that Gibbons hasn't suffered a setback. "It's a knee, so everybody reacts differently," Richards said. "I wouldn't say it's severe, but it's something that has gone on a bit longer. All I know is that he is progressing, too." Gibbons hasn't accompanied the Blue Jackets on their current road trip, so he obviously won't return for Wednesday's game in Winnipeg. Jan 21 |
| LW | 1 | Scott Hartnell ActiveScott Hartnell had his three-game point streak snapped as the Jackets were shutout 4-0 on Wednesday night. The Blue Jackets were stymied by super rookie Michael Hutchinson who stopped all 29 shots sent his way. Hartnell did have two PIMS, two shots and three hits so it wasn't a completely useless night. Columbus does go into the All-Star break on a sour note with an injury to star goalie Sergei Bobrovsky in the loss. Jan 22 |
| 2 | Nick Foligno ActiveAs the team captain and representative of the host city in the All-Star Game, Nick Foligno got far more league-wide attention over the weekend than he's likely accustomed to. Foligno has been a solid player for years, but he's stepped up this season with 18 goals and 42 points in 44 contests. For some hockey fans outside of Columbus, this was essentially their introduction to him despite the fact that he's played in 510 career games. "I was nervous, for sure," Foligno said of playing such a central role in this year's All-Star weekend. "My first time being an All-Star, first time really being around these guys, you just want to — being honest here — fly under the radar and feel it out as you go. I just decided that I was going to embrace this. I really enjoyed every minute. I can't tell you how humbled I am and so excited to be around everybody. I had a blast with it all." He also had a goal and an assist in the All-Star Game. Jan 26 |
| 3 | Matt Calvert ActiveMatt Calvert scored twice for the Blue Jackets in a 3-1 win over Boston Saturday. It was a tough night for Calvert as he had to go to the locker room on occasion as he was suffering from the stomach flu. In addition, he took an elbow from Carl Soderberg and had to be checked out in the quiet room. That he came back from all that and scored the winner and insurance goal was quite a feat. Calvert now has six goals and 12 points in 33 games this season. Jan 18 |
| 4 | Jack Skille ActiveColumbus has activated Jack Skille (lower body) off of the injured reserve list. Skille is expected to play on Monday for the first time since Jan. 9. The Blue Jackets now have 13 healthy forwards, so one of them will have to be scratched and Josh Anderson is a likely candidate. Jan 19 |
| 5 | Boone Jenner I.L.Boone Jenner will miss the next one-two months with a stress fracture in his lower back. This is a big loss for the Blue Jackets as Jenner is a strong two-way player. Jenner had been hot of late as he had five goals during the Blue Jackets seven game winning streak that ended on Thursday. Reserve him for now. Dec 21 |
| 6 | Jeremy Morin ActiveJeremy Morin returned to action on Tuesday January 27. Jan 28 |
| RW | 1 | Cam Atkinson ActiveCam Atkinson scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 defeat of the Capitals. A lot more was expected from Atkinson than he has produced to date, as his goal snaps a 17-game stretch without tickling the twine. The fact he registered five shots on goal on Tuesday might be a sign that he's finding his groove again. Fedor Tyutin also picked up a goal and an assist in the win while Ryan Johansen and Mark Letestu added markers of their own. Jan 27 |
| 2 | Alexander Wennberg ActiveAlexander Wennberg replaced Brandon Dubinsky as the second line center on Friday. The Blue Jackets shuffled some of their lines as Dubinsky was dropped to the fourth line to start the game and Wennberg took his spot on the second unit between Jeremy Morin and Cam Atkinson. Wennberg was strong on the face off as he won 10 of 14. The 14th overall pick in the 2013 Draft is just getting his feet wet in the NHL and while his one goal and five points in 32 games with a minus-16 rating certainly does not bode well for fantasy hockey, he does have a lot of talent and should not be overlooked in keeper leagues. Jan 17 |
| 3 | Jared Boll ActiveForward Jared Boll and defensemen Jordan Leopold and Cody Goloubef are expected to be healthy scratches Wednesday against the Jets. No surprises here as all three were previous scratches on Monday against the Wild. With Jack Skille now back from a lower body injury, Boll appears to be the odd man out for the Blue Jackets. He had previously played in all 43 of Columbus' games this season, picking up just two assists and no goals to show for. Leopold and Goloubef have combined to score one goal and four assists in 27 games between the two defenseman. Neither have fantasy value. Jan 21 |
| 4 | Corey Tropp ActiveCorey Tropp will draw back into the lineup Saturday night against the New York Islanders with Jack Skille out with a lower body injury. Tropp has limited fantasy value with just one point, 37 PIMs and 35 hits through 25 games this season. Jan 10 |
| 5 | Josh Anderson ActiveAs expected, Josh Anderson has been called back up by Columbus. He was sent down to the minors during the All-Star break. Anderson made his NHL debut on Jan. 16 against the Rangers and he's appeared in four games with the Blue Jackets. Jan 26 |
| 6 | Nathan Horton I.L.An update on the status of Nathan Horton's degenerative back woes is likely to come when the Blue Jackets return home after their four game road trip. The Blue Jackets return to Columbus on Saturday January 10 so an update is expected the following week. Horton may require surgery and if he does, it may well put his hockey career in danger. "We’ll get together and take a look at it and see where we’re at," GM Jarmo Kekalainen said. "I don’t know that there’s anything new to report. My understanding is that (surgery) is not something anybody wants to look at." Horton has not played this season. Jan 3 |
| D | 1 | James Wisniewski ActiveDefenseman James Wisniewski was in on all three Columbus goals to spearhead the Columbus Blue Jackets to a 3-1 win against the Wild in Minnesota Monday night. Wisniewski scored the game-winner early in the third period, when he pinched in from the point to beat Minnesota goaltender Devan Dubnyk with a one-timer on a nice feed from behind the net by Nick Foligno at 5:35. Wisniewski also assisted on Brandon Dubinsky's first-period goal and Scott Hartnell's insurance goal with 3:03 left in regulation. Wisniewski now has five goals and 17 assists and ranks as one of the NHL's more productive defensemen. Dubinsky's goal was his third of the season. Hartnell scored his 10th. Jan 19 |
| 2 | Jack Johnson ActiveJack Johnson was minus-two on Friday and is now an NHL worst minus-18. It's been a tough year for the defenseman who had to file for bankruptcy on October 7 after his parents allegedly took advantage of him after Johnson gave them power over his finances. Johnson does have a goal and nine points with 12 penalty minutes but his plus/minus kills all his fantasy value, if you play the category in your pool. Nov 29 |
| 3 | Fedor Tyutin ActiveFedor Tyutin's game on Tuesday was the 700th of his career. Tyutin's offensive role has declined substantially this season and that's made him a non-factor in standard fantasy leagues. He still has value to the Blue Jackets though for his veteran presence and defensive work. At the age of 31, he seems capable of reaching the 1,000 game mark before his career is over, so long as he can stay relatively healthy. Jan 8 |
| 4 | Ryan Murray I.L.Ryan Murray (knee) won't make his return on Tuesday. It shouldn't be long now before Murray returns, but he's not quite ready. He has participated in just four contests in 2014-15. Jan 27 |
| 5 | David Savard ActiveDavid Savard had 10 hits on Friday to move into 28th overall in the NHL in the category. Savard certainly has fantasy value, especially if you use defenseman goals as a category as he has seven goals and 15 points this season in 39 games. He is a minus-10 which certainly takes away some value but overall, there are only 14 defensemen with more than seven goals thus far in the NHL. Jan 10 |
| 6 | Kevin Connauton ActiveKevin Connauton was a minus-four on Saturday. Connauton was a popular pickup on Yahoo the past two weeks so he could start getting dropped in many leagues as poolies are not known for their patience. He has six goals and 12 points in 28 games this season. Jan 11 |
| 7 | Jordan Leopold ActiveJordan Leopold and Cody Goloubef will be healthy scratches Monday against the Minnesota Wild. The two defensemen will be scratched yet again by the Blue Jackets in Monday's contest with the Wild. Leopold has a goal and two helpers in 20 games played while Goloubef has two assists in seven games in the 2014-2015 season. Neither have any fantasy value. Jan 19 |
| 8 | Cody Goloubef ActiveCody Goloubef and Jordan Leopold will be scratched against the New York Rangers on Friday night. Neither player has much fantasy value to speak of. Jan 16 |
| 9 | Dalton Prout ActiveDalton Prout will be a healthy scratch Wednesday against the Canadiens. Prout managed to crack the Jackets lineup in the team's last game on January 10th but will give way to Cody Goloubef Wednesday. Prout has been able to rack up 53 penalty minutes in 34 games played this season, but has just five assists and is a minus 11. Jan 14 |
| G | 1 | Sergei Bobrovsky I.L.Sergei Bobrovsky is expected to be out of action for four-to-six weeks with a groin injury. The Blue Jackets placed him on injured reserve retroactive to January 21. Anton Forsberg has been recalled from the minors to take his spot on the roster. Jan 26 |
| 2 | Curtis McElhinney ActiveCurtis McElhinney allowed three goals on 28 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Capitals. It's a good start for McElhinney, who is likely to see quite a bit of playing time while Sergei Bobrovsky nurses a serious groin injury. His record is 5-6-1 in limited action this year while his GAA is 2.98 and his save percentage is .906. Jan 27 |
| 3 | Anton Forsberg ActiveAnton Forsberg has been summoned from the minors. Columbus placed Sergei Bobrovsky on injured reserve Monday after learning that he's expected to miss four-to-six weeks because of a groin injury. Forsberg, who has excelled during his rookie season with AHL Springfield, will share the crease with Curtis McElhinney while Bobrovsky is sidelined. Jan 26 |
