The Columbus Blue Jackets were hit by preseason injuries but have remained healthy through the first month of the season.
The Columbus Blue Jackets have regained key defensive depth following their recent three-game road trip. Defensemen Dante Fabbro and Ivan Provorov returned to the lineup after the team started the season missing two of their top six defensemen. Their absences previously forced Zach Werenski into heavy ice time exceeding 29 minutes per game alongside fill-ins Carson Soucy, Emil Andrae, and Jake Christiansen.
Forward Isac Lundestrom remains the lone major absence after undergoing summer surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon, with no current timetable for his return. Columbus next hosts the Colorado Avalanche at Nationwide Arena on Tuesday.
