In my Ramblings on Tuesday, this column went over some forwards that have a couple of signs of positive regression that we look for when trying to figure out who is due for a rebound. Yesterday, these Ramblings covered the same signs of positive regression but for defencemen. Today, we’re going in the other direction: [...]
Elvis Merzlikins was the starting goalie for Columbus on Wednesday night. This is kind of important because that makes four of the last seven games started by Merzlikins, all seven games coming under the tenure of Rick Bowness. This is… not ideal for anyone with Jet Greaves on their fantasy roster. Greaves had started nearly [...]
The Monday night game between the Columbus Blue Jackets and Los Angeles Kings Postponed was postponed due to the snowstorm that ran/is running through a good chunk of North America. It has been rescheduled for early March. * Pittsburgh winger Bryan Rust will have a hearing for his high hit on Brock Boeser over the [...]
The Columbus Blue Jackets welcomed Mason Marchment back into the lineup on Thursday night after missing the last eight games. He was back on the top line with Adam Fantilli and Kirill Marchenko, looking to pick up where he left off. * Ottawa announced that winger David Perron will be out over a month due [...]

Going into Monday night’s game against San Jose, the Panthers sat four points back of the final Wild Card playoff spot and eight points back of third [...]
In a bit of good injury news, Minnesota Wild centre Joel Eriksson Ek was skating before the team’s morning warmup on Thursday, according to Michael Russo. He did not play on Thursday night, but that he’s on the ice and skating with coaches is a good sign that he may not be out for a [...]
The Colorado Avalanche provided a positive update on goaltender Scott Wedgewood and Mackenzie Blackwood as both are expected at practice for Thursday, per Evan Rawal. That is especially good news on Blackwood, who has yet to make a start in calendar 2026. Colorado hosts the Nashville Predators on Friday night, their only remaining game this [...]
