  • • 2021 Player Review: Liam Foudy had a forgettable first season with the Columbus Blue Jackets
    James Guillory-USA TODAY Sports No goals in 24 games before being sent back to Cleveland and spending a chunk of the season injured … not exactly how you want to see your first round pick develop. Liam Foudy burst onto the scene in the bubble last year, playing 10 games, including 42:27 in the five-overtime game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. He scored an even strength goal in the decidi...2021
  • • 2021 Player Review: Emil Bemstrom
    Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports Unleash the Scorer Within After Emil Bemstrom’s 2019-2020 rookie season, the 22-year-old right winger only played 20 games this season thanks to a stint on injured reserve beginning on March 18th due to a lower body injury. The recovery took longer than expected, causing the Swede to miss 6 weeks in the line-up. However, he had trouble finding the net pr...2021
  • • 2021 Player Review: Vladislav “Dadislav” Gavrikov
    Aaron Doster-USA TODAY Sports He had a big season in many ways! To say the very least, it was a turbulent year for the normally steady Blue Jackets defense. Zach Werenski’s season ended in early April with a inguinal/sports hernia, David Savard was traded away to Tampa Bay in the same week as Werenski’s injury, and Seth Jones informed the team he doesn’t plan to resign with Columbus in la...2021
  • • 2021 Player Review: Free (Kevin) Stenlund!
    James Guillory-USA TODAY Sports Kevin Stenlund always seems to do big things when he gets a chance to play. Kevin Stenlund’s next NHL game will be his 69th career game! Nice. When it comes to Stenlund, he seems to be a guy who does what you want on the ice but never really gets the opportunity to stick for the Columbus Blue Jackets. Since entering the league in 2018-19 he’s never played mo...2021
  • • 2021 Player Review: Mikhail Grigorenko, we hardly knew ya
    Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports Russian forward will return to the KHL for the 2021-22 season The excitement was evident prior to this season for both the Columbus Blue Jackets and Mikhail Grigorenko. Grigorenko couldn’t wait to move his whole family to Columbus and get involved with the team and community.

Schechter/NHLI via Getty Images But the cold was frigid Joonas Korpisalo entered the 2021 season with a new contract in hand, eager to build on his stand-out performance in the 2020 playoff bubble. That playoff run featured two shutouts of the potent Toronto offense and a record-setting 85 saves in a marathon five overtime game against Tampa. Sadly, that kind of dominance...2021

    Photo by Jamie Sabau/NHLI via Getty Images The Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman only played 35 games despite having decent numbers Dean Kukan may not be more than a bottom pair defenseman for the Columbus Blue Jackets, but there is plenty of evidence that he should have been a mainstay in the lineup for most of the season. For a team that struggled to move the puck and saw a lot of goals a...2021
  • • 2021 Player Review: Boone Jenner
    Russell LaBounty-USA TODAY Sports Not bad, not good - it just was! “There’s no one on this team that plays harder than him,” former head coach John Tortorella said after the game on Tuesday, April 7 when it became apparent that a broken finger would sideline Boone Jenner for the remainder of the Jackets’ season. Jenner suffered the season-ending injury after being hit in the hand with a sh...2021
  • • 2021 Player Review: Zach Werenski’s season was cut short, but he was by far the Blue Jackets’ best defenseman when he played
    Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports Werenski played well for the team even with a hernia for the duration of the season, but how much longer will he be here? Zach Werenski’s season was cut short with an abdominal hernia, but prior to his season’s untimely end, Werenski was easily the team’s best defenseman, surpassing the play of his more heralded partner. Hearing a lot of "Jones' numbers were ...2021

    Russell LaBounty-USA TODAY Sports Our new King of the net? Last weekend, I was pulling away from my parking spot at the grocery store, when I noticed an elderly man in the adjacent car with his window down, looking at me intently. I lowered my window. “Is that Elvis on your license plate?” Why, yes! MERZLI sure is a conversation starter. We proceeded to discuss our mutual admiration for th...2021

    Aaron Doster-USA TODAY Sports Experience gained at the center ice position should prove invaluable next year.

After an injury shortened rookie campaign, Tex returned in time for the playoffs and found himself on the top line, where he appeared to fit right in and play a very effective game. It seeme...2021

    Photo by Kirk Irwin/Getty Images The Blue Jackets acquired a pure goal scorer they surely need. Now they need to lock him up and realize and see that consistency. We reviewed Jack Roslovic last week, a player some might have considered as an extra throw-in to the Pierre-Luc Dubois-for-Patrik Laine deal last season. Instead, he was a huge surprise and among the lone bright spots for Columbu...2021
  • • 2021 Player Review: Seth Jones is still one of the most important Blue Jackets
    Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports He can determine our team’s future. The season was 2019-2020. A disproportionate number of Columbus Blue Jackets were dropping like flies with injuries. The Cleveland Monsters were riding the I-71 express to fully ice our NHL team. New faces and expectations were both unfamiliar and uncertain. Yet, the Blue Jackets kept winning. And winning. That was, until Se...2021

As we wrap up the training camp portion of things with goaltenders, I feel like we have a much better forecast of what’s ahead with Joonas Korpisalo and Elvis Merzlikins! But with the shortened 56-game season ahead, the...2021

    What does the future hold for the dean of the defense? On October 7, 2011, the Columbus Blue Jackets opened their season at home against the division rival Nashville Predators and lost by a score of 3-2. Scott Arniel was the head coach.

At 6’3 and 213 lbs., he’s hard to miss. He’s built like a truck and he’ll hit you like one, too. His pairing with David Savard just made sweet sense.

At the beginning of the 2019-20 season, Joonas Korpisalo had some big Russian shoes to fill.
