Blue Jackets' Zach Werenski: Carries offense in shootout win
Werenski scored two goals in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Flyers.
Both tallies were impressive, and both of them tied the score for the Blue Jackets. Werenski stole the puck at his own blue line midway through the first period and beat Ivan Fedotov on a breakaway before ripping home a one-timer on a slick feed from Kirill Marchenko late in the third. The 27-year-old Werenski has stayed healthy this season and is having a breakout campaign under new head coach Dean Evason, and he seems to be getting stronger. Werenski has produced six multi-point performances in the last 10 games, a stretch in which he's erupted for four goals and 18 points with 54 shots on net, 17 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating.

Blue Jackets' Zach Werenski: Five-game, nine-point streak
Werenski had a goal and an assist in a 6-2 win over the Kraken on Thursday. The goal stood as the game-winner.
Werenski has nine points (two goals, seven assists) in a five-game point streak, and his 48 points put him in second in the NHL, one point behind Cale Makar in scoring by defensemen. Werenski makes the game look simple, and if he can pick up the pace slightly, he could flirt with a 100-point season.

Blue Jackets' Zach Werenski: On four-game point streak
Werenski provided a power-play assist in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Penguins.
Werenski helped out on Adam Fantilli's game-tying tally late in the third period. During his four-game point streak, Werenski has a goal and six assists while adding a plus-3 rating, 27 shots on net and nine blocked shots. The 27-year-old is showing just how good he can be when he has good health on his side. Overall, Werenski is at 12 goals, 34 helpers, 161 shots on net, 71 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 41 appearances. He's 11 points away from matching his career-best total from last season, and if his second half of 2024-25 is as good as the first, he could be up for Norris Trophy consideration.

Blue Jackets' Zach Werenski: Home scoring streak at 15 games
Werenski picked up two assists Saturday in a 6-4 win over the Blues.
Werenski extended his home point streak to 15 games (nine goals, 21 assists). His stretch pass to Adam Fantilli early in the third was flat-out filthy -- he fired it from behind his own net and laid a perfect bounce off the right-wing boards to Fantilli, who was at the St. Louis blue line. Werenski sits second in the NHL in scoring from the blue line with 45 points in 40 games and second in goals (12), too. He's having a Norris-caliber season; let's hope voters don't overlook him because of his jersey.

Blue Jackets' Zach Werenski: Three-point effort Thursday
Werenski produced a goal on eight shots while adding two assists, four blocked shots, one hit, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Red Wings.
It was another big performance for the 27-year-old blueliner, who nearly single-handedly kept the Blue Jackets in the game after they fell behind 3-1 in the first period. Werenski has three multi-point efforts in the last five games, a stretch in which he's erupted for a goal and 11 points, and on the season he's already amassed 12 goals and 43 points in 39 appearances as he roars toward a career-best campaign.

Blue Jackets' Zach Werenski: Huge workload in shootout win
Werenski produced a power-play assist while adding a game-high 11 shots on net in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Hurricanes.
The veteran blueliner saw an incredible 30:07 of ice time, and that was on a night when coach Dean Evason elected to go with 11 forwards and seven defensemen. Werenski scored a career-high 57 points (11 goals, 46 assists) in 2023-24 over 70 games, but he's on pace to shatter that mark in 2024-25. Through 38 appearances, he's already amassed 11 goals and 40 points, and his 145 shots on net puts him fifth in the NHL and first among all defenseman, behind only David Pastrnak (156), Brady Tkachuk (150), Nathan MacKinnon (148) and Jack Hughes (147). With the Blue Jackets surprisingly within striking distance of a playoff spot, Werenski is positioning himself to garner Norris Trophy votes at the end of the season.

He has notched seven assists over his last two games, and he's been nothing short of outstanding over the past few weeks. He's up to 12 assists and three goals in 14 December appearances.

Werenski had two even-strength assists and one helper on the power play in Monday's 5-4 win over Montreal. He also led the team with seven shots on net and three blocked shots.

The three assists upped his season total to 24 (10 on the power play), and the blueliner is second on the team with 35 points through 35 outings.

Blue Jackets' Zach Werenski: In lineup against Montreal
Werenski (leg) will be available for Monday's home matchup with the Canadiens, per Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.
Werenski is managing an injury to his left leg, but he'll give it a go in the last game before the league's Christmas break. The star defenseman will skate in his usual spot on the top defensive pairing alongside Dante Fabbro.

Blue Jackets' Zach Werenski: Managing leg injury
Werenski's status for Monday's game against the Canadiens is in question due to a left leg injury, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
Werenski said after Monday's morning skate that his injured left leg is "feeling OK," but a decision on his status against Montreal won't come until closer to puck drop. Following Monday's game, the Blue Jackets will have three days off due to the league's Christmas break, so he could sit against Montreal to give himself extra time to rest.

Blue Jackets' Zach Werenski: Nets power-play tally
Werenski scored a power-play goal, blocked three shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Devils.
Werenski continues to enjoy a strong December, though he hasn't logged a multi-point effort since Dec. 1. The defenseman has three goals and five assists over his last 11 contests, which is actually a bit of a decline in production. Overall, he's at 11 goals, 32 points (13 on the power play), 115 shots on net, 52 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 33 appearances this season. Werenski continues to return excellent value in fantasy while playing massive minutes for Columbus.

Blue Jackets' Zach Werenski: Leads NHL defensemen in goals

Werenski is on a three-game, three-point, power-play scoring streak that includes two goals and one assist. He sits third in the NHL in scoring with 30 points (29 games), but most impressively, his 10 goals are the most among NHL blueliners. Werenski set a career-best mark in points (57) last season, but he's about to blow that finish out of the water. He's a fantasy pillar.

The blueliner has eight goals, 19 helpers, 92 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating through 25 appearances. In addition to his NHL success, Werenski will represent Team USA at the 4 Nations Face-Off in February.

Werenski's putting it all together this season with eight goals, 18 assist, 86 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating through 23 appearances. The 27-year-old has been one of the top defensemen in fantasy, and he can help managers in every category except hits.

Blue Jackets' Zach Werenski: Streak at seven games, 14 points
Werenski scored a goal and added an assist Friday in a 5-2 win over the Flames. It stood as the winner.
Zach Attack continues -- the points extended his point streak to seven games and 14 points (five goals, nine assists). Werenski tied the Blue Jackets record for longest point streak by a defenseman set by Bryan Berard (2005-06) and Jaroslav Spacek (2002-03). The defender sits third in the NHL with 24 points, and his eight goals put him in a tie with Cale Makar for the league lead.

Blue Jackets' Zach Werenski: Runs scoring streak to six games
Werenski scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist, blocked a shot and was whistled for seven PIM in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to Montreal.
Werenski set up a Mathieu Olivier goal that gave Columbus a first-period lead then got a friendly bounce of a Montreal skate for the game-tying tally in the third period. In between he fought with Brendan Gallagher; it was a rare Gordie Howe hat trick for the blueliner who had four PIM over his first 20 outings. The two-point night extended the defenseman's point streak to six games, during which Werenski has four goals and eight assists. Overall, he has a team-high 22 points along with 79 shots, five hits and 33 blocks.

Blue Jackets' Zach Werenski: Helps out on power play
Werenski notched a power-play assist, three shots on goal, four blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Hurricanes.
Werenski helped out on a Dmitri Voronkov tally in the second period. While it wasn't a repeat effort of his five-point game from Thursday, Werenski has now gotten on the scoresheet in five straight contests (three goals, seven assists). The 27-year-old defenseman is operating at a point-per-game pace with six tallies and 14 assists through 20 outings, and eight of his points have come on the power play. He's added a plus-4 rating, 76 shots on net and 32 blocked shots. He just has to keep the injury bug at bay -- doing so will likely result in him resetting his career high in points for the second year in a row, with 57 being the mark to beat.

Blue Jackets' Zach Werenski: Five-point game new career mark
Werenski scored two goals, including the winner in overtime, and added three assists in a 7-6 overtime win over Tampa Bay.
It was a career game for Werenski, who logged 27:22, had eight shots and two blocks, and helped his team come back from an early 3-0 deficit. He's now tied for second among defenders in both goals (six) and points (19) in 19 games. Werenski is on a four-game, nine-point scoring streak (three goals, six assists) and he has a whopping 73 shots. That puts him third in the NHL behind David Pastrnak (87) and Brady Tkachuk (80). At some point, we all need to start talking about how much Werenski has elevated his game. And do it before his name ends up on a Norris Trophy ballot.
