Roslovic has been a healthy scratch for Columbus' last two games but will draw back into the lineup Thursday vs. Philadelphia. Through 14 games, the seven-year veteran has one goal and six points through 14 games with a -5 plus/minus rating as he has struggled on the defensive side of things.
Roslovic has just one assist in his last seven games, so he'll come out of the lineup vs. the Flyers on Tuesday. Sean Kuraly will return from injury to replace Roslovic.
The Blue Jackets are in Buffalo on Monday and they'll be without Roslovic, Boone Jenner and Gabriel Carlsson, who entered protocol on Sunday.
Roslovic has just five points (3G / 2A) in his last 15 games and three of those points came in one game (Nov.22). Justin Danforth will replace him in the Blue Jackets' bottom-6.
Roslovic got off to a great start with the Blue Jackets but has quickly found himself in John Tortorella's doghouse. Roslovic has just one goal and one assist in his last six games and will be scratched in favour of a seventh defenseman on Saturday.
Roslovic did not have to go through the same visa issues as Patrik Laine or the same quarantine, since he never reported to Winnipeg. Roslovic, who had 29 points (12G / 17A) in 71 games last season, will centre a line with Cam Atkinson and Boone Jenner in his debut.
Accompanying his trade back to his hometown is a fresh two-year deal for the previously unsigned RFA. Roslovic will have to undergo a mandatory 14-day quarantine following this trade but should make his Blue Jackets debut sometime in early-February.
Roslovic was an unsigned RFA who had made it clear he didn't want to be in Winnipeg anymore. This deal couldn't have been better for the 23-year-old, who is a native of Columbus, Ohio. The 2015 first-round pick (No.25 overall) registered 67 points (26G / 41A) in 180 career NHL games wth the Jets.
Roslovic left the morning skate early because he “cramped up,” so he will be a game-time decision vs. the Ducks. Roslovic has heated up recently, scoring two goals with one assist in his last five games.
Roslovic has played in every game so far this season, but will give way to Nic Petan vs. the Panthers on Friday. The young centre played just 4:21 TOI yesterday and has averaged just 7:20 TOI/GM in 13 contests this season, amassing just two assists.
Roslovic went back to the Moose during the Jets bye week but is set to continue his NHL career this weekend. The 2015 first-round pick (No.25 overall) has yet to record an NHL point, but he has registered 15 goals and 20 assists (35 points) in 32 game with Manitoba.
