Bobrovsky allowed one goal on 24 shots in the Blue Jackets win over the Senators on Saturday. Joonas Korpisalo started the front-end of the back-to-back, so Bobrovsky will start tonight in New York. He is riding a five-game winning streak while allowing just 10 combined goals on 153 shots (.935 SV%). He is also 2-1-0 with a 1.67 GAA and .949 SV% vs. the Rangers this season.

Jones traveled to Boston but will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury. Jones could be ready to go when the Blue Jackets get to New York for Tuesday’s game against the Rangers. Monitor his status tomorrow.

Jones missed Saturday’s game vs. the Senators with an upper-body injury but he could be back tonight vs. the Bruins. Jones travelled to Boston but the Blue Jackets rarely hold a morning skate, so we might not get an update on Jones’ status until closer to game-time.



Tkachuk is still dealing with a suspected concussion and will not play tonight vs. the Sharks. With Tkachuk out, Sam Bennett will continue to skate on the Flames’ second line.


Jones was forced to leave Monday’s game for vs. Montreal but head coach John Tortorella said that it was precautionary. Jones was still able to pick up a goal and an assist before leaving the game, giving him four goals and three assists (seven points) in his last three games. Make sure he’s active in all formats on Thursday.

Marchand missed Sunday’s game against the Blackhawks but he will draw back into the lineup tonight. Marchand should be active in all formats, especially against Cam Ward and the Hurricanes who are in the second game of a back-to-back.

Tkachuk was not on the ice for the second straight day and will miss tonight’s game vs. the Oilers with a suspected concussion. With Tkachuk out, Sam Bennett will move up the lineup and play on the second line and Chris Stewart will draw back in the lineup. Tkachuk is officially listed as day-to-day.

Marchand took the ice for warmups but was a late scratch against the Blackhawks on Sunday afternoon. However, he was on the ice for the Bruins morning skate on Tuesday and should play despite being labeled as a game-time decision.

Bobrovsky allowed two goals on 24 shots in the Blue Jackets win over the Red Wings on Friday. Bobrovsky missed a couple of games with an illness, but has played well recently—the 29-year-old has won four of his last five starts while allowing 11 goals on the 153 shots (.928 SV%). Tonight he will take on the Canadiens for the third time and comes in 1-1-0 with a 1.51 GAA and .946 SV% in the first two meetings.

Tkachuk was hurt late in Sunday’s game vs. the Islanders following a collision with Mathew Barzal and his absence from Monday’s practice makes him questionable for Tuesday’s game vs. the Oilers. Before panicking, check on Tkachuk’s status during tomorrow’s morning skate .

Kulikov was sent back to Winnipeg after suffering an upper-body injury in New Jersey last Thursday. With Kulikov out for the next two games, Joe Morrow will remain on the Jets blueline in Washington on Monday.



Bobrovsky allowed two goals on 35 shots in the Blue Jackets win in San Jose on Saturday. Joonas Korpisalo started the last two games with Bobrovsky battling an illness, but Bob is ready to go tonight vs. the Red Wings. Bobrovsky has a great matchup with Detroit in town—he comes in having won three of his last four with a 2.27 GAA and .930 SV%.

Bobrovsky missed Tuesday’s game vs. the Golden Knights with an illness but is good to backup on Thursday. Korpisalo was great against Vegas so he has been rewarded with a second straight start and it gives Bobrovsky an extra days rest prior to tomorrow’s projected start vs. the Red Wings.

Bobrovsky will not dress against Vegas tonight, so Joonas Korpisalo will get the start and Jeff Zatkoff is up from Cleveland (AHL) to back him up. Bobrovsky is day-to-day and should be ready for either Thursday vs. the Avalanche or Friday vs. the Red Wings.
