Yegor Chinakhov is likely to replace Miles Wood in Blue Jackets' lineup after injury. Can he earn a full-time role in Columbus?

The way coach Dean Evason hit the "scramble" button on his forward lines and special-teams units in practice Wednesday is worth noting.

The Columbus Blue Jackets dropped a frustrating season opener to the Nashville Predators but feel encouraged by how they played.

Despite outplaying the New Jersey Devils in the first period, the Columbus Blue Jackets stumbled again to drop their sold out home opener.

Columbus forward Miles Wood will miss at least a week after taking a high stick to his face during Monday's 3-2 road loss to the New Jersey Devils, Blue Jackets coach Dean Evason said on Wednesday.

The 6-4, right-handed Jones was a three-time All-Star playing next to Werenski and played a big role in helping the Blue Jackets win their first playoff series in 2019 against the Lightning. He had three goals and nine points in that 10-game playoff run.

Despite committing eight penalties and allowing four power-play goals, the Columbus Blue Jackets showed poise in road win over Minnesota Wild.
