Voronkov put up two assists Friday in a 5-2 win over Calgary.

EDGE Analysis

Voronkov has seven points (three goals, four assists) in a five-game point streak. The big, powerful winger has great skill and finish, and he's been a bit of a fantasy revelation playing on the top line with Sean Monahan and Kirill Marchenko. Overall, Voronkov has five goals, five assists and 25 shots in 13 games this season.

Voronkov scored a power-play goal on three shots, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Voronkov has four goals and two assists over his last five games. He took a little time to settle back in after missing October with an upper-body injury, but he's all the way back now. The Blue Jackets have an interesting composition of forwards, with offense spread across three lines, so Voronkov could be an option in some fantasy formats. He has seven points, 23 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 11 appearances.

Voronkov scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Thursday's 7-6 overtime win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Voronkov helped lay the foundation for a comeback from an early 3-0 deficit. He set up Sean Monahan for the first Columbus goal, and Monahan returned the favor on the team's next tally early in the second. With three goals and two assists over his last four games, Voronkov is again looking like a player who was able to make an impact in bursts at times in 2023-24. He's earned six points, 20 shots on net and a minus-2 rating over 10 outings this season, though it's his top-six role currently that gives him some appeal in fantasy.

Voronkov scored a goal and added two PIM in Monday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Voronkov has three goals and an assist over his last six games, accounting for all of his offense across nine outings. The 24-year-old has mostly seen middle-six usage, though he was listed on the top line for Monday's game. He's added 16 shots on net and a minus-3 rating, but he also has just three hits after logging 83 hits in 75 contests last year.

Voronkov recorded a goal and an assist in Friday's 6-2 win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Voronkov recorded his first multi-point effort of the season, but he's been far from being a consistent performer for Columbus. The 24-year-old has only three points in seven outings this season. Voronkov will need to get things going soon if he has any designs of approaching the numbers he posted as a rookie when he notched 18 goals and 34 points across 75 regular-season appearances in 2023-24.

Voronkov scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Voronkov picked up his first point in four contests this season when he opened the scoring at 13:26 of the first period. The 24-year-old has added seven shots on net, two PIM and a minus-3 rating while filling a bottom-six role. He saw top-six usage at times in 2023-24 en route to an 18-goal, 34-point effort over 75 games as a rookie. He'll have a tough time reaching those marks again unless he starts to see a larger role.

Voronkov (upper body) will make his season debut versus Winnipeg on Friday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Voronkov was injured in a preseason game against the Penguins, and it was thought that he would be out of action until the end of November, but he is ready to play. The 24-year-old had 18 goals and 34 points in 75 regular-season games last season. Look for Voronkov to begin as a bottom-six forward upon his return.

Voronkov (upper body) is practicing with the team Friday, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Voronkov was expected to return by the end of November, according to general manager Don Waddell's comments two weeks ago, but it appears that he could be ahead of schedule. Voronkov had 18 goals and 34 points in 75 regular-season contests in 2023-24 and is likely to return to his role as a middle-six forward when healthy.

Per Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site, Voronkov (upper body) will not require surgery, general manager Don Waddell said Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Voronkov is expected to return by the end of November, according to Waddell. Voronkov was injured a week ago in a preseason game against the Penguins. He had 18 goals, 16 assists, 52 PIM and 83 hits in 75 regular-season appearances in 2023-24 for the Blue Jackets.

Voronkov (upper body) was placed on injured reserve by Columbus on Friday, per Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Voronkov will miss a considerable amount of time, according to Portzline's sources, but there's no official timetable for the 24-year-old forward's return. He had 18 goals, 34 points, 52 PIM and 83 hits in 75 contests with the Blue Jackets in 2023-24. When healthy, Voronkov will likely serve in a middle-six capacity. His absence might lead to James Malatesta, who was projected to begin the season in the minors, play for Columbus in its season opener against Minnesota on Thursday.
