Provorov will be a game-time decision Thursday after missing practice Wednesday with an illness, according to Adam Kimelman of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Provorov has two goals and 21 points in 39 games as he has taken over quarterbacking the first power play in the absence of Zach Werenski (ankle). Provorov has six assists with the man advantage this year. Should he be unable to go, Andrew Peeke would enter the lineup in Provorov's place.

Provorov collected two assists in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran blueliner helped set up Adam Fantilli for a first-period tally before having a hand in the second-period goal that completed a hat trick for Kirill Marchenko. Provorov has failed to find the scoresheet in six of the last eight games but has recorded two assists in the other two, and he's up to two goals and 19 points over 33 contests in his first season with the Blue Jackets.

Provorov scored a goal in Monday's 5-2 home victory against the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Provorov had a busy night, ending up with a plus-2 rating, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and a hit while posting a game-high 24:30 of ice time. The veteran has picked up the pace with two goals and five points with a plus-4 rating across the past seven contests after a four-game scoreless skid from Nov. 9-14. He'll look to keep up the good work in Wednesday's home game against the visiting Canadiens.

Provorov scored a goal on three shots in the Blue Jackets' 4-3 loss to the Capitals on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Provorov jammed the puck past Charlie Lindgren in a scrum to cut the Capitals' lead to 3-2. This gives the former Flyer his first goal as a Blue Jacket and points in back-to-back games. On the season, the Russian defenseman has one goal and 11 points in 18 games. He should continue to play in the Blue Jackets' top-four defensive core and second power-play unit.

Provorov recorded an assist and three blocked shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Provorov has three apples through his first four games donning a Blue Jackets sweater, which follows a 0.40 points-per-game output between seven years of service time with the Flyers. There should be some degree of comfort for the prolific left-shot defenseman since he remains in the Metropolitan Division, plus he's back to being a factor on the man advantage after averaging a career-low 48 seconds of ice time in that spot with the Flyers last year.

Provorov collected two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

After being held off the scoresheet in his Blue Jackets debut Thursday, Provorov stepped up with a strong performance that also saw him deliver four blocked shots and a hit. With Zach Werenski (quadriceps) unavailable, Provorov remained on the second power-play unit while Damon Severson took over the point on the first unit, so the former Flyer's fantasy value may not see much of a bump in the short term.

Provorov (soreness) returned to practice Friday after missing a couple of days, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's a new beginning for Provorov, as he was dealt from the Flyers on June 6. Provorov had six goals, 21 assists, 162 blocked shots and a minus-24 rating last season while playing in all 82 games. Look for a big improvement this season, as he will be on a better Columbus team.

Provorov was traded to the Blue Jackets from the Flyers on Tuesday, TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The details of the trade have yet to be confirmed, but it looks like the Kings will be retaining part of Provorov's salary as the third party involved with this deal. The 26-year-old defender underwhelmed in 2022-23, picking up just 27 points through 82 games while posting a minus-17 rating. Nonetheless, perhaps a change of scenery will help Provorov reach his potential. Look for him to slot into a top-four role while seeing time with one of the Jackets' power-play units next season.

Provorov scored the game-winning goal in Philadelphia's 5-4 overtime victory over Chicago on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Provorov brought his 11-game goal slump to an end. This was the Flyers' season finale, so Provorov has completed the campaign with six markers and 27 points in 82 contests. He's surpassed the 25-point milestone in each of his first seven seasons, though he finished behind his 2021-22 totals of nine goals and 31 points.

Provorov recorded a pair of assists in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Provorov assisted on James van Riemsdyk's tally in the first period before setting up Owen Tippett for the game-winner with 16 seconds remaining in overtime. The two-point effort ends a 10-game pointless skid for Provorov. The 26-year-old blueliner is up to 26 points (five goals, 21 assists) with a minus-17 rating through 81 games this year.
