Voracek notched two assists in Thursday's win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
He had the lone helper on two key tallies for the Blue Jackets, setting up Patrik Laine for Columbus' first goal of the night in the first period and then feeding Cole Sillinger for the eventual game-winner in the third. Voracek has at least one point in four straight games and eight of the last nine, and on the season the veteran winger is up to 37 points -- two goals and 35 assists -- through 49 contests.

Voracek notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Voracek's shot attempt led to a rebound for Boone Jenner to bury at 6:58 of the first period. The 32-year-old Voracek has racked up a goal and five assists (four on the power play) in his last six games -- he was only held off the scoresheet Tuesday in Calgary in that span. The winger is up to 33 points (15 on the power play), 87 shots on net and a minus-8 rating through 46 appearances overall.

Voracek scored and added an assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Voracek gained speed through the neutral zone before wiring a wrister from the top of the right circle that beat Dustin Tokarski just 16 seconds into the extra frame. It was just his second goal in 43 games this season and first since Nov. 13. Despite Voracek's low goal output, he has 29 points in 42 games and he's riding a three-game, four-point scoring streak.

Voracek took five shots in a 6-0 loss to the Flames on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Voracek did his best to try and match the breakneck pace of the Flames, but it was not meant to be. The left winger has really lost his touch in the goal scoring department, with just one goal and 26 assists in 38 games this season.

Voracek provided an assist in a 2-1 loss to the Senators on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Voracek is up to two assists over his last three games since returning from COVID-19 protocols. The 32-year-old has struggled to score goals over the last three seasons, but has been valuable as a helper. The left winger sits at one goal and 26 assists in 37 games.

Voracek will be activated off the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list and return to action Thursday versus Philadelphia, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Voracek is expected to return to a featured role following his two-game absence, skating on the Blue Jackets' second line and top power-play unit against the Flyers. The 32-year-old vet has racked up 25 points through 34 contests this season.

Voracek (COVID-19 protocols) is not expected to be in the lineup against the Flyers on Thursday, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Considering the Jackets are heading into a back-to-back, it seems unlikely Voracek will be ready to play versus Pittsburgh on Friday either, though he hasn't been officially ruled out. While goals have been hard to come by for the 32-year-old winger, he remains on pace to get back over the 60-point threshold for the first time since 2018-19.

Voracek entered the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Voracek will need to provide two negative COVID-19 tests before rejoining the Blue Jackets, so he'll miss Thursday's clash with Carolina at a minimum. With Voracek sidelined, look for Alexandre Texier (not injury related) to draw into the lineup against the Hurricanes.

Voracek picked up two assists in a 4-3 win over the Devils on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Voracek has 25 points, including 24 helpers, in 33 games this season, but only seven helpers in his last 14 games. He's not the offensive stud he was at the start of the season, but he's better than his current pace. Be patient -- Voracek will settle somewhere in the middle soon enough.

Voracek (undisclosed) will be in the lineup versus Nashville on Thursday, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Voracek avoided missing any time due to his undisclosed injury thanks to the extended Christmas break. The veteran winger is mired in a 16-game goalless streak, though he has racked up 10 helpers over that stretch including four with the man advantage.
