Voracek (undisclosed) left Sunday's practice, according to Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear what happened with the veteran forward, though head coach Brad Larsen gave some insight. "He just wasn't feeling right. We'll see where he is tomorrow." As things stand now, Voracek should be treated as a game-time decision for Tuesday's game at Chicago.

Voracek notched an assist in Friday's 4-2 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Voracek only saw 12:53 of ice time in the contest after a mid-game shuffling of the lines by head coach Brad Larsen led to the winger playing less. The 32-year-old Voracek hasn't topped 15 minutes in any of the last three games, but he has two assists in that span. He's up to one goal, 16 helpers, 32 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 18 contests overall, and fantasy managers have little reason to worry about his reduced role lately.

Voracek recorded a pair of power-play assists and four shots on goal in Thursday's 5-4 shootout win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Voracek set up the first of Boone Jenner's two goals as well as a third-period tally from Zach Werenski. The two-helper game extended Voracek's point streak to seven contests, during which he has a goal and nine assists. The Czech winger is up to 15 points, 25 shots and 10 PIM in 14 games this year, with eight of his points coming with the man advantage.

Voracek produced an assist and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-3 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Voracek made the play to set up Yegor Chinakhov's first NHL tally at 15:42 of the third period. Those two wingers, centered by Cole Sillinger, have become a solid second line for the Blue Jackets. Voracek is up to a goal and 12 assists in 13 contests as the playmaker on the line, and he's picked up six of his points with the man advantage. As long he's racking up points in some fashion, he'll carry fantasy value at least as a depth option. He's riding a six-game point streak.

Voracek scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
He opened the scoring midway through the first period by potting his first goal of the season. Voracek extended his point streak to five games in the process, and he's been plenty productive even without finding the back of the net with 12 points through 12 contests in his return to Columbus.

Voracek registered two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Voracek set up the first of Cole Sillinger's goals in the contest as well as Jake Bean's game-winner in overtime. The 32-year-old Voracek has excelled as a playmaker this year with nine helpers in as many games. He's always been more of a pass-first winger, and he's making the most of his chance as a top-line option in his second stint with the Blue Jackets.

Voracek has yet to light the lamp in his second go-around with Columbus, but he has provided seven assists in eight games.
