Grigorenko has agreed to a three-year deal to return to CSKA Moscow.
EDGE Analysis
Grigorenko returns to the KHL after just one season back in the NHL that saw him register 12 points in 32 appearances for the Jackets. After getting another chance to be a full-time NHL player, Grigorenko once again opted for the KHL in his native Russia instead. As such, fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting him to get another shot in North America.

Grigorenko scored a goal on two shots and added four PIM in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Grigorenko tallied at 17:16 of the first period to tie the game at 1-1. He had sat out the previous three games as a healthy scratch. The Russian forward has three tallies, 10 points, 26 shots on net and six PIM in 26 appearances this year, mainly in a bottom-six role.

Grigorenko recorded an assist in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Grigorenko had the secondary assist on Jack Roslovic's first-period tally. The 26-year-old Grigorenko should be a fixture in the lineup after Nick Foligno was traded to the Maple Leafs at the deadline. Grigorenko has nine points, 23 shots on net and a minus-3 rating in 24 outings this year -- he's not likely to score enough to warrant a roster spot in fantasy.

Grigorenko was promoted to the active roster Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Grigorenko likely will draw into the lineup for Sunday's matchup against the Panthers. The 26-year-old forward hasn't played an NHL game since Feb. 23, and he's accrued seven points through 18 appearances this year.

Grigorenko was reassigned to Columbus' taxi squad Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Grigorenko's picked up seven points in 18 top-level appearances this year, but he hasn't cracked the Blue Jackets' lineup since Feb. 23 against the Blackhawks.

Grigorenko was recalled to the active roster Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Grigorenko hasn't gotten into a game for the club since Feb. 23 against the Blackhawks, so his elevation to the active roster shouldn't be considered an indication he'll suit up against Carolina on Thursday. In his 18 appearances this year, the 26-year-old winger garnered two goals on 17 shots, five assists and eight hits while averaging 12:52 of ice time.

Grigorenko was reassigned to Columbus' taxi squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Grigorenko hasn't cracked the Blue Jackets' lineup since Feb. 23, so he's clearly the odd man out in terms of the team's forward group at this point.

Grigorenko was promoted to the active roster Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Grigorenko hasn't played since Feb. 23, but he could draw into the lineup for Monday's game versus the Hurricanes. The 26-year-old likely will skate in the bottom six if he suits up. He has accrued seven points through 18 games this year.
