Jordan Harris - Posts assist Thursday Harris logged an assist and two hits in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Islanders.
Impact Harris played in the Blue Jackets' last four games of the season after a 22-game stint as a healthy scratch. The 24-year-old was limited to five points, 15 shots on net, 23 hits and 35 blocked shots over 33 appearances this season. He's one of four restricted free agents for the Blue Jackets this summer, who also have nine unrestricted free agents. Given his poor season, he probably won't be prioritized in negotiations, assuming he's given a qualifying offer.

Dante Fabbro - Pots goal Thursday Fabbro scored a goal on three shots, blocked five shots and went plus-3 in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Islanders.
Impact Fabbro posted six points over 10 contests in April to end the season strong. The 26-year-old defenseman flourished with the Blue Jackets after getting claimed off waivers from the Predators. He ends the campaign with nine goals, 26 points, 89 shots on net, 67 hits, 143 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a plus-20 rating over 68 appearances. Fabbro is an unrestricted free agent this summer, one of nine UFAs on the Columbus roster, but general manager Don Waddell will likely have him near the top of the list for contract talks between now and July 1.

Sean Kuraly - Tallies in season finale Kuraly scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Islanders.
Impact Kuraly ended his 22-game goal drought in the season finale. The 32-year-old's 17 points in 82 games this season represented his lowest output during his four years with the Blue Jackets. He added 88 shots on net, 163 hits, 45 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a minus-4 rating. It's a bad time to have a poor year, as Kuraly is set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Dmitri Voronkov - Deposits goal Thursday Voronkov scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Islanders.
Impact Voronkov had a positive end to the campaign with three goals and two assists over the last nine contests. Still, it was a tale of two halves for the winger, who racked up 34 points over his first 43 games of the season after his debut was delayed to Nov. 1 due to an upper-body injury. From Feb. 1 through the end of the season, he was limited to 13 points over 30 outings. While still solid numbers -- a total of 47 points in 73 games -- Voronkov is at risk of getting lost in the shuffle as the Blue Jackets give more prospects a look. He added 154 shots on net, 71 hits, 47 blocked shots, 55 PIM and a plus-17 rating, so he should be good to at least start in a middle-six role in 2025-26.
APRIL 18 • ROTOWIRE
Adam Fantilli - Tacks on goal Fantilli scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Islanders.
Impact Fantilli ended the season on a tear with seven goals over his last six games. That's a preview of his potential for 2025-26, as the 20-year-old center took a big leap forward in his sophomore season. He posted 31 goals, 54 points, 191 shots on net, 113 hits, 56 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 82 appearances. Fantilli should be in the mix for top-six minutes and power-play time next season as he looks to continue to grow his game.
APRIL 18 • ROTOWIRE
Zach Werenski - Two points in Thursday's win Werenski scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Islanders.
Impact The 27-year-old put the finishing touches on a career-best campaign by extending his point streak to six games. No player exemplified the Blue Jackets' stunning season better than Werenski -- after struggling to stay on the ice over the last few years due to injuries, the All-Star blueliner played 81 games and delivered a career-high 23 goals and 82 points, putting him second in the NHL among defensemen in both categories behind only Cale Makar. Werenski also established new career highs in shots on net (298), power-play points (25) and blocked shots (131).
APRIL 18 • ROTOWIRE
Cole Sillinger - Two-point effort in finale Sillinger produced a goal and an assist in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Islanders.
Impact After a scoreless first period, Sillinger opened the scoring early in the second with a wicked wrister past Marcus Hogberg. The 21-year-old center didn't take a big step forward with his offensive output in 2024-25, managing 11 goals and a career-high 33 points in 66 appearances, but he should be entrenched as a middle-six forward next season on the Blue Jackets' young and rapidly improving roster.
