CBJ team update new look

The Columbus Blue Jackets have activated forward Dmitri Voronkov off Injured Reserve, club President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Don Waddell announced today. Voronkov, who suffered an upper body injury in a preseason game vs. Pittsburgh on Oct. 3, has missed the first nine games of the regular season.

The 24-year-old native of Angarsk, Russia made his NHL debut with the Blue Jackets in 2023-24, finishing with 18 goals and 16 assists for 34 points with 52 penalty minutes, six power play goals and 142 shots on goal, while averaging 13:27 of ice time in 75 contests. The 6-5, 227-pound forward led NHL rookies in power play goals and finished fifth in goals, seventh in shots on goal and eighth-T in points last season. He also posted the third-most goals and power play goals by a rookie in franchise history. Voronkov was selected by the Blue Jackets in the fourth round, 114th overall, at the 2019 NHL Draft.
