Blue Jackets Activate Mason Marchment, Place Denton Mateychuk on IR as Isac Lundeström Returns

Columbus regains forward depth for tonight’s game against Dallas after weeks of injuries.

Overview

  • GM Don Waddell announced Marchment’s activation and Mateychuk’s injured-reserve placement, retroactive to Jan. 11, with Marchment expected to play against the Stars.
  • Lundeström was activated Tuesday after missing 12 games with a lower-body injury sustained in a Dec. 27 practice.
  • Marchment missed eight games with an upper-body injury and produced five goals and seven points in his first seven games with Columbus after a trade from Seattle.
  • Mateychuk’s retroactive IR status allows a return once he is healthy and a roster spot opens; the 21-year-old averages 20:20 per game with 21 points this season.
  • Since Rick Bowness took over on Jan. 12, Columbus is 3-1-0 and sits 22-20-7, seven points back of the final Eastern Conference wild-card spot.
