  • Blue Jackets' Sean Kuraly: Gets on scoresheet with assist

    Kuraly provided an assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Predators.

    The helper on Zach Werenski's third-period tally was Kuraly's first point in seven appearances this season. Kuraly plays as a defense-first forward on the fourth line. He's posted just two shots on goal with 11 hits and a plus-2 rating. The 31-year-old has reached the 30-point mark once in his career and is unlikely to achieve that much scoring success in 2024-25.

  • Blue Jackets' Sean Kuraly: Credited with helper Friday

    Kuraly registered an assist in Friday's 7-3 preseason loss to the Penguins.

    Kuraly assisted on Cole Clayton's goal, and while that strike gave the Blue Jackets an early 2-0 lead in the first period, the Penguins would score five unanswered to turn things around. Kuraly had nine goals and nine assists across 62 regular-season games for the Blue Jackets as the fourth-line center in 2023-24, and he figures to maintain that role in 2024-25.

  • Blue Jackets' Sean Kuraly: Set to play

    Kuraly (lower body) will be in Sunday's lineup against Carolina, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

    Kuraly will return after missing the last 12 contests. The 31-year-old has been held to nine goals and 17 points in 57 appearances this season, including just two assists over his last 10 games. He'll skate in a fourth-line role Sunday.

  • Blue Jackets' Sean Kuraly: Won't play Saturday

    Kuraly (lower body) will not be in action versus the Flyers on Saturday, Coby Maeir of 1st Ohio Battery reports.

    While Kuraly is still considered day-to-day, with the back-to-back on the schedule, it seems unlikely the veteran center will be cleared in time to face the Hurricanes on Sunday, either. The New York native has already been out of action for the club's last 11 contests due to his lower-body problem. Once cleared to play, Kuraly will look to end his 10-game pointless streak.

  • Blue Jackets' Sean Kuraly: Not ready to return

    Kuraly (lower body) practiced Wednesday, but he won't be available for Thursday's game versus the Islanders, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

    Kuraly will miss an 11th straight game Thursday, but he's clearly making progress in his recovery. Either way, he's picked up only 17 points through 57 contests this season, so most fantasy managers shouldn't need to track his status.

  • Blue Jackets' Sean Kuraly: Dealing with lower-body injury

    Kuraly, who suffered a lower-body injury during Tuesday's 3-0 loss to Montreal, is considered week-to-week, according to Coby Maeir of 1st Ohio Battery on Wednesday.

    Kuraly has nine goals, 17 points, 38 PIM and 146 hits in 57 appearances in 2023-24. His exit from the lineup corresponds with the expected return of Kirill Marchenko (illness) for Thursday's game against Ottawa.

  • Blue Jackets' Sean Kuraly: Battling through injury

    Kuraly was "dinged up" in Tuesday's game versus the Canadiens, taking just three shifts in the third period, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

    It's unclear if the injury will force Kuraly to miss any time. The Blue Jackets' next game is Thursday versus the Senators. With the team thin at forward, it's possible he may play through the issue if it's minor.

  • Blue Jackets' Sean Kuraly: Scores twice Wednesday

    Kuraly scored a pair of goals in Wednesday's 7-4 victory over Anaheim.

    Kuraly snapped a six-game point drought with a goal early in the second period, directing an Alexandre Texier feed past John Gibson following a turnover to extend the Jackets' lead to 4-0.

  • Blue Jackets' Sean Kuraly: Finds twine in overtime loss

    Kuraly scored a goal, added two hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canucks.

    Kuraly briefly left the game after taking an elbow to the head in the third period, but he was able to finish the contest. This was his second straight game with a point. He's up to seven goals, 13 points, 55 shots on net, 86 hits, 30 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 40 outings this season. Kuraly continues to hold down the fourth-line center spot, though his defensive utility will often give him chances to pick up more playing time.

  • Blue Jackets' Sean Kuraly: Gathers helper in win

    Kuraly notched a shorthanded assist, three shots on goal, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

    The helper was Kuraly's first point in four games since he returned from a rib injury. He set up Alexandre Texier for the Blue Jackets' third goal. The 31-year-old Kuraly remains more of a defensive center filling a bottom-six role, so his scoring contributions aren't likely to be significant. He's managed 12 points, 54 shots on net, 84 hits, 30 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 39 appearances.
