Columbus Blue Jackets
2023 Fantasy Outlook
A former captain at the University of Michigan, Blankenburg received far more NHL action than most expected a season ago due to Zach Werenski's shoulder injury. He appeared in 36 games for the team and was effective, posting four goals and 10 points while averaging 1:15 per game with the man advantage. Werenski is healthy now, and Ivan Provorov and Damon Severson have arrived via trade to fill top-four roles for the club, meaning Blankenburg is looking at either a third-pairing gig or a trip to AHL Cleveland to start the 2023-24 campaign.

Blankenburg was called up from AHL Cleveland on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Blankenburg has three goals and 13 points in 21 contests with Cleveland this season. He's also provided five goals and 17 points in 49 career NHL games. Blankenburg might spend the rest of the campaign with the Blue Jackets because Jake Bean is done for the season after suffering a broken hand during Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Islanders.
