#CBJ head coach Pascal Vincent not 100 percent sure Marchenko comes out for Johnson tonight. Hard to sit anyone right now, he says.

#CBJ coach Pascal Vincent confirmed the plan is for Dmitri Voronkov to make his debut tomorrow night in Montreal. They want to see him play.

Based off practice today, the likely player out of the lineup is Kent Johnson, but the final determination is yet to be made.

#CBJ on the Nationwide Arena ice for practice before heading to Montreal for tomorrow night's game.

Based off sweater colors, Dmitri Voronkov could be in line for his debut in place of Kent Johnson, who is in a green "extras" sweater.

Important addendum to #CBJ release re: new 8:30 p.m. start time for #CBJ vs #FlyTogether -> power still isn’t on, so the new time is contingent on power coming back by AEP’s estimated 6 pm restore time https://t.co/VG9oXSIIzP

UPDATE: The start time of tonight’s game between the Columbus Blue Jackets and Anaheim Ducks at Nationwide Arena has been moved to 8:30 pm ET from the scheduled 6:30 pm ET start as a result of a power outage in downtown Columbus. Doors at the arena will open at 7:45 pm ET. https://t.co/JGxymfDZIs

Sounds like #CBJ and #NHLDucks are aiming for an 8:30pm ET puck drop with the power outage currently affecting Nationwide Arena in Columbus.Originally scheduled for 6:30pm ET as part of 16-game staggered schedule.

@BrianHedger
Told the ice inside @NationwideArena is fine due to a backup power source that keeps the coolers operating. The issue is just getting power restored to the arean for the other myriad purposes.

Patrik Laine didn’t make the trip to Minneapolis last night.

Took a direct elbow to head shot from Rasmus Andersson in the waning seconds of the Jackets’ 3-1 win over the Flames.

Haven’t heard whether Andersson will have a hearing with NHL Dept. of Player Safety.

Hard skate today.

#CBJ have returned Jet Greaves to @monstershockey after his emergency recall yesterday.

Head coach Pascal Vincent said yesterday that Elvis Merzlikins (stomach bug) was feeling better.

— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Oct 17, 2023

@BrianHedger
Severson didn't play a shift in the third and it was apparently a coach's decision. Vincent mentioned a "turnover in the defensive zone" that led to Detroit's second goal as the turning point.

That was a pass by Severson that was picked off & turned into a goal.

Zach Werenski is skating off and not putting much, if any, weight on his right leg. Took a hit behind the net after playing a puck, looked like it ended up being knee on knee. It's a major penalty on Garnet Hathaway. #CBJ

Based on #CBJ forward lines again today, it would appear that Kent Johnson and Liam Foudy will be healthy scratches for Thursday's opener. Looks like Adam Boqvist will be the odd man out on defense.

#CBJ HC Pascal Vincent said he hasn’t made a decision on whether or not Kent Johnson will play Thursday.

“I think there’s more pace to him,” Vincent said.

He added that he hopes that he’ll be Johnson’s coach for a long time because Johnson will have “a great career.”

With the NHL preseason now concluded, #CBJ forward Patrik Laine finished tied for fourth in the league with four goals and tied for second with eight points.

Emil Bemstrom tied for fifth in the NHL with seven points.

#CBJ HC Pascal Vincent told the media postgame Thursday that the team had no update on G Daniil Tarasov. This certainly points to Spencer Martin starting the season at the number two.

Vincent has said they'd like to have Jet Greaves in Cleveland if possible.
