Zach Werenski | Fantasy Outlook
Werenski anchors top pairing and PP1 as Blue Jackets host Rangers at Nationwide Arena
Zach Werenski leads the Blue Jackets onto home ice at Nationwide Arena tonight against the Metropolitan Division rival New York Rangers. Logging massive minutes on the top pairing while quarterbacking the PP1 unit alongside Adam Fantilli and Matthew Knies, Werenski is in solid form with two assists, eight shots, and 14 blocked shots across his last four games. Columbus enters as a slight home favorite in an anticipated higher-scoring matchup against a 6–3 Rangers squad that is expected to start Dylan Garand (unconfirmed) in goal.
Our daily projections expect Werenski to deliver ~1 point and ~2–3 shots on goal tonight, complemented by elite defensive peripherals with nearly three blocked shots for roughly 5.0 fantasy points. Looking at the weekly outlook, this matchup kicks off a weekend back-to-back, leaving Columbus with one game remaining tomorrow to wrap up their three-game slate with approximately 7.5 weekly fantasy points projected overall. Given his heavy workload, prime power-play role, and high floor, he is a must-play defenseman. Today’s action: Strong Start.
