In a recent game, Zach Werenski of the Columbus Blue Jackets tied David Vyborny for second all-time in #CBJ history with 204 career assists. Kirill Marchenko scored his 18th goal of the season, assisted by Werenski and Johnny Gaudreau, leading the team to a 3-2 victory. The team added defenseman David Jiricek on emergency recall due to Werenski's injury, but Werenski ultimately played in the following game against the Colorado Avalanche.
#CBJ make it 1-0 on their first shot on goal. Gudbranson sends one in from the right point, and it caroms into the net after hitting something in front. 1-0 at 4:32 of the first period. That's Gudbranson's 5th of the season.
🚨 #CBJ goal: Erik Gudbranson For the second night in a row, CBJ with an early lead. The 42-4-86 line with a very strong forecheck and it ends up on Guddy's stick at the right point, and his shot goes off a Knight in front and past Hill. CBJ up 1-0 4: 33 in
1-0 #CBJ Gudbranson ... first shot of the game for the Blue Jackets out there in Vegas, baby, Vegas!
#CBJ Zach Werenski will play tonight vs. #GoAvsGo. David Jiricek a healthy scratch.
Jiricek recalled from @monstershockey on emergency basis. Will join the #CBJ in Denver, where Zach Werenski is questionable to play Friday after blocking a shot Tuesday in Detroit.
#CBJ have made the recall of David Jiricek official. If Zach Werenski is able to play vs. #GoAvsGo on Friday, Jiricek may hop a return flight from Denver to Cleveland. Werenski was hurt blocking a shot in Tuesday’s OT loss in Detroit.
#CBJ has a back-to-back tomorrow/Saturday and Zach Werenski blocked that shot late vs. Detroit, so the recall of David Jiricek will provide some cover should he not be able to go.

#CBJ expected to recall a defenseman from AHL Cleveland in case Zach Werenski isn't available to play vs. #GoAvsGo on Friday. Werenski not practice today. Sounds like it's David Jiricek who gets the recall. We shall see. On a five-game roadie, extra players would be helpful.
Werenski back on the ice. #CBJ
