As the 2025-26 season approaches its official start, the Columbus Blue Jackets will have quite a bit to look forward to this coming season. The goal on the ice is clear: they want to improve last season and make a run for the play -offs. During that long journey of 82 game there will be quite a few milestones of players on the way.
Games played milestones
There are several players who will play substantial games that play milestones during the season. First, first, Christian Jaros And Denton Mateychuk both comes after the 100 games played. Jaros only needs six games at the NHL level to reach the milestone, while Mateychuk needs 55, which is certainly feasible if he stays healthy. Kent Johnson is only two games away from the 200 game Mark, and Yegor Chinakhov is 25 away from the same milestone.
On the blue line, three experienced players strive for substantial milestones in this category. Zach Werenski is 33 games away from his 600th career performance, while the player set up one place for him in 2015, Ivan Provorov, is four games away from 700. Damon Severson is currently only 16 away from the 800 Mark.
However, the most striking milestone will be for one Newcomer in Columbus. Charlie Coyle is only 50 games removed from hitting the enormously impressive 1,000 career games that Mijlpaal played.
Total number of points milestones
There are currently six players on the Blue Jackets who are about to include their 100th career point. Dante Fabbro is on two points away from the milestone, and Zach Aston Reese needs three points to achieve this. The other four are a little further away, because ISAC Lundstrom is 16 points away from the goal. Dmitri Voronkov and Adam Fantilli both need 19. Last but not least, Chinakhov is currently 29 points away from the milestone, which means that he should match his career high in points to achieve this during the 2025-26 season.
The aforementioned Provorov is 18 points away from 300 before his career. In the meantime, Werenski is 16 points away from 400 points. Team captain Boone Jenner is in line with the same milestone as WERENSKI, but needs a single point more than his teammate to achieve that goal. Coyle is currently at 485 career points and only needs 15 to reach 500. Finally, Sean Monahan comes with 600 career points and five more needs to reach the milestone.
Other statistics
What playing playing, there are quite a few players on to touch assist milestones this coming season. Damon Severerson is currently seven assists removed from 250. In the meantime, Werenski and Coyle close to the 300 marking, with Werenski who need 29 more assists, and Coyle requires only four helpers.
Miles Wood comes the season in a very unique position, because he needs nine goals and nine assists to reach 100 of each statistics. If he is able to achieve it at that exact pace, he will reach 200 points with an even distribution between goals and assists.
The closest to every milestone that comes in the season is undoubtedly Jenner. On the way to the 2025-26 season, he is currently on 199 career NHL goals and he only needs one for Eclipse 200.
Kirill Marchenko has a bit of a gap to overcome to achieve 100 goals; However, it is certainly within reach. He currently needs 25 to reach that milestone, which is less than the 31 he recorded in 2024-25, but more than he scored in a different season in the NHL.
