Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: Blue Jackets LW Kristian Huselius was scratched from Thursday's game against the Thrashers because of an upper-body injury. He has missed the last two games and was placed on injured reserve retroactive to Nov. 3.	Analysis: Huselius has just one goal and no assists in his last five games. Perhaps the upper-body injury has been the culprit for his slump after a good start to the season. Huselius is more of a 20-goal than 30-goal threat, but he can definitely put up points in bunches. Consider him a No. 5 or No. 6 Fantasy forward when healthy.

Analysis: Huselius has just one goal and no assists in his last five games. Perhaps the upper-body injury has been the culprit for his slump after a good start to the season.

Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: The Columbus Dispatch reports that Blue Jackets LW Kristian Huselius will not play Wednesday. He is dealing with an upper-body injury.	Analysis: Huselius has just one point in his last five games and isn't doing anything to shake off his reputation as a streaky guy. He remains worth using in deeper leagues when healthy, so follow his progress the rest of this week.

Huselius lights lamp twice in loss	Updated 10/23/2009
Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: Blue Jackets LW Kristian Huselius scored twice Thursday in a loss to the Oilers.	Analysis: Huselius is off to a nice start this season with eight points in eight games and maybe the inconsistent Swede has a chance to get back to his 70-point potential. Start him in most leagues as a low-end Fantasy forward.

Huselius nets game winner Tuesday	Updated 10/14/2009
Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: Blue Jackets LW Kristian Huselius scored a the game-winning goal during Tuesday's 2-1 victory against the Flames. Huselius snapped a low shot from the right side of the goal area at 17:36 of the second for his second. "We didn't have our best period in the first but in the second I thought we played our best period so far this season," Huselius said. "We forechecked hard, we capitalized on our chance on the power play and just kept going at them. That set up the win."	Analysis: Huselius has two goals and three assists during a four-game point streak. He is off to a nice start in 2009-10 and continues to look like Columbus' second-best offensive option behind Rick Nash. Huselius can definitely be a streaky player, but he still passes as a viable No. 5 or No. 6 Fantasy forward.

Huselius starts scoring surge Monday	Updated 10/6/2009
Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: Kristian Huselius, Rostislav Klesla and Nikita Filatov scored over a 3:44 span early in the second period to chase star Vancouver goaltender Roberto Luongo and lead the Columbus Blue Jackets to a 5-3 victory against the Canucks on Monday night. Huselius broke a tie 2:07 into the second period, and Klesla and Filatov broke the game open and ended Luongo's night early with goals 22 seconds apart. Huselius used Nash as a decoy off the rush and blew a wrist shot past Luongo's glove, Klesla scored on a wrist shot through traffic at 5:29, and Filatov finished a 3-on-2 with a shot through Luongo's legs on the next shift.	Analysis: Huselius added an assist and finished at minus-1 on Monday. The veteran forward continues to skate on a line with Rick Nash and Derick Brassard. We expected his point production to drop a little in 2008-09 after he left Calgary for Columbus. While it did, Huselius still threatened as a 60-point player. He will have his peaks and valleys, but Huselius is still a nice No. 5 or No. 6 Fantasy forward.

Huselius active, fails to get point	Updated 10/3/2009
Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: Columbus LW Kristian Huselius was able to play in the team's season opener against the Wild on Sunday but was unable to record a point. He was listed as probable for the game with the flu.	Analysis: Huselius goes through his ups and downs year in and year out and produces enough to be considered a No. 5 Fantasy option when healthy. His numbers have slipped the past two seasons and might go down again in 2009-10.

Huselius feeling much better Tuesday	Updated 9/29/2009
Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: The Columbus Dispatch reports that Blue Jackets LW Kristian Huselius (flu) felt well enough to practice on Tuesday and should be ready for opening night.	Analysis: Huselius can be a frustrating Fantasy option with his ups and downs, but he has plenty of value as a low-end starter in deeper formats.

Commodore, Huselius have the flu	Updated 9/23/2009
Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: The Columbus Dispatch reports that Blue Jackets LW Kristian Huselius and D Mike Commodore both missed practice Wednesday with the flu. Commodore is also dealing with a groin problem.	Analysis: Commodore is capable of scoring in the mid-20s, which makes him just a low-end Fantasy forward in deeper formats that reward PIM. Huselius was almost a point-per-game guy a few seasons ago in Calgary, but his numbers have slipped over the past two seasons. He remains more of a bench option in regular Fantasy leagues.

Huselius plays in Game One	Updated 4/17/2009
Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: Columbus LW Kristian Huseliues was able to play in Game One of the Western Conference playoffs as expected. He missed four games to end the season due to a concussion. He failed to record a point in the game.	Analysis: Huselius tallied 56 points in the regular season with 21 goals and 35 assists. Looking ahead to Draft Day 2009, Huselius should continue to be viewed as a No. 5 option.

Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: Columbus LW Kristian Huselius missed his fourth game Saturday in the season final against the Wild with concussion-like symptoms. He is however expected to play in the team's first game of the Western Conference playoffs.	Analysis: The Blue Jackets had no reason to bring Huselius back early and it will be interesting to see if he is active to start the Western Conference playoffs. Looking ahead to Draft Day 2009, he should be considered a No. 5 Fantasy forward.

Huselius sits out a third game	Updated 4/11/2009
Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: Columbus LW Kristian Huselius missed his third game Friday against the Blues with concussion-like symptoms. He remains questionable for Saturday's season finale against the Wild.	Analysis: The Blue Jackets are headed for the playoffs, so their objective is to make sure Huselius is healthy. Concussion-like injuries are nothing to mess around with, so it will be interesting to see if Huselius can take the ice Saturday. While he hasn't been as solid offensively since leaving Calgary in the offseason, Huselius has done well playing on the top line with Rick Nash. He will be a No. 5 Fantasy forward on Draft Day 2009.

Huselius doesn't dress Wednesday	Updated 4/9/2009
Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: Blue Jackets LW Kristian Huselius missed his second game Wednesday against the Blackhawks with concussion-like symptoms and remains questionable for Friday against the Blues.	Analysis: It's a real shame Huselius might miss the final week of the season since he is just four points shy of 60 for a third straight season and five assists shy of 40 for a third straight campaign. While he hasn't been as solid offensively since leaving Calgary in the offseason, Huselius has done well playing on the top line with Rick Nash. He is usually a No. 5 Fantasy forward when healthy.

Huselius out with head injury	Updated 4/5/2009
Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: The Blue Jackets played without second-leading scorer Kristian Huselius on Sunday against the Blackhawks. The forward suffered a head injury off the opening faceoff Saturday in Nashville. Huselius remains questionable for Wednesday's rematch with the Blackhawks.	Analysis: It's a real shame Huselius might miss the final week of the season since he is just four points shy of 60 for a third straight season and five assists shy of 40 for a third straight campaign. While he hasn't been as solid offensively since leaving Calgary in the offseason, Huselius has done well playing on the top line with Rick Nash. He is usually a No. 5 Fantasy forward when healthy, but remains an injury-risk start Week 27 (April 6-12).

Huselius, Nash get four assists each	Updated 3/27/2009
Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: Blue Jackets LW Kristian Huselius and C Rick Nash both assisted four times in Thursday's win over the Flames.	Analysis: Huselius reached the 50-point mark for a third straight season on Thursday, and is playing a little better in March than he did in February. He remains a No. 5 or 6 option only. Nash is now only two points behind his career high of 69 points and should be starting in all Fantasy formats the rest of the way.

Huselius has four-assist game	Updated 3/26/2009
Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: Columbus LW Kristian Huselius has four assists in Thursday's 5-0 win against the Flames. The four-point performance increased his points total on the season to 54 with 20 goals and 34 assists.	Analysis: Four points is the most that Huselius has accumulated in one game the entire season. Rick Nash accomplished the same feat on Thursday, tallying four assists on the same goals that Huselius assisted on. This one performance is clearly Huselius overachieving as he should be thought of as a No. 5 or 6 option only.

Huselius dekes goalie for 20th	Updated 3/14/2009
Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: Blue Jackets LW Kristian Huselius scored a goal and finished at plus-1 during Friday's game against the Blackhawks. Huselius made it 2-0 with his 20th goal midway through the period. He slipped in alone on right wing after taking a pass from Jakub Voracek, deked Cristobal Huet to the ice and scored on a backhand shot. Huselius has two goals and three assists in his last six games.	Analysis: Huselius now has 20 or more goals in four straight seasons and six times in his seven-year career. His assist totals have dipped a bit since leaving Calgary, but we expected that as soon as he left a line with Jarome Iginla. Still, Huselius is worth a look as a No. 5 or No. 6 Fantasy forward.

Huselius chips in two assists	Updated 3/6/2009
Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: Blue Jackets LW Kristian Huselius tallied a pair of assists and finished at even in 22:24 of ice time Thursday against the Predators. He hasn't scored in five games, but does have three assists in that span.	Analysis: Huselius has just 18 goals in 61 games and his scoring has been a little erratic this season. That's why Columbus traded for Antoine Vermette in hopes he can be a constant figure between Huselius and Rick Nash. We figured Huselius wouldn't be as lethal of a scorer after he left Calgary and we were right. But he still passes as a No. 4 or No. 5 Fantasy forward.

Huselius scores, assists in win	Updated 2/20/2009
Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: Blue Jackets LW Kristian Huselius scored and assisted in Thursday's shootout win over the Maple Leafs.	Analysis: Huselius is a frustrating Fantasy player, because he pops up now and again with multi-point games like this, but will then disappear for a stretch. Huselius has solid offensive skills, but is still more of a No. 4 or No. 5 Fantasy forward until he can become more of a consistent contributor.

Huselius has two goals, assist	Updated 2/14/2009
Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: Columbus defeated the Hurricanes 5-1 on Saturday and Blue Jackets LW Kristian Huselius did the most damage. Huselius scored twice in the game and added an assist for a total of three points. He picked up his first goal in the 2nd period off a power play and added his 16th of the season on the empty net to give the game its final margin. He assisted R.J. Umberger on a power play in the 3rd period.	Analysis: The Blue Jackets left winger now has 40 points on the season after Saturday's nice game. He has been playing on the left side on a line with Nash, who picked up three assists in the game, over the last few weeks and the duo really seems to be clicking with Manny Malhotra as their center. Huselius has solid offensive skills, but is still more of a No. 4 or No. 5 Fantasy forward.

Analysis: Huselius had trouble earlier in the season adapting to his new surroundings in Columbus and he also wasn't very comfortable on the right side of the ice. He has been playing on the left side on a line with Nash over the last few weeks and the duo really seems to be clicking with Manny Malhotra as their center. Huselius has solid offensive skills, but is still more of a No. 4 or No. 5 Fantasy forward.

He has missed some time due to injury, but luckily it has been nothing serious. Huselius could be in for a strong second half, but still remains more of a No. 4 or No. 5 Fantasy forward.

Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: The Columbus Dispatch reports that Blue Jackets LW Kristian Huselius missed Tuesday's game at Calgary after he suffered a lacerated left wrist during Tuesday's 4-3 loss in Edmonton. Huselius was cut by linemate Rick Nash as they were preparing to go on the ice for a third-period shift. "I was really lucky," Huselius said.	Analysis: This injury comes at a horrible time for Huselius, who has a goal and six assists over his last four contests after putting up just seven points in 14 December games. Huselius remains more of a No. 5 or No. 6 Fantasy forward when healthy. He is only expected to miss a week of action and could return Tuesday against Detroit. Still, he could be a low-risk start Week 17 (Jan. 26-Feb. 1).

Huselius on modest three-game streak	Updated 1/19/2009
Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: Kristian Huselius added two assists for Columbus during a 6-5 shootout win Sunday against the Canucks. He has one goal and five assists during a three-game point streak. Huselius has three goals and six assists in his last seven games.	Analysis: Huselius is off to a great start in January and is two points shy of having his first 10-point month with the Blue Jackets. As we expected, his offensive contributions have been average since leaving Calgary. Huselius remains more of a No. 5 or No. 6 Fantasy forward.

Huselius has three-point night	Updated 1/14/2009
Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: Blue Jackets LW Kristian Huselius had a goal and two assists and the Columbus Blue Jackets scored three times in the final period to beat the Colorado Avalanche 4-3 on Tuesday for their third consecutive victory.	Analysis: Huselius had just six points in his previoius 15 games before Tuesday. It's good to see the concussion he recently endured didn't affect his scoring ability, although he needs a few more games like this if he's going to have any Fantasy value outside of the deepest of leagues.

Huselius returns to action Saturday	Updated 1/11/2009
Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: Blue Jackets LW Kristian Huselius returned to action Saturday after missing a few days with a concussion. He produced three shots in 20:39 during a win over the Wild.	Analysis: Huselius has done OK in his first season with Columbus, but still lacks that explosion he had in Calgary playing alongside Jarome Iginla. Continue to view Huselius as a No. 5 or No. 6 Fantasy forward.

He has done well in his first season with Columbus, but still lacks that explosion he had in Calgary playing alongside Jarome Iginla. Continue to view Huselius as a No. 5 or No. 6 Fantasy forward when healthy.

Huselius has first multi-goal game	Updated 1/3/2009
Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: Kristian Huselius scored twice and Steve Mason won his fourth straight despite having his shutout streak halted at three games and the Columbus Blue Jackets beat the Colorado Avalanche 6-1 on Friday. Huselius had his first multi-goal game of the season, scoring both times on pinpoint passes from Rick Nash. He tied the game at 1 with a wrist shot past Peter Budaj 2:28 into the second period, and scored again 16:10 into the frame.	Analysis: After being held pointless for five games in mid-December, Huselius has three goals and three assists over his past eight games. Huselius has done an admirable job with the Blue Jackets in 2008-09, but doesn't have a month this season with 10 or more points and is missing the explosiveness he had with Jarome Iginla in Calgary. We figured Huselius would lose some Fantasy appeal this season and he has. Continue to view him as a No. 5 or No. 6 Fantasy forward.

Huselius notches an assist	Updated 12/17/2008
Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: LW Kristian Huselius had an assist in the Blue Jackets' 2-1 overtime win against the Sharks. Huselius had gone five straight games without a goal or assist prior.	Analysis: Huselius has been underwhelming as of late, struggling to earn points for his owners. Huselius is no better than a No. 4 Fantasy forward until he can put points up with more frequency.

Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: Kristian Huselius scored off Rick Nash's blue-collar assist with 4:44 left and Columbus beat the Vancouver Canucks 3-2 on Monday night, giving the Blue Jackets their first win this season after allowing the first goal. Nash had two defenders draped on him as he carried the puck out of the corner and over the left dot before feeding Huselius, who was all alone at the right side of the crease for an easy jam shot for his ninth of the year. Huselius said he was almost a bystander. "It was a great pass, a great effort," said Huselius, who also had an assist and plus-1 rating. "Rick caught two guys playing him and made a great pass to me and I just had to one-time it."	Analysis: Huselius has four goals and four assists in his last eight games. He has managed 18 points in his first 23 games with the Blue Jackets and is managing to survive outside of Calgary. He is playing most nights with Nash and that's almost as good as playing with Jarome Iginla. Still, Huselius is more of a No. 4 Fantasy forward.

Huselius scores to reach dozen points	Updated 11/16/2008
Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: Blue Jackets LW Kristian Huselius scored his sixth goal of the season in Saturday's loss to the Wild. He now has six goals and six assists.	Analysis: Huselius is off to a decent start this season and remains a No. 3 Fantasy forward in all formats.

Huselius has ugly return to ice	Updated 11/12/2008
Kristian Huselius, LW CLB

He didn't record a point in 17:07 of ice time and finished at minus-2. He also spent four minutes in the penalty box for high-sticking.	Analysis: It would have been nice to see Huselius return to action with a point instead of a minus-2 rating, but the fact he is back on the ice is good news in itself. Huselius has three points (two goals) in five November games and 10 overall in his first 15 games with the Blue Jackets. He is managing to survive outside of Calgary and remains a decent No. 3 Fantasy forward when healthy.

Analysis: Huselius started his Columbus career with three goals and four assists in six games before going without a point in four games. He is once again starting to heat up and that's good news for Fantasy owners.

Columbus switches up scoring lines	Updated 11/2/2008
Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: The Sports Xchange reports the Blue Jackets made massive line changes again Saturday against the Blackhawks, putting franchise left winger Rick Nash on a line with center Jiri Novotny and winger Jason Chimera. Winger Kristian Huselius, who had played opposite Nash during the first 10 games, was put with rookies Derick Brassard and Jake Voracek.	Analysis: The only player to score a goal Saturday among the line switches was Huselius, who has been a great free-agent addition from Calgary. Huselius and Nash remain high-end Fantasy options despite the change. Novotny and Chimera are both low-end Fantasy options, while Brassard and Voracek are low-end options on top of being solid long-term keepers.

Analysis: Huselius came into Columbus wanting to avoid a move to the right side of the ice, but in his first five games, it doesn't appear as though his offensive game has suffered very much. Huselius is eyeing 60-plus points for a third straight season, but remains more of a No. 4 or No. 5 Fantasy forward for now.

Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: Blue Jackets LW Kristian Huselius had a goal and finished with a minus-1 plus/minus rating in 19 minutes of ice time at Dallas Friday. He attempted just the one shot on goal.	Analysis: Huselius career really took off when he went to Calgary and ended up playing with Jarome Iginla. He is playing with a gifted scorer in Rick Nash and an up-and-coming rookie like Derick Brassard, but they still don't compare to Huselius. Sixty points isn't out of the question, but look to Huselius as more of a No. 4 Fantasy forward to open the season.

Can Huselius keep streak alive?	Updated 10/2/2008
Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: The Sports Xchange reports Blue Jackets RW Kristian Huselius will get plenty of opportunity to continue his string of 60-point plus seasons. Huselius will play the opposite wing to Rick Nash on the No. 1 line, and he'll quarterback the No. 1 power play unit.	Analysis: Huselius career really took off when he went to Calgary and ended up playing with Jarome Iginla. He is playing with a gifted scorer in Nash and an up-and-coming rookie like Derick Brassard, but they still don't compare to Huselius.

Huselius to open as top winger	Updated 8/31/2008
Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: The Sports Xchange reports the Blue Jackets head into training camp expecting the top two lines to look as such: R.J. Umberger centering wingers Rick Nash and Kristian Huselius, and center Derick Brassard between Fredrik Modin and Raffi Torres.	Analysis: Columbus inked Huselius to a four-year deal in the offseason and it appears as though they will put their money to good use right away. The 29-year-old Huselius had 66 points, including 25 goals, in 81 games for the Calgary Flames last season. He had a career-high 77 points and 34 goals with the Flames the previous season. The move to Columbus could hurt Huselius, however, since he is not surrounded by players like Jarome Iginla and Daymond Langkow. Huselius' career didn't take off before joining Calgary in 2005-06. He was a good offensive player with the Panthers as his career began, but not a great one. Huselius should be considered a No. 3 or No. 4 Fantasy forward Draft Day, but there is plenty of room for disappointment.

Huselius bolts for Columbus	Updated 7/2/2008
Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: The Columbus Blue Jackets have signed Kristian Huselius to a four-year, $19-million contract. The 29-year-old Huselius had 66 points, including 25 goals, in 81 games for the Calgary Flames last season. He had a career-high 77 points and 34 goals with the Flames the previous season.	Analysis: The Blue Jackets have a plethora of left wingers, including Rick Nash, Fredrik Modin and Raffi Torres. However, Columbus wanted a top offensive forward this offseason and they got it in Huselius. But the move to Columbus could potentially hurt Huselius' Fantasy value. Let's not forget who he played with in Calgary -- Jarome Iginla and Daymond Langkow. The Blue Jackets don't nearly have as much offensive firepower. Huselius' career didn't take off before joining Calgary in 2005-06. He was a good offensive player with the Panthers as his career began, but not a great one. Huselius should be considered a No. 3 or No. 4 Fantasy forward Draft Day, but there is plenty of room for disappointment.

Huselius picks up goal in finale	Updated 4/6/2008
Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: Flames LW Kristian Huselius scored his 25th goal of the season during Saturday's regular-season finale against the Canucks. Huselius lit the lamp at 9:05 of the first period with a wrister. It was his first point in seven games.	Analysis: The free-agent-to-be was at his best early in the season playing on the top line with Jarome Iginla and Daymond Langkow. He put 39 points (17 goals) on the board in the first 40 games. However, he wasn't as fortunate when the calendar hit 2008. He posted just 27 points (eight goals) in his final 41 games. He still should land a nice pay day, but depending on where he lands will dictate his Draft Day 2008 status. Right now, we like him as a No. 3 Fantasy forward.

Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: Flames LW Kristian Huselius recorded a goal and an assist Monday in a 7-3 win over the Blues. He now has 61 points on the season, but the goal was his first in 21 games.	Analysis: Huselius had a massive 20 points in December, but hasn't done much since for his Fantasy owners with 22 in 29 games. The goals dried up back in January, and he should only be considered a No. 4 or No. 5 forward in most leagues at this point.

Kristian Huselius, LW CLB
News: Kristian Huselius' scoring slump has reached 19 games after Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. Huselius has been stuck at 21 goals since Jan. 18.	Analysis: Huselius has 10 assists in his last 16 games. His numbers have actually been pretty bad in 2008 since he isn't scoring a lot of goals. He is still playing for his next contract, but has been dropped to a No. 3 or No. 4 Fantasy forward while he struggles.

News: Huselius (sprained knee) took a short stroll on the ice in his sweats on Wednesday, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "They just asked me to feel the ice," he said.

News: The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that an MRI on Huselius' left knee revealed a Grade 3 sprain, the most severe type to his medial collateral ligament. He is expected to miss four to six weeks, meaning he'll probably miss all of the preseason and the first week of the regular season.

He is expected to miss Wednesday's game against Washington and is questionable for Saturday's game against St. Louis.
