Mikhail Grigorenko News

Grigorenko has played in seven straight games, registering two assists, but he will be replaced by Kole Sherwood in the lineup on Monday.

Grigorenko, who recently cleared waivers, will play for the first time since February 23rd. Grigorenko will replace Emil Bemstrom, who was placed on IR with a lower-body injury. In his first 18 games with the Blue Jackets, Grigorenko has two goals and five assists.

Grigorenko will be a healthy scratch for the third time in nine games. Emil Bemstrom will replace him in the Blue Jackets’ bottom-6.

Grigorenko sat as a healthy scratch on Monday but will replace Steffan Matteau in the lineup on Thursday. Grigorenko has five points (2G / 3A) in his first 15 games with Columbus.

Grigorenko has two goals and three assists (five points) in 15 games this season but will come out of the lineup Monday in Carolina. With Grirgorenko getting scratched, Stefan Mateau will make his season debut.

Grigorenko was a healthy scratch on Sunday but will replace Liam Foudy in the lineup on Monday. In his return to the NHL, Grigorenko has scored two goals with three assists (five points) in 12 games.

Grigorenko has just one goal and one assist in his last 11 games and he will be a healthy scratch tonight vs. Edmonton. With Grigorenko out, Joe Colborne will re-enter the lineup.

After spending the first three years of his NHL career in Buffao, Grigorenko moved to Colorado last season, where he collected six goals and 21 assists (27 points) in 74 games. The former 12th overall pick has yet to max out his potential, scoring just 12 goals with 29 assists (41 points) in his first 142 career NHL games.

After serving as a healthy scratch for the last three games, Grigorenko will return to the lineup tonight vs. his former team. Grigorenko has just two goals and 10 assists (12 points) in 41 games this season and likely won’t play a major role in Wednesday’s game.

Grigorenko played just 7:48 on Tuesday and is a minus-3 with one goal in his last eight contests. He will be replaced by Chris Wagner.

Grigorenko has no points in his last games and will come out of the lineup in favour of Andreas Martinsen on Monday. Grigorenko had been play with Alex Tanguay and Jarome Iginla, which seems like the perfect fit for him, but Patrick Roy is clearly searching for more out of the young centre.

Grigorenko has been relegated to mostly fourth line duty this season, averaging just 8:56 TOI in 13 games this season. The former 12th overall pick has just three assists and eight shots on goal this season.

Grigorenko was acquired from the Sabres in the Ryan O’Reilly trade this summer, but he will be a healthy scratch in his first game with his new team. The 21-year-old has a tonne of potential but has had a difficult time getting his NHL career off of the ground.

Grigorenko had one shot and a minus-1 rating in 13:42 TOI last night in Ottawa. He obviously will not be in the lineup tonight after being sent down, so expect Zac Dalpe to be back in.

Grigorenko was recalled on Tuesday, sent down on Wednesday and then recalled again on Thursday. Grigorenko did not play on Tuesday because of a knee injury, but he is expected to play Friday in Ottawa.

Grigorenko was recalled yesterday, but he is reportedly dealing with a knee injury, so he did not play yesterday and has been assigned to Rochester.
