Scott Harrington News

As expected, Harrington got the first crack at replacing Zach Weresnki in the lineup on Tuesday but Andrew Pekke will replace him and make his NHL debut on Thursday.

Harrington has been a healthy scratch for the last seven games but will be back in the lineup because Zach Werenski is out for at least four weeks with a shoulder injury. The Blue Jackets brought up one of their best D prospects on Monday, so Harrington's grip on the No.6 defenseman role isn't strong.

Harrington replaced Ryan Murray (lower-body) last Friday but the two will switch places again on Tuesday. Harrington was a regular on Columbus' blueline last year but has been pushed out by Vladislav Gavrikov in 2019-20.

Harrington was a healthy scratch in Montreal but will replace Ryan Murray (lower-body) in the lineup vs. St. Louis. Harrington has been in and out of the lineup all season long, totalling one assist, six shots and four PIMS in six games.

Harrington has been scratched since the season opener but will replace Markus Nutivaara (lower-body) in the lineup vs. Carolina. The 26-year-old blueliner has just 26 points (5G / 21A) in 153 career NHL games.

Harrington has not played over 10 minutes in three of his last four games and will be replaced by Dean Kukan tonight vs. the Stars.

Harrington left the Blue Jackets' preseason game on September 28 against the Penguins and did not return. He had two goals and three assists in 32 games for Columbus last season.

Harrington was a healthy scratch in the first four games of the season, but was a member of the blueline in Minnesota on Saturday. On Monday, the Blue Jackets recalled Markus Nutivaara from Cleveland and he will push Harrington back to the press box.

Harrington, 23, was acquired in a trade from the Maple Leafs this summer and was scratched in their season opener on Thursday. There’s no word what, if anything is ailing Harrington, but he heads to the AHL, where he had three points (1G / 2A) in 17 games last season.

Harrington, 23, was a second round pick of the Penguins in 2011, but was traded to the Maple Leafs as a part of the Phil Kessel trade and was moved to Columbus this offseason for Kerby Rychel. Last year, Harrington split his time between the AHL and NHL—he had one assist in 15 games with the Maple Leafs and three points (1G / 2A) in 17 games with the Marlies.
