Harris was a healthy scratch for the Canadiens' last game but will draw back into the lineup Tuesday as they host Buffalo. The 22-year-old defender has a goal and five points through 17 games played this season while averaging close to 20 minutes (19:39) TOI.
Merzlikins left the Blue Jackets previous game halfway through due to an undisclosed injury and will not dress for their contest Thursday vs. Montreal. The 28-year-old was having a rough start to the season, posting a 2-5-0 record with a 4.74 GAA and .864 SV%.

Tarasov got the call-up after it was announced Wednesday that Elvis Merzlikin would be day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. Tarasov was previously up with the Blue Jackets and struggled with a 1-3-0 record along with his 3.57 GAA and .893 SV%.
This is a huge blow for the Blue Jackets, who also lost Nick Blankenburg long-term last week. Jake Bean replaced Werenski on the top power-play after he left the game and figures to be a key figure on their blueline moving forward. Werenski should make a full recovery and be back in time for next year's training camp.
Johnson was a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Patrik Laine (ankle) in the lineup on Tuesday. Johnson has tallied three goals and three assists (six points) in 11 games this season.
Gudbranson missed the Blue Jackets' previous game due to an upper-body injury but will return Tuesday. The 12-year-veteran has three assists and is a -6 plus/minus rating through 13 games while averaging 17:24 ATOI.
Kuraly, suffered an upper-body injury on November 5 vs. Colorado leaving early after playing 8:09 TOI in the loss. In 12 games this season, the 29-year-old has two goals and four points with a -8 plus/minus rating and 14 SOG. He returns to the Blue Jackets' lineup Tuesday.
Marzlinkins last started November 4th when he lost his fourth straight start allowing five goals on 35 shots (.857 SV%) to the Colorado Avalanche. He has had an atrocious season, posting a 2-5-0 record with a 4.82 GAA and .863 SV%. He faces off against the Philadelphia Flyers who have lost three straight games only scoring four goals across the three loses.
Christiansen has four assists in 11 games prior to his promotion to Columbus from Cleveland (AHL). This will be his first all up of the 2022-23 season, but the 23-year-old previously played in the NHL with Columbus in 2021-22, where he played in eight games and scored one goal.

Bjork earned the call-up to Columbus after putting up two goals and five points in Clevelands' (AHL) first 11 games to start the season. He has yet to make his NHL debut so if he does see time with Columbus it will be his first taste of NHL action.
Werenski left Thursday's game with an upper-body injury, and head coach Brad Larsen said that "it's not going to be good at all." This is obviously a massive blow for the Blue Jackets, who are already without Adam Boqvist on the blueline and Jakub Voracek up front.
Kuraly is day-to-day after only playing 8:09 TOI in Columbus' last game in Finland. In 12 games in 2022-23 he has two goals and four points while being a -8 plus/minus rating.
Jenner will play after he was a game-time decision Friday due to illness as the Blue Jackets take on Colorado in the first of two Finland games. In ten games so far in 2022-23, Jenner has a goal and four points while earning a -3 plus/minus rating.
Jenner missed Thursday's practice due to illness but is expected to play vs. the Avalanche on Friday. Jenner, who has one goal and three assists in 10 games, is expected to centre the top line with Johnny Gaudreau and Patrik Laine.
