Roslovic suffered a fractured ankle during Sunday's loss to the Rangers and will be sidelined for 4-6 weeks. The 26-year-old winger has been placed on injured reserve.
Roslovic has gotten off to a solid start with two goals and eight points through 13 games this season, so this is somewhat of a significant loss for the Blue Jackets. With Roslovic facing a long-term absence, Mathieu Olivier and Emil Bemstrom will both be in contention for expanded roles for the foreseeable future.

Blue Jackets' Jack Roslovic: Three-point performance Thursday
Rotowire
Roslovic scored an even-strength goal and added two power-play assists in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canadiens.
Despite his impressive efforts in helping the Blue Jackets build a 3-1 lead midway through the second period, Roslovic arguably ended up being the goat on the night as it was his inadvertent screen of Elvis Merzlikins that allowed Cole Caufield to pot the OT winner. Roslovic is getting a chance to prove he can be a top-six forward for Columbus, and the 26-year-old has a four-game point streak going in which he's racked up two goals and six points, but he'll need to reduce the defensive lapses in crucial moments to hang on to his spot.

Blue Jackets' Jack Roslovic: First goal is OT winner
Rotowire
Roslovic scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's 5-4 overtime victory over the Wild.
He also added eight shots, a hit and a blocked shot to his ledger. The 26-year-old was nearly the goat on the night, committing a terrible turnover in the neutral zone that led to a Minnesota scoring chance less than a minute earlier, but after Columbus survived that flurry, Roslovic took the puck the other way, split the defense and beat Filip Gustavsson under his blocker arm. Roslovic moved up into the top six Saturday and even saw a bit of second-unit power-play time with Patrik Laine (upper body) unavailable, but he's tough to rely on as a fantasy asset given his erratic play and inconsistent role.

Blue Jackets' Jack Roslovic: Earns first point of new campaign
Rotowire
Roslovic skated to a plus-2 rating with an assist in Friday's 3-1 win over the Flames.
Roslovic is back on the horse after an uninspiring start to the new campaign. Prior to this contest, a pair of blocked shots held up as Roslovic's only meaningful contribution between two games that sandwiched his dreaded "did not play - coach's decision" designation last Saturday. Drafted 25th overall in 2015, Roslovic managed a career-high 33 assists among 44 total points last season, but he has an uphill battle this time around as a bottom-six forward. Additionally, he has been adjusting to a new coach in Pascal Vincent.

Blue Jackets' Jack Roslovic: Healthy scratch Saturday
Rotowire
Roslovic was a healthy scratch for Saturday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.
After a lackluster showing in the Blue Jackets' opener that saw Roslovic manage just one shot on goal and a minus-1 rating, the 26-year-old found himself in the press box. New coach Pascal Vincent is still trying to figure out what his best roster looks like, so Roslovic could continue to yo-yo in and out of the lineup, but with a number of younger forwards pushing for playing time -- a group headlined by Adam Fantilli, the third overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft -- Roslovic could have trouble maintaining a regular role.

Blue Jackets' Jack Roslovic: Two helpers Friday
Rotowire
Roslovic notched two assists, one on the power play, in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Islanders.
With Patrik Laine (triceps) potentially done for the season, Roslovic has moved back into a top-six role for the Blue Jackets and recorded back-to-back multi-point performances. The 26-year-old has been wildly inconsistent through his three seasons with Columbus, but he might have some fantasy value over the coming weeks. Through 68 games on the season, Roslovic has nine goals and 40 points.

Blue Jackets' Jack Roslovic: Four points against Oilers
Rotowire
Roslovic scored two goals, including the game-winner, and added two assists in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Oilers.
No one will ever mistake Roslovic for Connor McDavid, but he managed to match the Edmonton superstar's production for one afternoon, and his two third-period tallies made the difference in the contest. Roslovic's last multi-point performance came Jan. 14, though, and the 26-year-old has only six goals and 34 points through 56 games. He's back in a top six role for now, but Roslovic will need to show some consistency if he wants to hang onto it.

Rotowire
Roslovic provided an assist in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Kraken.
Roslovic forced a turnover and set up Kent Johnson on the Blue Jackets' lone tally of the game. The assist ended a three-game point drought for Roslovic, who had earned points in six of his previous seven outings before the slump.

Roslovic recorded two assists in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings.
Skating on Columbus' top line between Johnny Gaudreau and Patrik Laine, Roslovic helped set up the latter for two of his three goals on the night. The 25-year-old hasn't scored a goal himself in 15 games and has a modest three tallies and 22 points through 39 contests on the season, but Roslovic will have some intriguing fantasy upside as long as he can hang onto that assignment.
