|---|---|---|
| July 1, 2024 | Blankenburg signed a two-year contract with the Predators on Monday. The agreement is a two-way deal in 2024-25 and becomes one-way in 2025-26. - Blankenburg had a goal in 12 contests with Columbus in 2023-24. He also provided three goals and 13 points in 24 regular-season outings with AHL Cleveland. Blankenburg will probably start the campaign in the minors, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him get an opportunity with Nashville as an injury replacement during the season. | None |
| April 16, 2024 | Blankenburg was reassigned to AHL Cleveland on Tuesday. - Blankenburg played versus the Hurricanes on Tuesday in the Blue Jackets' season finale. He'll now bolster the Monsters' defense corps. Blankenburg had one goal and no assists over 12 NHL appearances this season. | None |
| April 5, 2024 | Blankenburg was called up from AHL Cleveland on Friday. - Blankenburg has three goals and 13 points in 21 contests with Cleveland this season. He's also provided five goals and 17 points in 49 career NHL games. Blankenburg might spend the rest of the campaign with the Blue Jackets because Jake Bean is done for the season after suffering a broken hand during Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Islanders. | None |
| Jan. 31, 2024 | Blankenburg was reassigned to AHL Cleveland on Wednesday. - Blankenburg has no points, three shots, 11 hits and 12 blocks in six contests with Columbus this season. The Blue Jackets don't play again until Feb. 10, so the 25-year-old defenseman may be recalled before their next game. | None |
| Jan. 27, 2024 | Blankenburg was recalled from AHL Cleveland on Saturday, per the NHL media site. - Blankenburg had an assist in his lone game with the Monsters, after he was sent down Sunday. Blankenburg had 11 hits and 12 blocked shots in six games at the NHL level this season. He will replace Adam Boqvist (upper body) on the roster. | None |
| Jan. 21, 2024 | Blankenburg (upper body) was activated from injured reserve and loaned to AHL Cleveland on Sunday. - Blankenburg will get some playing time in the minors after missing the past 12 games. He has been credited with three shots on goal, 12 blocked shots and 11 hits in six NHL outings this season. In a corresponding move, David Jiricek was recalled from the AHL. | None |
| Dec. 23, 2023 | Blankenburg was placed on injured reserve Saturday, retroactive to Dec. 19. - The move was necessitated by the Blue Jackets activating Damon Severson (oblique) from injured reserve as they needed the roster spot. Blankenburg has yet to pick up a point in six NHL games this season, but he does have 11 hits and 12 blocked shots. | None |
| Dec. 21, 2023 | Blankenburg (upper body) won't play Thursday versus the Capitals, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports. - Blankenburg has played six games since his recall earlier in December. He's logged three shots on goal, 11 hits and 12 blocked shots while failing to record a point. His absence Thursday will allow rookie David Jiricek to rejoin the lineup. | None |
| Dec. 6, 2023 | Blankenburg was recalled by the Blue Jackets on Wednesday. - Columbus is dealing with multiple injuries on the back end, prompting Blankenburg's promotion. The 25-year-old defender has picked up 11 points through 18 AHL appearances this year. | None |
| Sept. 21, 2023 | Blankenburg (ankle) was on the ice for Thursday's practice at Blue Jackets camp, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports. - Blankenburg was considered week-to-week with an ankle injury at the end of last season. He also missed time with a broken ankle previously in the campaign. It'll be something to monitor with the 25-year-old blueliner, who could be left out of the Opening Night lineup after the Blue Jackets added Damon Severson and Ivan Provorov via trade in the offseason. | None |
| March 27, 2023 | Blankenburg is considered week-to-week after suffering an ankle injury, the team announced Monday. - Blankenburg has generated four goals and 10 assists in 36 games this season following a previous extended stint on the shelf due to a broken ankle. It's not immediately clear if this latest ailment is related or not. With Erik Gudbranson (upper body) also out of action for six weeks, the Jackets will need to call up a player from the minors, with Marcus Bjork being the most likely candidate. | None |
| March 24, 2023 | Blankenburg temporarily left Friday's game against the Islanders because of a lower-body injury, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports. - Blankenburg was initially not expected to return to the contest. It appears as though he will be available to play Saturday against Montreal. Blankenburg has 14 points, 47 blocks and 60 hits in 35 appearances this season. | None |
| March 17, 2023 | Blankenburg supplied a goal in Friday's 7-4 loss to Anaheim. - Blankenburg scored midway through the first period to tie the game at 1-1. It was his first goal and third point over his last four outings. Overall in 2022-23, Blankenburg has contributed four goals and 13 points in 32 contests. | None |
| Feb. 10, 2023 | Per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers, Blankenburg (upper body) will return to the lineup Friday versus Toronto, according to coach Brad Larsen. - Blankenburg has played only 15 games this season due to injuries. The defenseman has been fairly strong offensively, with three goals and four assists. He has 25 hits and blocked shots as well as 24 shots on goal this season. | None |
| Jan. 31, 2023 | Blankenburg (upper body) will be unavailable versus the Capitals on Tuesday, Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda reports. - Blankenburg has been plagued by injuries this season, playing in just 15 games so far this year. In limited action, the blueliner has notched three goals and four assists while averaging 18:20 of ice time. With Adam Boqvist (upper body) also on the shelf, Gavin Bayreuther and Marcus Bjork figure to see significant upticks in ice time. | None |
| Jan. 28, 2023 | Blankenburg (upper body) is not expected to be in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Kraken, per Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda. - Blankenburg is slated to be out for the second straight game -- he also missed Friday's game in Vancouver. With Adam Boqvist (upper body) also out, the newly recalled Jake Christiansen will enter the lineup in a third-pairing role, while Tim Berni and Gavin Bayreuther figure to also pick up some of the slack. The Blue Jackets play once more before the All-Star break -- Tuesday versus the Capitals. | None |
| Jan. 27, 2023 | Blankenburg is dealing with an upper-body injury and will miss Friday's game against Vancouver, according to Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch. - Blankenburg is regarded as being day-to-day beyond Friday's contest. He has three goals and seven points in 15 games in 2022-23. Gavin Bayreuther, who has spent Columbus' last seven games as a healthy scratch, is projected to draw back into the lineup. | None |
| Jan. 22, 2023 | Blankenburg notched two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's win over the Sharks. - Filling the secondary point role on Columbus' power play, the young defenseman whiffed on a one-timer from the blue line but fortunately had the puck trickle over to Patrik Laine, who found Johnny Gaudreau with a cross-ice pass for the Jackets' first goal of the game. Blankenburg's second helper was only a little more deliberate, as he disrupted a Sharks entry attempt behind his own net late in the third period and saw the puck wind up on Sean Kuraly's stick, who fired it the length of the ice for an empty-netter. Blankenburg has three goals and seven points through 13 NHL games this season in between injuries, and while Adam Boqvist is the team's top blueliner with the man advantage for now, his spot is far from secure. | None |
| Jan. 20, 2023 | Blankenburg scored a goal on five shots in Thursday' 5-2 loss to the Ducks. - Blankenburg beat Anthony Stolarz with a wrist shot from the circle, extending Columbus' lead to 3-0 at the end of the first period. It's Blankenburg's first goal since he returned from a 27-game stint on the IR with a broken ankle. The 24-year-old blueliner offers some long-term offensive upside, but it's hard to count on him to produce consistently while playing on Columbus' third pairing. He now has three goals and two assists in 12 games this season. | None |
| Jan. 12, 2023 | Blankenburg (lower body) exited Thursday's game versus the Hurricanes late in the third period, but head coach Brad Larsen believes the defenseman will be fine, Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda reports. - It looks like it's just an injury scare for Blankenburg, who played in his first game in two months after suffering a broken ankle in November. The Michigan native's status should be confirmed ahead of Saturday's game versus the Red Wings. | None |
| Dec. 31, 2022 | Blankenburg (broken ankle) has resumed skating, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports. - Blankenburg suffered the injury Nov. 10 and was expected to be out of action 6-8 weeks. It has already been seven-plus weeks since then, but there is still no timetable for his return. Blankenburg was playing on the top pairing at the time of his injury. He had two goals and three points in seven games before he was sidelined. | None |
| Nov. 11, 2022 | Blankenburg will be out of action for 6-8 weeks after fracturing his ankle Thursday. - Blackenburg had two goals and three points in seven games as the Blue Jackets lost their first defense pairing against the Flyers as Zach Werenski is likely out for the season with a separated shoulder and torn labrum. | None |
| Nov. 4, 2022 | Blankenburg (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Friday. - Blankenburg is with the Blue Jackets in Finland where they will play a pair of back-to-back games against Colorado starting Friday. He was injured Oct. 23 in a game against the Rangers. Blankenburg has a goal and an assist in four contests this season. | None |
| Oct. 29, 2022 | Blankenburg (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday. - Blankenburg's listed as day-to-day, and this move is retroactive to Oct. 23, when he was injured in a game against the Rangers. He has one goal, one assist, eight shots on net, six blocks and 10 hits in four appearances this season. | None |
| Oct. 28, 2022 | Blankenburg (upper body) isn't expected to play Friday against Boston, per Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch. - Blankenburg also missed Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Arizona. Adam Boqvist drew into the lineup Tuesday in place of Blankenburg, but Boqvist is out now too with a broken foot. Consequently, Gavin Bayreuther will make his season debut on the third pairing with Erik Gudbranson. | None |
| Oct. 25, 2022 | Blankenburg (upper body) is considered day-to-day but won't be available to face Arizona on Thursday, Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda reports. - Blankenburg was off to a decent start to the year, having notched one goal on eight shots, one assist and 10 hits in his first four contests. Once healthy, Blankenburg should be a near-lock to retake his place on the blue line. Until then, Adam Boqvist will rejoin the lineup after having been a healthy scratch in the previous four contests. | None |
| Oct. 24, 2022 | Blakenburg left Sunday's game against the Rangers with an upper-body injury. - Blakenburg logged 7:59 of ice time prior to his exit. There was no update on his status after the contest, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports. The 24-year-old defenseman was hurt in a collision with Rangers forward Kaapo Kakko. It's unclear at this time if he will be available to play Tuesday against Arizona. | None |
| Oct. 20, 2022 | Blankenburg scored the go-ahead goal Thursday as the Blue Jackets completed a third-period rally to down the Predators, 5-3. - Blankenburg, who entered Thursday with one goal in eight NHL games, benefited from the Predators twice failing to clear the puck out of their zone. The pinching 24-year-old defenseman received a cross-ice pass from Jakub Voracek and scored the eventual game-winner off a rising shot with 1:23 to go. The rookie also earned an assist on Johnny Gaudreau's goal that sparked the rally. It was Blankenburg's second career two-point game. | None |
| Sept. 22, 2022 | Blankenburg (knee) is slated to participate with Group 3 at the Blue Jackets' training camp, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports. - Blankenburg suffered a knee injury at the World Championship in May, but he's recovered from it during the offseason. The 24-year-old is on the roster fringe for the Blue Jackets and will likely need to show more than Ben Harpur to earn a roster spot. | None |
| July 15, 2022 | Blankenburg (knee) signed a two-year, $1.65 million contract with Columbus on Friday. - Blankenburg scored three points in seven games with the Blue Jackets last season after finishing a four-year career with the University of Michigan. The 24-year-old blueliner scored 29 points in 38 games there as a senior. He was injured while playing with Team USA at the World Championship but he's expected to compete for a bottom-four role during training camp. | None |
| May 24, 2022 | Blankenburg (knee) was injured while playing for Team USA at the World Championship, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports. - Blankenburg was able to shake off an upper-body injury prior to joining the national team, but his new knee injury will end his run at the tournament. Hedger adds the 24-year-old defenseman is expected to recovery fully by the time the Blue Jackets open training camp in September. | None |
| May 5, 2022 | Blankenburg (upper body) was named to the United States roster for the World Championships on Thursday, Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda reports. - Blankenburg missed the final two games of the NHL season due to his upper-body injury but appears no worse for the wear. Looking ahead to next season, the youngster should be in contention for a spot on the Opening Night roster and could secure his place as a full-time NHL player next year. | None |
| April 28, 2022 | Blankenburg suffered an upper-body injury against Tampa Bay on Tuesday and will miss the team's final two games of the season, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports. - Blankenburg logged seven games for the Jackets following the conclusion of his collegiate season with the University of Michigan. In those first NHL contests, the 23-year-old blueliner notched one goal on 13 shots, two assists and 19 hits while averaging 17:34 of ice time. Assuming the club can re-sign Blankenburg during the offseason, he should be in contention for a spot on the Opening Night roster next year. | None |
| April 14, 2022 | Blankenburg picked up an assist in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Canadiens. - Playing in his first NHL game after signing a one-year, entry-level deal Friday, Blankenburg helped set up a Cole Sillinger goal in the third period and generally looked good on Columbus' second pairing alongside Vladislav Gavrikov, blocking five shots in addition to his assist. The 23-year-old defenseman has some offensive upside, scoring 29 points through 38 games this season as a senior at Michigan, but given his small stature he'll likely have to make an impact at that end of the ice to thrive in the pros. | None |
