Impact
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.

Impact
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.

Ready for training camp
Blankenburg (ankle) was on the ice for Thursday's practice at Blue Jackets camp, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
Impact
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 shuffled out of the Opening Night lineup after the Blue Jackets added Damon Severson and Ivan Provorov in the offseason.

Labeled week-to-week
Blankenburg is considered week-to-week after suffering an ankle injury, the team announced Monday.
Impact
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 the most likely candidate.

Blankenburg helped out on a Liam Foudy tally in the third period. With four helpers over his last nine outings, Blankenburg is holding his own in a top-four role.

Two helpers in Tuesday's win
Blankenburg notched two assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Sabres.
Impact
He saw only 16 seconds of time with the man advantage on the night, but Blankenburg made them count. The 24-year-old had only one point, a helper, over his prior 11 games, but his role on the Columbus blue line could grow down the stretch with Vladislav Gavrikov getting sent to the Kings on Wednesday.
