Gudbranson missed the Blue Jackets' previous contest Saturday vs. the Islanders due to an upper-body injury and will be a game-time decision Monday. The 30-year-old has five assists and a -5 plus/minus through 19 games this season prior to the injury.
Zamula is back up with the Flyers where he posted two assists, a +1 plus/minus with four SOG through nine games in his previous stint with Philadelphia earlier in the season. He will be looking to add to his 21 career NHL games played and improve on his -4 plus/minus rating across those games.
Mayo was a healthy scratch in the Coyotes' previous game but will return to the lineup Wednesday vs. Carolina. The 26-year-old has struggled this season as he has yet to pick up a point and is a -7 plus/minus through 12 games.
Dysin Mayo will head to the press box Monday vs. Nashville as Jakob Chychrun returns to the lineup. Mayo has struggled this season as he is yet to pick up a point while picking up a -7 plus minus across 12 total games played.
Zamula will be assigned to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL) after putting up two assists and four SOG through nine games played. The 22-year-old defenseman has played limited minutes for the Flyers prior to his demotion, only averaging 13:27 TOI.
Gaunce was a healthy scratch vs. the Canadiens on Thursday but will replace Jack Roslovic (illness) in the lineup on Saturday. Gaunce has one assist in three games since joining the Blue Jackets in mid-November.
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%.

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.
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.

Werenski should make a full recovery and be back in time for next year's training camp.
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.
Gaunce has been enjoying a strong start to 2021-22 in the AHL with Cleveland, scoring 11 points (4G/7A) in his first 10 games prior to his promotion. In 148 career NHL games, he has 11 goals and 23 points.

With the return of Rasmus Ristolainen (lower-body), Egor Zamula will unluckily be the odd man out of the Flyers' lineup Tuesday. The 22-year-old has two points through his first nine games while collecting four shots on goal across only 13:27 ATOI.
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.
