Labanc notched an assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Ducks. Labanc has played in 11 straight games, but he has just two points to show for it. The 29-year-old has mostly served in a fourth-line role in that span, so his chances on offense are likely to be limited. Labanc now has two goals, 10 assists, 25 shots on net, 24 hits and a plus-6 rating over 25 appearances, but his usage is too sporadic to make him a reliable option for fantasy managers.

Labanc scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Oilers. Labanc snapped an 11-game goal drought, during which he had four assists, with his opening goal at 2:31 of the first period. He's played in a season-high six straight games, though he saw just 9:44 of ice time Thursday. Labanc is tough to roster in fantasy since his defensive issues occasionally lead to him being scratched. He's up to two goals, 11 points, 23 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-6 rating over 20 appearances this season.

Labanc notched an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Canadiens. Labanc has four helpers over his last three games after helping out on a Dante Fabbro tally in Saturday's contest. While he's been fairly productive in a limited role, Labanc has yet to play in more than four consecutive games this season, so he may still be at risk of an occasional healthy scratch. The winger has 10 points, 16 shots on net, 12 hits and a plus-5 rating over 13 appearances despite averaging only 11:22 of ice time. He's already surpassed the nine points he collected in 46 games with the Sharks last season.

Labanc recorded two assists, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Kraken. Labanc helped out on first-period tallies by his linemates, Sean Kuraly and Zach Aston-Reese. Of the three members of Columbus' fourth line in this game, Labanc appears to have the least security in the lineup. He's been scratched five times this season, but he's racked up eight points, 16 shots on net, 12 hits and a plus-4 rating over 11 appearances. Labanc is likely to compete with James van Riemsdyk for playing time over the majority of the campaign.

Labanc tallied a goal and added three shots during Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Capitals. Labanc netted his first goal of 2024-25 after potting six goals for the Devils in the preseason before signing with the Blue Jackets. Labanc has reached at least the 40-point plateau twice in his NHL career and could work his way up the depth chart, given that he has a goal and six points through eight outings for the Blue Jackets. Still, he needs more consistency to become a useful fantasy asset.
