Provorov logged an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Islanders. Provorov is up to three helpers through nine outings this season. The 27-year-old defenseman continues to play in a top-four role with time on the second power-play unit. He has added 11 shots on net, 13 blocked shots, four hits, four PIM and a plus-5 rating. Provorov doesn't hit as much as he did earlier in his career, and his defense can falter at times, but he's still likely to maintain a prominent role throughout 2024-25.

Provorov notched an assist, four shots on goal, two blocked shots, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sabres. Provorov fills more of a shutdown role in the Blue Jackets' top four, so it's unlikely he'll ever be reliable on offense. The helper was his first point through four contests this season, to go with six shots on net, six blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating. Over his first eight NHL campaigns, he's topped 30 points on five occasions while reaching the 100-hit mark three times and never posting fewer than 106 blocked shots, so he has some fantasy value in formats that reward non-scoring production.

Provorov scored his fifth goal of the season late in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Rangers. The goal was just Provorov's fifth of the year. The 27-year-old defender isn't having a career-best campaign by any stretch, but five goals and 26 points through 57 games represent his best offensive production rate since the 2019-20 season. However, he's taking shots at the lowest rate of his career and has a minus-12 rating.

Provorov notched an assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Sharks. Provorov required X-rays after Tuesday's game versus the Senators, but he was able to shake off the injury with three days off between games. The defenseman also snapped his nine-game point drought Saturday with a helper on Boone Jenner's game-winning goal late in the third period. Provorov is up to 24 points, 72 shots on net, 99 blocked shots, 44 hits and a minus-13 rating through 53 outings in his first year with the Blue Jackets. His offense is in the same range as most other seasons, though his physicality has dropped in 2023-24.

Provorov (undisclosed) will be back in action versus the Sharks on Saturday, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports. Provorov will avoid missing any time after getting hurt against the Senators on Thursday. The blueliner should continue to see significant minutes going forward, as he has logged over 22 minutes of ice time in 25 of his 52 games this season. With just eight more points, Provorov will hit the 30-point threshold for the fifth time in his eight-year NHL career.
