Columbus Blue Jackets improved to 29-20-7 and moved within two points of third place in their division before the NHL Olympic break, powered by Greaves' shutout and Werenski's scoring streak.
- On Wednesday night at Nationwide Arena, the Columbus Blue Jackets beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-0, extending their winning streak to seven.
- After Rick Bowness took over on Jan. 12, the Blue Jackets went on a run with a 10-1-0 record since he replaced Dean Evason and an 11-1-0 stretch in the last 12 games.
- Greaves delivered a 21-save shutout for his second this season, while defenseman Zach Werenski became the first to reach 20 goals before the Olympic break and extended his seven-game streak.

- Most players will rest for a couple weeks before returning to practice Feb. 18 in Columbus, after the Blue Jackets achieved consecutive shutouts for the first time since 2020 and first by different goalies since 2019.
