#CBJ Zach Werenski had, by his standard, relatively low ice time at @Olympics, playing 16:23/game, including 12:10 in the gold-medal game.
It's unclear if he'll join the club on Wednesday or Thursday in Boston, but #CBJ coach Rick Bowness had fun when asked about Werenski today:
The Athletic: Blue Jackets’ Zach Werenski won’t be the same after winning gold with Team USA in Italy, two-time gold medal winner Rick Nash said.
“To win a game like that, yeah, it’s something big you carry with you.”

When does #CBJ practice begin on Sunday? Good question.
#CBJ players (most of them) will gather at Nationwide Arena early in the morning to watch the USA - Canada gold medal game.
Coach Rick Bowness, as excited as anybody, said practice will start 45 minutes after the game ends.
The Athletic: As the Olympics play on, #CBJ get back to work - sans Zach Werenski - today in Nationwide.
Coach Rick Bowness can further put his stamp on #CBJ w six practices in the next eight days.
A mighty challenge awaits when they resume play Feb. 26.

Told #CBJ granted permission for assistant coach Scott Ford to interview during the break with Brown U. for its men's hockey vacancy.
Further conversations coming b/w GM Don Waddell and coach Rick Bowness if Ford is offered the job.
@MarkDivver first reported Brown/Ford talks.
#CBJ Zach Werenski opened scoring for Team USA on Sunday in a 5-1 win over Germany.
Werenski’s goal is the first-ever for USA by a #CBJ player, and the first goal by a Jackets’ player in the Olympics since Feb. 24, 2010, when Rick Nash scored in Canada’s 7-3 win over Russia.
The two #CBJ Olympians - Zach Werenski (USA) and Elvis Merzlikins (Latvia) - face each other today in the Olympic opener for both countries. Puck drop in about 30 minutes.

#CBJ confirm that F Sean Monahan left Saturday’s win in St. Louis due to illness, not as a result of the first-period hit by #StlBlues Brayden Schenn.
Apparently, a sickness has been creeping about the room lately. Mathieu Olivier was able to play through it on Friday in Chicago.
