VICTORY! Blue Jackets Take Down the Rangers in Overtime!

12 HOURS AGO • YOUTUBE

Nets overtime winner Johnson scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 1-0 overtime win over the Rangers.

Impact Johnson has scored in three consecutive games, bringing his season total to a team-leading four goals, and he's cracked the scoresheet in all but one of his six appearances to date. The 24-year-old winger is enjoying an excellent start to the season, and while this scoring pace is unsustainable, his numbers and overall involvement on offense have been encouraging for fantasy managers. Set in the first line on both even-strength and power-play situations, Johnson should continue to have ample opportunities to keep scoring.

Nets another goal Johnson scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Johnson opened the scoring at 14:11 of the first period, though the Panthers would dominate in the middle frame to run away with the game. This was Johnson's third goal and fourth point of the campaign, and he's added 14 shots on net, three blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over five appearances. He's in a top-line role and should be a decent source of offense as he looks to bounce back from last year's 22-point disappointment.

Finds twine in loss Johnson scored a goal on three shots and went minus-2 in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Blues.

Impact Johnson has gotten on the scoresheet in three of the Blue Jackets' four games so far this season. He has two goals, one assist, 11 shots on net and a minus-1 rating while filling a top-line role.

Tallies lone goal in loss Johnson scored a goal on five shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Mammoth.

Impact Johnson has a goal, an assist, six shots and a plus-1 rating over two games this season. The 23-year-old struggled to just 22 points in 76 outings in 2025-26, compared to a 24-goal, 57-point effort in 68 games the year before. The reality likely lies between those two marks -- Johnson should be around 40-50 points in a bounce-back campaign. He has usage on his side this year, with a top-line job alongside Adam Fantilli and Matthew Knies proving fruitful early in the season. For fantasy purposes, Johnson will only help in the scoring categories.

Snaps goal drought Saturday Johnson scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.

Impact Johnson had been limited to two assists over his previous 12 outings, a span in which he was also scratched twice. The 23-year-old has had a difficult campaign despite the Blue Jackets' overall improvements. He has just seven goals, 21 points, 105 shots on net, 37 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 66 appearances. Johnson's ice time has fluctuated quite a bit under interim head coach Rick Bowness, making the forward a risky fantasy option.

He's up to six goals, 18 points, 82 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating through 53 contests overall, mainly in a middle-six role.

Two-point effort Thursday Johnson scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact The 23-year-old winger had managed just one point, a goal, over the prior 11 games, but Johnson made an impact Thursday by feeding Zach Werenski in the second period for Columbus' third goal before wrapping up the scoring himself midway through the third. Johnson's power-play point was his first of the season, and after a rough beginning to the campaign under former coach Dean Evason, the fifth overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft seems to be getting more opportunities under Rick Bowness, skating on the top PP unit in each of the last two games.

Finds twine in loss Johnson scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Johnson ended a seven-game point drought with the tally. The 23-year-old has moved around the lineup lately, but he was on the second line with 16:41 of ice time Thursday, his highest total since Nov. 26 versus the Maple Leafs. Johnson has fallen far short of expectations created from his 24-goal, 57-point 2024-25 campaign, earning just four goals, eight assists, 63 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating through 42 outings this season. He's shooting just 6.3 percent in 2025-26 compared to 19.5 percent last year -- once he can find a middle ground, he should be a much more consistent scorer.
