Kent Johnson looking to win more battles for Columbus Blue Jackets, avoid doghouse Columbus Blue Jackets coach Dean Evason isn't shy about his standards, and Kent Johnson is trying to measure up.

Back in action Thursday Johnson will return to the lineup Thursday after being a healthy scratch Tuesday in Seattle, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Impact It was thought that Johnson missed Tuesday's gam with an illness, but head coach Dean Evason said that was not the case. Johnson will replace Boone Jenner (upper body) in the lineup. Johnson is off to a mediocre start with two goals, three assists and a minus-eight rating in 15 appearances.

Absent from lineup Tuesday Johnson (undisclosed) is not expected to play Tuesday versus the Kraken, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Impact The Blue Jackets have been dealing with an illness and could also have some injury concerns, so it's unclear why exactly Johnson is out. Johnson can be considered day-to-day until more information is available. Columbus will get Cole Sillinger and Miles Wood back from their respective illnesses to help fill out the lineup Tuesday.

One of each Tuesday Johnson scored an empty-net goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Stars.

Impact The second line of Johnson, Adam Fantilli and Boone Jenner each contributed a goal and a helper in this win. Johnson has scored in back-to-back games and looks to be shaking off his early slump, which saw him held off the scoresheet in the first four contests. He's at three points, 12 shots and a plus-1 rating through six outings. Johnson has little physicality but should settle in as a reliable source of points and shots throughout the year.

Finally gets first goal of season Johnson scored a goal in a 3-2 win over the Lightning on Saturday.

Impact Johnson nabbed a deflection in the crease and scored on a backhand early in the first period. It was his first goal (and point) of the season. Johnson put up a strong 57 points, including 22 goals, in 68 games last season. It was a great bounce back from a sophomore season where he had so many things go wrong. Still, Johnson's 19.5 shooting percentage was unsustainable, so expect him to fall back to earth a bit this year.

Johnson is at 24 goals, 57 points, 120 shots on net, 29 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 67 contests in an impressive breakout campaign that should allow him to be a top-six player in Columbus for a long time.
