Helps out on both goals Saturday Johnson recorded two assists, including one on the power play, in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Johnson ended his seven-game assist drought Saturday in a big way, as he played a hand in each of the team's two goals. The 24-year-old winger's recent performances have raised his season totals up to four goals, seven points and 20 shots on net across nine outings this season. While he's bounced around the Blue Jackets' lineup in the past, he appears to be settling into his current role as the team's top-line right winger nicely. After a down year offensively in 2025-26, where he compiled just 22 points, he's on pace to finish the current campaign much closer to his career high of 57 regular-season points from 2024-25. Johnson's main fantasy value is in deep points-only leagues, but if the Jackets can start to slowly turn things around, he'll likely play a major role in that effort.

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.
