Pots goal in loss Johnson scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.

Impact Johnson ended a four-game slump with his third-period tally, which got the Blue Jackets within two goals before the Penguins put away an empty-netter. The 22-year-old forward had not gone more than three contests without a point prior to his most recent skid. It's still been a wildly successful campaign for the fifth-overall pick from 2021, as he's racked up 22 goals, 46 points, 104 shots on net and a minus-4 rating over 55 appearances in his third full NHL campaign.

Extends productive stretch Johnson scored a goal, took two shots and recorded two PIM in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Rangers.

Impact Johnson didn't crack the scoresheet in the 3-0 loss to the Panthers on Thursday, but that has been the lone game over his last eight in which he's failed to record either a goal or an assist. Johnson has been a complete model of consistency for the Blue Jackets in recent weeks and has notched 18 points (nine goals, nine assists) across his last 17 games since Jan. 20 onwards. The 22-year-old forward, one of the most promising young players in the league, has 44 points (21 goals, 23 assists) in 49 appearances this season.

Four-game, six-point streak Johnson had a goal and an assist in a 5-2 win over the Red Wings on Thursday.

Impact Johnson has delivered points in four consecutive games (four goals, two assists). And the newly-formed line of him, James van Riemsdyk and Boone Jenner keyed a big second-period scoring run with three of the team's four snipes in that frame. Johnson has elevated his game to a near point-per-game pace (45 games; 20 goals and 21 assists).

Blue Jackets host the Stars after Johnson's 2-goal game

The Columbus Blue Jackets host the Dallas Stars after Kent Johnson's two-goal game against the Chicago Blackhawks in the Blue Jackets' 5-1 win

FEBRUARY 24, 2025 • Associated Press

Tallies two goals Saturday Johnson found the back of the net twice on his two shot attempts in Saturday's 5-1 victory against the Blackhawks.

Impact Johnson tallied the first two goals of the game, including the go-ahead goal early in the second period while on the power play. The 22-year-old forward is up to 19 goals, 38 points and 83 shots on net in 43 appearances this season. Johnson has quietly been one of the most consistent players in the entire league since the start of 2025 with 17 points in 18 games. He is two points shy of his career high of 40 points from 2022 and is likely to contend with the 50-point mark while skating in the Blue Jackets' top six. He should be a waiver wire priority in deeper leagues and holds decent value in standard formats and leagues that value offensive production.

Finds back of net again Johnson scored a goal in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.

Impact The 22-year-old sniper got Columbus on the board late in the first period with another slick tally, as he took a feed from Zach Werenski below the faceoff circle to the left of Jonathan Quick, calmly settled the puck down and then snapped it under the goalie's outstretched glove. Johnson hasn't gone more than two straight games without lighting the lamp since early January, and over the last 15 games he's racked up seven goals and 13 points. Saturday's goal also established a new career high for Johnson, and through 42 appearances this season the fifth overall pick in the 2021 Draft has produced 17 goals and 36 points.
