7 months ago
Blues can't win third straight again, as they lose 6-4 in Columbus In their seventh try at winning a third straight game, the Blues again failed, this time in a 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets on Saturday night...
Alexandre Texier - Generates helper in loss Texier recorded an assist in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact Texier got on the scoresheet in his return to Columbus, where he played his first five NHL seasons. The 25-year-old's return wasn't triumphant, but he has some momentum on offense with five points over his last six outings. Texier is still competing for playing time with players like Mathieu Joseph, Zachary Bolduc and Oskar Sundqvist. For the season, Texier has eight points, 35 shots on net, 12 hits and a minus-2 rating over 22 appearances in a bottom-six role.

Jordan Harris - Finds helper in win Harris managed an assist in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Blues.
Impact While Harris got on the scoresheet, he saw just 4:32 of ice time as the Blue Jackets remained in a seven-defensemen system. The 24-year-old's limited usage suggests he's in danger of returning to the press box if the team flips back to the traditional 12-forward, six-defensemen alignment. Harris has done little in his first year with the Blue Jackets, picking up three points, 12 shots on net, 17 hits, 26 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 24 appearances.

Kent Johnson - Contributes helper in win Johnson notched a power-play assist and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Blues.
Impact Johnson's consistency from October and November has turned to streaky play. He ended a three-game point drought when he helped out on a Kirill Marchenko tally in the second period. Johnson remains on the second line, so he's still in a good position to produce offense. The 22-year-old has 22 points (eight on the power play), 52 shots on net and a minus-7 rating through 26 appearances, making him a strong offense-only option in fantasy.

Mathieu Olivier - Ends chaos with empty-netter Olivier scored an empty-net goal on four shots, added seven PIM, doled out five hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Blues.
Impact Olivier's goal was the last of eight scored between the two teams in a chaotic third period. He snapped a four-game point drought Saturday, but he's partially made up for the lack of offense by being a steady source of hits and PIM. For the season, the 27-year-old winger has a career-high 16 points with 47 shots on net, 79 PIM, 147 hits, 46 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through just 40 appearances.

Mikael Pyyhtia - Nets shortie Saturday Pyyhtia scored a shorthanded goal in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Blues.
Impact Pyyhtia has played in 11 straight games, picking up three goals and a helper in that span. His tally Saturday was the first shorthanded point of his NHL career. The 23-year-old forward has been effective in a bottom-six role, but not to a level that would garner fantasy interest. Overall, he has four goals, two assists, 24 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over 30 appearances.
