Latest news
Johnson scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
The 24-year-old winger tapped home a Charlie Coyle feed from the edge of the crease midway through the third period for the game's final goal. Johnson scored just seven goals in 76 regular-season games during a rough 2025-26, but he's already matched that total in 11 contests this season, compiling 11 points, 24 shots on net, six hits, five blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-1 rating.

Johnson scored two goals and added an assist in a 4-3 overtime win over Philadelphia on Tuesday.
It was Johnson's third three-point NHL game; his second goal stood was the game-winner. He has five points (two goals, three assists) on just two shots in his last two games, and both his six goals and 10 points (10 games) lead Columbus this year. Johnson has always had high-end potential; this may be the breakout we've all been waiting on.

Johnson recorded two assists, including one on the power play, in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Golden Knights.
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 has 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. After posting just 22 points in 2025-26, he's on pace to finish the current campaign much closer to his career high of 57 regular-season points from 2024-25.

Johnson scored the game-winning goal on four shots in Saturday's 1-0 overtime win over the Rangers.
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. Johnson should have ample opportunities to keep scoring while skating on the top line and No. 1 power-play unit.

Johnson scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Panthers.
Johnson opened the scoring at 14:11 of the first period, but the Panthers dominated in the middle frame to run away with the game. This was Johnson's third goal and fourth point of the campaign. He has 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.

Johnson scored a goal on three shots and went minus-2 in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Blues.
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. It's shaping up to be a bounce-back year for Johnson, who was limited to 22 points over 76 games in the 2025-26 regular season.
