Jack Johnson blocked a team-high seven shots on Thursday.

Johnson matched the entire Dallas Stars squad in that regard to lead Columbus to a 3-1 victory. Johnson also recorded an assist and logged a team-high 25:59 minutes of ice time.

Jack Johnson recorded two assists on Tuesday.

That gives Johnson four goals and 14 points in 26 games this season. He also ranks third in the NHL by averaging 26:32 minutes of ice time per game.

Jack Johnson scored the only Columbus goal in a 2-1 shootout loss to Chicago Thursday night.

With three goals in his last six games, Johnson has quietly begun to turn around what started out as a miserable season for him and he has now amassed a respectable 12 points in 24 contests. Derick Brassard and Brandon Dubinsky drew assists on Thursday's marker.

Jack Johnson was activated from the IL on Tuesday March 5.

Jack Johnson (shoulder) could return to the Columbus lineup as early as Tuesday.

Johnson has missed the last four games and is expected to practice with the Blue Jackets today with a decision on whether or not he can play to come later in the day. Johnson has a goal and eight points in 18 games this season and the Blue Jackets miss his presence on the blueline.

Jack Johnson (upper body) is "maybe a week away," according to Blue Jackets coach Todd Richards.

The Blue Jackets could use Johnson back now more than ever given that James Wisniewski has a broken foot. Johnson has a goal and eight points in 18 games this season.

The Columbus Blue Jackets placed defenseman Jack Johnson (upper-body) on the injured reserve Sunday.

Johnson's offensive output is a touch disappointing overall, although he's been heating up lately, getting four of his eight 2013 points in the last six games. His -10 rating is upsetting but not particularly surprising.

Jack Johnson was a minus-three Sunday and is now minus-seven on the season.

Johnson was on the ice for all three Oiler goals as it was not a great game for the blueliner. He has not been a good plus/minus player in his career and his plus-five rating when he came over from the Kings last season, looks to be an aberration. He has a goal and four points in 12 games this season.

Jack Johnson logged 27:10 minutes on Thursday, which is actually a step down for him.

Johnson leads the league with an average of 28:30 minutes per game and was on the ice for over 34 minutes in each of his previous two contests. "I want to play," Johnson said. "Nobody wants to sit on the bench. But I just do what I'm told. I go out when they need. But as you get more players back they're probably not going to need me to do that anymore."

The injury to James Wisniewski creates a void on the Columbus blue line that's hard to fill.

It's no secret that Jack Johnson will be asked to take on as many minutes as he can handle, as evidenced by the 34:59 he played against the Detroit, but there comes a point when his production may suffer. For the time being, consider Johnson as solid an option as ever despite his relatively slow start.
