Johnson scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 6-5 shootout win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson ended a 10-game point drought with the tally. The 23-year-old has seen second-line usage during the slump, though his ice time has often fluctuated. Fantasy managers counting on a repeat of his 57-point breakout from last year have been greatly disappointed -- he has just six points through 26 outings in 2025-26. He's added 46 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating, which is not a particularly useful level of production.

Johnson will return to the lineup Thursday after being a healthy scratch Tuesday in Seattle, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was thought that Johnson missed Tuesday's game with an illness, but head coach Dean Evason said that was not the case. Johnson will replace Boone Jenner (upper body) in the lineup. Johnson is off to a mediocre start with two goals, three assists and a minus-eight rating in 15 appearances.

Johnson (undisclosed) is not expected to play Tuesday versus the Kraken, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Blue Jackets have been dealing with an illness and could also have some injury concerns, so it's unclear why exactly Johnson is out. Johnson can be considered day-to-day until more information is available. Columbus will get Cole Sillinger and Miles Wood back from their respective illnesses to help fill out the lineup Tuesday.

Johnson scored an empty-net goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

The second line of Johnson, Adam Fantilli and Boone Jenner each contributed a goal and a helper in this win. Johnson has scored in back-to-back games and looks to be shaking off his early slump, which saw him held off the scoresheet in the first four contests. He's at three points, 12 shots and a plus-1 rating through six outings. Johnson has little physicality but should settle in as a reliable source of points and shots throughout the year.

Johnson scored a goal in a 3-2 win over the Lightning on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson nabbed a deflection in the crease and scored on a backhand early in the first period. It was his first goal (and point) of the season. Johnson put up a strong 57 points, including 22 goals, in 68 games last season. It was a great bounce back from a sophomore season where he had so many things go wrong. Still, Johnson's 19.5 shooting percentage was unsustainable, so expect him to fall back to earth a bit this year.

Johnson scored a power-play goal on three shots in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has two goals and five assists during his five-game point streak. The Blue Jackets have dug deep to stay in the playoff race this long, but their fate is out of their hands. Johnson is at 24 goals, 57 points, 120 shots on net, 29 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 67 contests in an impressive breakout campaign that should allow him to be a top-six player in Columbus for a long time.

Johnson delivered a goal and an assist in Saturday's 7-0 win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Both points came in the first period as the Blue Jackets put the game away early. Johnson has gotten onto the scoresheet in three straight games as Columbus makes a desperate push to catch Montreal for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, and the 22-year-old has produced a goal and nine points over the last seven contests. Johnson needs two more goals in the Blue Jackets' last three games to reach 25 for the first time in his career.

Johnson put up two assists Tuesday in a 5-2 win over Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has six assists in his last five games, but just seven shots in that span. And five of those shots have came Tuesday. He now has 52 points, including 22 goals, and 114 shots in 63 contests this season.

Johnson picked up a trio of assists Tuesday in an 8-4 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Two were primary assists, one of which came with the man advantage. Johnson has 49 points, including 27 helpers, in 59 games. He has the makings of a star if he can stay healthy, although we'd to see him take more shots. Johnson has 107 this season, and his 20.6 shooting percentage seems unsustainable.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.
