Johnson notched an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson's has three goals and five assists during his seven-game point streak. The 22-year-old was streaky in December, but he's gotten back to consistency in recent weeks -- he hasn't gone more than two games without a point since Jan. 4. The forward is up to 15 goals, 19 helpers, 74 shots on net and a minus-4 rating over 39 outings this season.

Johnson scored a goal, blocked two shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson's goal tied the game at 2-2 at 11:42 of the third period. He has three goals and four assists during his active six-game point streak. The 22-year-old continues to carve out solid numbers on offense from a second-line role. He's up to 15 tallies, 18 helpers, 72 shots on net and a minus-3 rating through 38 appearances. He's also up to 15 blocked shots, seven of which have come over the last eight outings, but he's not typically a big producer outside of offense.

Johnson posted an assist in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson has maintained steady offense in January with four goals and seven helpers over 13 outings. He did a little defensive work to get his assist Thursday, stripping the puck away before setting off a flurry of activity that culminated in Cole Sillinger's game-winning goal 52 seconds into overtime. Johnson is up to 32 points (14 goals, 18 assists), 71 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 37 appearances.

Johnson had a goal and an assist in a 7-4 loss to Carolina on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson's scoring streak sits at three games (two goals, two assists), and he has six points (three goals, three assists) in his last five games. Columbus has been patient with Johnson's development since the 2021 draft, and they have been rewarded. He's playing a stronger two-way game and has learned how to use his strength, instead of being knocked off the puck. Johnson has 14 goals and 16 assists in 35 games this season. He's a rising star.

Johnson scored a power-play goal on four shots and blocked three shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson is up to three goals and three assists over nine outings in January. Three of those points have come with the man advantage. The 22-year-old is up to 13 tallies, 14 assists, 68 shots on net and a minus-6 rating over 33 appearances. Monday also marked the first time all season he's blocked multiple shots in a game -- while he often plays in all situations, the bulk of his production comes from points, not physical play.

Johnson scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Thursday's 4-1 victory over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
An aggressive Sean Kuraly forecheck late in the first period led to a San Jose turnover, and Johnson was able to take advantage to score his 12th goal of the season and give Columbus a 2-0 lead. It's Johnson's first multi-point performance in over a month, and across his prior 14 contests, the 22-year-old had managed just two goals and six points. The young winger has been streaky all year -- he has five separate point streaks of three games or more in 2024-25, accounting for all of his production aside from Thursday's effort -- so he could be gearing up for another surge.

Johnson scored a goal and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson ended a six-game goal drought and got on the scoresheet for the third game in a row. His tally capped off a four-goal second period that put the Blue Jackets in the driver's seat. The 22-year-old forward is up to 11 goals, 24 points, 54 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 28 outings this season. Johnson continues to play in a second-line role as a winger, and it's unclear if the Blue Jackets want to move him to his natural center position during the absence of Sean Monahan (wrist).

Johnson notched a power-play assist and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Johnson scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 5-4 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
The tally was Johnson's 10th goal and 20th point of the season. He's picked up a goal and an assist over his last two contests to bounce back from a recent three-game dry spell. The 22-year-old forward has added 45 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 21 appearances. While he's currently in a middle-six role, Johnson has been one of the Blue Jackets' best scoring threats this season, though his fantasy value is highest in formats that focus on point production.

Johnson notched an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson had gone three games without a point entering Saturday. That's the second time he's had a drought of that length, but he's been more good than bad while filling a middle-six role in 2024-25. The 22-year-old is up to nine goals, 10 helpers, 43 shots on net and a minus-3 rating through 20 appearances. Johnson's production and pedigree -- he was taken fifth overall in 2021 -- make him a strong option for most fantasy formats, though he won't add much in the way of physical play.
