Kent Johnson | Fantasy Outlook
Johnson brings top-line role and goal-scoring surge into home clash vs Rangers
Kent Johnson enters tonight’s home contest against the Rangers at Nationwide Arena on a sharp scoring surge, already potting three goals over his last four games. Operating on Columbus’s top forward line alongside Adam Fantilli and Matthew Knies while securing prime PP1 duties, Johnson’s expanded opportunity has boosted his fantasy interest, with ownership climbing to 15 percent. The Blue Jackets are slight home favorites in what shapes up as a higher-scoring matchup against a 6–3–0 New York squad that is tentatively turning to Dylan Garand (unconfirmed) in net.
Our projections anticipate roughly ~0.5–1.0 point and ~1–2 shots on goal tonight, with a small goal chance and potential power-play upside as Johnson anchors Columbus's top unit. Tonight marks the front half of a back-to-back set with one game remaining after tonight on this three-game weekly schedule, where our models forecast about 6.5 total fantasy points. While Johnson’s peripheral floor is modest, his top-line minutes and offensive rhythm make him an appealing upside play in deeper leagues. Today’s action: Stream.
