Outlook Kent Johnson

Kent Johnson looks to stay hot as Blue Jackets host Avalanche

Kent Johnson enters Tuesday's home tilt at Nationwide Arena riding impressive form, notching seven points across his last five games, including a dramatic overtime winner against Philadelphia. His stellar play has pushed his fantasy rostered mark near 39%. Deployed on Columbus' top forward line alongside Adam Fantilli and handling top power-play duties, the 24-year-old forward is receiving prime offensive deployment. While the Blue Jackets (5–7–0) enter as slight underdogs against a strong Colorado squad (9–5–1), tonight's matchup features a higher-scoring projected environment, and Columbus faces Avalanche netminder Scott Wedgewood (confirmed).

For tonight's action, our daily projection slots Johnson for ~0.5–1.0 point, ~1–2 shots on goal, and a small goal chance, translating to roughly 2.5 fantasy points. Columbus has three total games on tap this week, leaving two matchups remaining after tonight, with our models expecting around 10.9 fantasy points across the slate. His top-line placement and PP1 role give him an offensive ceiling that outperforms his sub-40% roster rate, making him an attractive addition in standard leagues. Today's action: Stream.
