Outlook Kent Johnson
Johnson carries scorching form into road matchup against Buffalo
Kent Johnson carries scorching momentum into Friday's road clash with the Sabres at KeyBank Center. Fresh off potting another shootout winner against Dallas last night, Johnson has racked up nine points in his last six games while seeing his average ice time climb past 18 minutes. Fantasy managers have reacted quickly to the 24-year-old's surge, lifting his start rate up to 46%. Skating on the second line alongside Adam Fantilli and Matthew Knies with steady PP1 deployment, Johnson enters tonight as a road underdog on the second night of a back-to-back, facing netminder Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (confirmed) in a higher-scoring environment.
Our projections expect Johnson to stay involved offensively, anticipating ~0.5–1.0 point, ~1–2 shots on goal, and a small goal chance, translating to approximately 2.5 fantasy points. Tonight marks the final contest of Columbus’s three-game weekly schedule, giving managers one last chance this week to capitalize on his top power-play role and lethal offensive touch. Even facing travel fatigue and a quick turnaround, his high-leverage usage keeps his upside intact in all standard formats. Today's action: Start.
