Jack Johnson News

Johnson was sent home this morning because of an illness and he is questionable for tonight’s game against the Islanders. Monitor his status leading up to and during pre-game warmups. Justin Falk will play if Johnson can’t go.

Johnson will miss this Friday and Saturday’s games as well as next Tuesday in Washington. He is eligible to return next Friday in Philadelphia. The Blue Jackets are already depleted with injuries, so a suspension was the last thing they needed.

The Blue Jackets best defenceman Jack Johnson has missed the last four games with a shoulder injury but will be back in the lineup tonight. Johnson has one goal and seven assists in 18 games this season. He is a good fantasy option if you have other players to counter his minus-10.

Johnson is the Blue Jackets best defenceman and he has missed their last four games with a shoulder injury. Johnson is averaging just over 26 minutes a game this year and the Blue Jackets will be excited to get him back.

Johnson (shoulder) was placed on IR after he was injured vs. St. Louis on Saturday. He is only a week away from returning to the lineup according to coach Todd Richards. This is great news for Columbus because Johnson is their top defenceman and he eats up a ton of minutes every night.

Make sure to get Johnson out of your lineup because he won't be playing in the near future. Johnson was placed on IR and is a massive loss for the Blue Jackets. Johnson eats up 26:13 a game on average. Columbus is now without Brandon Dubinsky, Artem Anisimov and Johnson... Arguably their three best players.

As expected, Johnson lines up in the top four alongside James Wisniewski. He has eight goals and 24 points in 61 games.

The Blue Jackets' defense will remain the same tonight. However, expect Johnson to play in the top four when he draws in.

Johnson gives the Blue Jackets more depth on the blue line. He scored eight goals and 24 points in 61 games with a minus-12 rating.

Johnson moves down a pairing which means he likely gets less time in the offensive zone. However, he is the top offensive defenseman on the pair so he should be a more impactful player. So far the former third overall pick has four goals and nine points.

The Kings finally put these two together at even strength. Johnson is off to an excellent start with four goals and eight points over 17 games.
