2018-19 Player Review: Josh Anderson makes a big impact

Every evenin’ at Nationwide you could see him have fun
He stood six-foot-three and weighed two-twenty-one
Kinda broad at the shoulder and thick at the hip
And everybody knew ya didn’t give no lip to Big Josh (Big Josh)
Big Bad Josh (Big Josh)

(That’s one for the old timers here)

In his first full season with the Columbus Blue Jackets, Josh Anderson played on a checking line, with flashes here and there of offensive ability. In year two, he moved up to the top line and was highly productive with Artemi Panarin and Pierre-Luc Dubois (the “PBJ Line”) until missing 19 games with injury.
