One could make the case that Oliver BJORKSTRAND has been the best Blue Jackets forward for the last three seasons, since he stepped up in 2019-20 to fill the void left by the departure of star forwards such as Artemi Panarin.
In a season that saw an offensive explosion throughout the roster, BJORKSTRAND led the way. He led the team in goals and points, while also setting personal career highs in those categories. He also tied his career-best in assists, but was merely fifth on the team in that stat (trailing Voracek, Werenski, Nyquist, and Laine). He led the team in power play goals (nine).
