2022 Player Review - Kent Johnson has a promising future
Photo by Ben Jackson/NHLI via Getty ImagesAs the 2021-22 Columbus Blue Jackets season wore down, fans looked to the future. And as the 2021-22 Michigan Wolverines (Boo) season wore down, so did Kent Johnson. After being eliminated in the Frozen Four semifinal, Johnson made the cross-town jaunt to Little Caesar’s Arena, met his team, and prepped for his debut.
Drafted 5th overall this past year, Johnson made his debut on April 13 versus the Montreal Canadiens. His vision and playmaking ability were apparent, but he didn’t get on the score sheet until April 19, with an assist in San Jose, and then got two more apples in his final five games.
