The Columbus Blue Jackets have been bad to start this season, there’s no sugar coating it. But even in abject disaster, surely there are some bright spots, right? Today, we will attempt to find those bright spots to focus on early in this dismal Blue Jackets season.
Let’s get started. This might be a short exercise.
Kent Johnson
Kent Johnson is having an outstanding start to the season. Kent Johnson is currently:
- 6th on the team in CF%
- 1st on the team in goals for percentage
- 6th on the team in scoring chances for percentage
- tied-second as of this writing in points
- second as of this writing in goals scored
Yet, somehow, he is 23rd among players who have taken the ice for this team in time on ice per night (according to hockey-reference), ahead of only Eric Robinson, Liam Foudy, and Mathieu Olivier.
