In 18 games with the Columbus Blue Jackets this season, Markus Hannikainen has already passed his career high in goals and points, as well as tied his career high in assists. While the most games he’s played in a season is 33 last season, it seems as if the young Finnish forward is on his way to a much longer season this time around.
Hannikainen has a three game point streak going at the moment and a point in four of the last five. That’s on top of a constant work ethic on defense and in the corners.
