Blue Jackets' Kent Johnson: Extends productive stretch

Johnson scored a goal, took two shots and recorded two PIM in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Rangers.

Johnson didn't crack the scoresheet in the 3-0 loss to the Panthers on Thursday, but that has been the lone game over his last eight in which he's failed to record a point. Johnson has been a complete model of consistency for the Blue Jackets in recent weeks and has notched 18 points (nine goals, nine assists) across his last 17 games since Jan. 20. The 22-year-old forward, one of the most promising young players in the league, has 44 points (21 goals, 23 assists) in 49 appearances this season.
