Kent Johnson Debuts Against Montreal Tonight

The Columbus Blue Jackets fifth-overall draft selection this past summer will make his NHL debut tonight against the Montreal Canadiens.

Aaron Portzline of The Athletic, as mentioned, confirms all the necessary paperwork has been filed, so Johnson is good to go.

The Port Moody, BC native should mesh nicely with the Blue Jackets forward group. This group includes sharpshooter Patrick Laine, Jack Roslovic, Cole Sillinger and Jakub Voracek.

Should be a fun player to watch!
