• Blue Jackets' Jake Christiansen: Nets first goal of season

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Christiansen scored a goal and went plus-3 in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Flyers. Christiansen ended an eight-game point drought with the third-period tally, which briefly gave the Blue Jackets a 4-3 lead. The 25-year-old defenseman has seen steady bottom-fourth usage this season but has little to show for it on the stat sheet. He's racked up seven points (one goal, six assists), 39 shots on net, 32 blocked shots, 24 hits, 11 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 34 outings this season.

• Blue Jackets' Jake Christiansen: Sends assist in loss

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  Christiansen logged an assist in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Oilers. Christiansen snapped an eight-game point drought with the helper. He remains confined to a limited third-pairing role, though his 13:10 of ice time Thursday was his most in a game since Nov. 16. The blueliner has six assists, 29 shots on net, 25 blocked shots, 19 hits, 11 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 25 appearances, and he appears to have more security in the lineup than Jack Johnson or Jordan Harris.

• Blue Jackets' Jake Christiansen: Adds helper Friday

  11/16/2024 • By RotoWire

  Christiansen logged an assist, two PIM, two hits and four blocked shots in Friday's 6-2 win over the Penguins. Christiansen opened the season with four helpers over six games, but his offense has dipped since then. The 25-year-old snapped a nine-game slump with his assist Friday. In addition to five helpers, the blueliner has added 25 shots on net, 17 blocked shots, 13 hits and six PIM over 16 contests. He's playing in a bottom-four role without power-play time, so he's unlikely to be much of a factor in fantasy even though he's already earned a career year.

• Blue Jackets' Jake Christiansen: Two-point effort in win

  10/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  Christiansen notched two assists in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sabres. The 25-year-old came into the season with only 44 NHL games and seven points (one goal, six assists) under his belt, but Christiansen has been impressive to begin the 2024-25 campaign. Through four appearances, he's recorded three helpers, six shots, three hits, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating. Christiansen's play has effectively kept top prospect David Jiricek as a healthy scratch for every game so far.

• Blue Jackets' Jake Christiansen: Snags assist Saturday

  10/13/2024 • By RotoWire

  Christiansen produced an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Avalanche. Christiansen found Kent Johnson for the Blue Jackets' second goal in the first period. The 25-year-old Christiansen is attempting to establish himself in a bottom-four role this season. Over the previous three years, he's logged a goal and six assists over 44 appearances. He has limited offensive upside and doesn't make up for it with extra physicality, so he's not a player most fantasy managers need to follow.
