Points Predictions: Columbus Blue Jackets Forwards

5 of 6

Boone Jenner

  • Last Season: 45 G, 37 A for 82 Points (OHL – Oshawa Generals)
  • 2013-2014 Season Prediction: 14 G, 21 A for 35 Points
  • Jenner was a goal scoring, and assisting beast in the OHL last season. He showed in the preseason what he is made of and everyone was raving about him. Being slotted on a line with Dubinsky and Gaborik will help his points production, he can only hope to stay with those two players throughout the season.

Last Season: 5 G, 7 A for 12 Points

2013-2014 Season Prediction: 14 G, 16 A for 30 Points

Johansen is set to be the third line center, which is perfectly fine when you are behind players like Dubinsky and Anisimov. He will also be seeing sometime on the the power play which should help increase his points total. If Johansen wants to move up in the depth chart in the future he is going to have to continue to develop his skills and step up his play.

Mark Letestu

  • Last Season: 13 G, 14 A for 27 Points
  • 2013-2014 Season Prediction: 19 G, 16 A for 35 Points
  • Letestu was the leading scorer for the Blue Jackets last season, but since Gaborik’s arrival he will most likely not repeat that feat. It was noted on BlueJackets.NHL.com that Letestu may be on the wing with Anisimov to start the season. He is listed as a center but will more than likely be on the wings since the Blue Jackets have depth at center.
