The acquisition of Anisimov by the Blue Jackets has proven to be a pretty good one. His on-ice play continues to grow in Columbus, and the forward lines are really starting to come together. His play this season has been very impressive, and after 44 games played has 20 points (12 goals, 8 assists) and a +1 rating.
Artem won a silver medal with Russia in the 2010 World Championships in Germany. He has also won a bronze and a silver medal in the World Juniors.
