Jake Christiansen - NHL News & Rumors

Nets first goal of season Christiansen scored a goal and went plus-3 in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Flyers.

Impact 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 he has little to show for it. 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 overall.

Sends assist in loss Christiansen logged an assist in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Oilers.

Impact 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.

Adds helper Friday Christiansen logged an assist, two PIM, two hits and four blocked shots in Friday's 6-2 win over the Penguins.

Impact 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 helper,s 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.

Two-point effort in win Christiansen notched two assists in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sabres.

Impact 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 games 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.

Snags assist Saturday Christiansen produced an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Avalanche.

Impact 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.

Avoids arbitration Christiansen agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way deal with Columbus on Wednesday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

Impact Christiansen was headed for an arbitration case but appears to have found some middle ground with the Jackets. Given the two-way nature of his deal, fantasy players should be expecting the blueliner to split his time between the NHL and AHL, at best. With just 44 NHL games under his belt, Christiansen won't offer much in terms of fantasy value any time soon.
