This past season was one to remember for the Columbus Blue Jackets. They fell just short of a playoff spot, but in the face of adversity, they battled hard and had the entire hockey world pulling for them.

There was a lot to like. Zach Werenski is finally getting the recognition he deserves, landing as a finalist for the Norris Trophy. Both Kirill Marchenko and Adam Fantilli accomplished something that hadn’t been done in Columbus since 2015-16—each hit the 30-goal mark and had dominant seasons.

Fantilli & Marchenko Achieve Rare Feat Not Seen Since 2015-16 When Adam Fantilli scored his 30th goal of the season the other night, it was a feat of its own. It was his first time hitting the 30-goal mark and only the ninth time a player has done so in Columbus Blue Jackets history — the 17th occurrence overall.

The Blue Jackets also had a record-tying five players hit 20 goals this year. Werenski, Fantilli, and Marchenko were joined by Kent Johnson and Dmitri Voronkov in reaching that mark.

They were just one goal away from making it six, but Sean Monahan missed time due to injury and finished the season with 19.

Regardless, it’s another sign of progress in what turned out to be a fun and challenging season in Columbus.
