Wyatt Johnston

Johnston has gone from 41 to 65 to 71 points across his first three seasons in the NHL, and he hit a new career high in goals last year with 33. He’s still just 22 years old, so we probably haven’t seen his peak. It helps that he’s opened his career with a 246-game iron man streak, making his injury risk minimal. If there is a downside to his game, it’s the lack of physicality, which hurts his versatility in certain fantasy formats. He had 14 PIM and 45 hits in 2024-25 and probably won’t do any better in those categories this year. However, Johnston might continue to grow on the draw, after seeing his faceoff percentage climb from 43.3 to 50.2 to 51.2 across the last three years. In conclusion, there’s plenty to like here, and Johnston also has some upside. Read Past Outlooks
