2025 Fantasy Outlook
Christiansen appeared in a career-high 68 regular-season games in 2024-25, registering one goal, seven assists, 58 shots on net, 65 blocked shots and 50 hits. He averaged a mere 12:32 of playing time per game and missed some action down the final stretch of the year due to injuries. Christiansen may not be a regular in the lineup for the Blue Jackets in 2025-26, but he could become a decent source of hits and blocks if his role increases. Read Past Outlooks

Collects first helper
DColumbus Blue Jackets
November 25, 2025
Christiansen notched an assist, two hits, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Capitals.
ANALYSIS
The helper was Christiansen's first point of the season. The 26-year-old has added 16 shots on net, 15 hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 19 appearances while averaging 10:31 of ice time. Christiansen will be competing with the newly-signed Brendan Smith for ice time moving forward, which could see both defensemen end up in part-time roles.

NHL 2024-25 Season Preview: Metropolitan Division
September 23, 2024
It's time for Part 3 of Shawn Hutchinson's look around the NHL with a deep dive into the Metropolitan Division, including whether a younger team can shake things up.
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Christiansen impressed with AHL Cleveland last season, providing 13 goals and 46 points across 62 regular-season contests. He was limited to two assists in 12 games with Columbus, but he averaged just 13:13 of ice time in that span. The 24-year-old has the potential to secure a regular third-pairing spot with the Blue Jackets this season, and while he's not one of the more promising prospects out there, Christiansen might be able to exceed the 20-point mark under ideal circumstances. He also has the potential to be a decent source of hits and blocks, which adds a bit of versatility to his fantasy profile.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for season debut
DColumbus Blue Jackets
October 13, 2025
Christiansen is expected to make his 2025-26 season debut against the Devils on Monday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Christiansen will get into his first game this season due to the upper-body injury to veteran Erik Gudbranson. Last year, the 26-year-old Christiansen saw action in 68 regular-season games for the Jackets in which he garnered one goal on 58 shots, seven assists and 50 hits. Looking ahead to the rest of 2025-26, Christiansen and Gudbranson will likely continue to battle for a spot on the third defense pairing.
