NHL Hits Leaders: Columbus Blue Jackets
2018-19All situationsThrough 84 team games
This board ranks every NHL skater by total hits this season, regular season only.
Hits are body checks credited by the off-ice scorer. Physical third-liners and stay-at-home defensemen lead the league, often while their team spends long stretches without the puck. Hits are a category in most banger leagues, and the leaders are often cheap depth players. Recording varies by arena, so compare players across the league rather than reading too much into one building.
Leader for the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2018-19: Josh Anderson (CBJ), 214 HIT.
- Legacy recording: before 2024-25 turnovers and hits were recorded arena by arena with large scorer bias. Compare players within this season only.

How to read it
Total hits this season, all situations.
How reliable is it?
Totals reward games and ice time. Hit counts also depend on the arena's scorer, so a home-heavy schedule can inflate them.
