Cam Atkinson has become one of the all-time best Columbus Blue Jackets, simply through hard work and continuous growth as a player. Last night against the Vegas Golden Knights, Atkinson passed the 30 goal mark for the second time in his career with over 25 games left in the season. It’s almost guaranteed he’ll set a career high this season, assuming he stays healthy.
Atkinson was drafted by the Blue Jackets in sixth round of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft and his loyalty to the team never seemed to waiver at all through that time.
