Blue Jackets Extend Williams | Columbus Blue Jackets News

The Columbus Blue Jackets are locking in their promising young defenseman Jack Williams with a two-year contract extension, keeping him through the 2027-28 season on a two-way deal. Just 24, Williams made his NHL debut in April 2025 and exploded in his first full pro season with the Monsters, tallying 38 points (15G, 23A) and leading rookies in game-winners. Praised by team president Don Waddell for his skating, defense, and energy, Williams also brings elite pedigree — a Hobey Baker nominee and Northeastern captain — proving the Jackets are betting big on his future as they build for the long term.
