Ryan Johansen has declared himself fit to play.

The Columbus Blue Jackets center has recovered from the undisclosed illness that kept him off the ice since Oct. 22, and says he's ready to face the Washington Capitals on Friday.

Johansen was sent back to Columbus during the club's recent road trip, and underwent a slew of tests to discover why his energy levels were down.

The 23-year-old recorded a goal and five assists for a Blue Jackets team that has won two straight following an 0-8-0 start.
