Line Change
Don't be shocked Johnson starts tomorrow. Told me today he may dress tomorrow.
Johnson could get his first start since February 19th tomorrow.
Looks as if Brad Thiessen being used as 3rd goalie at #Penguins practice, so MA Fleury OK, and Brent Johnson could be close.
Johnson returning would help solidify the Pens between the pipes. While rookie Brad Thiessen has performed admirably, he will return to the AHL shortly.
Brent Johnson first on the ice for #Penguins practice. He had been skating separately this week.
Good news for Johnson. He still has no timetable as the Pens refuse to disclose his injury.
Johnson skated for 2nd day before practice -SK

#Pens coach Bylsma: Johnson skated today for first time in rehab
Progress for Johnson, who might be lost for the rest of the regular season. No real reason to own the veteran at this point.
Only one missing is G Brent Johnson.
Doesn't seem like Johnson is an option to backup this week. Expect Brad Thiessen to remain with the team until he is fully healthy.
Pens are on the ice for practice. The only players missing are defenseman Paul Martin (illness) and goalie Brent Johnson (undisclosed).
Sounds like Johnson will need at least another week before being available to backup. After practicing earlier in the week he was held off the ice yet again.
Johnson still in "rehab mode."

Brent Johnson is first player on ice for Pgh practice. Brad Thiessen a close second.
Johnson getting back on the ice is the first step towards recovery. Interesting to see what the Pens do with their newly-formed three-headed monster.
#Pens coach Bylsma: Johnson not long-term. He's rehabbing -SK
Johnson hasn't returned to practice so don't expect him to start this weekend. By that same token, his value really can't be lower.
Injured goalie Brent Johnson only player missing at #Penguins morning skate in Dallas.
Johnson remains day-to-day meaning Brad Thiessen should remain the backup for the time being. His absence from practice should be telling.
#Pens coach Bylsma: Johnson is day-to-day at this point -SK
Expect Brad Thiessen to remain the backup for the time being.
More Bylsma on Johnson: "He tweaked it and Brad was called up on an emergency basis."
Johnson is not expected to miss a significant amount of playing time so expect him to play within the next week or two.
#Pens coach Bylsma: Johnson tweaked something yest & is day-to-day -SK
Sounds like the Pens are hoping some rest is enough to get Johnson back in a backup capacity. If he can't suit up, look for the club to make a roster move.
No Brent Johnson at #pens practice.
Johnson was supposed to be recovered from the flu so his absence is unexpected. Stay tuned for a further update on his status.
#Pens coach Bylsma: Jonhson back, we'll see how he feels -SK
Johnson should be able to at least backup Marc-Andre Fleury moving forward.
Brent Johnson ill
The Pens will carry three goalies for a few games due to this illness.
