Jonas Johansson News

Linus Ullmark (lower body) exited Ottawa's previous game in the third period and will miss at least one week, resulting in the team recalling Johansson from Belleville (AHL). The 31-year-old Johansson has never thrived at the NHL level, but he has plenty of experience, posting a 3.29 GAA and .889 SV% in 105 career appearances (43-36-14).

Linus Ullmark (undisclosed) exited Ottawa's previous game in the third period, resulting in Johansson being recalled from Belleville (AHL).

Johansson has only played once in the past two weeks and likely will not tend the twine again, as Tampa Bay will rely exclusively on Andrei Vasilevskiy in the postseason. Brandon Halverson has been recalled from Syracuse (AHL) to serve as Vasilevskiy's backup in Tampa Bay's final game of the season.

Johansson is not fit enough to serve as Andrei Vasilevskiy's back-up on Monday, as that honour will go to emergency back-up goalie Kyle Konin. The Lightning did not specify what exactly is ailing Johansson, only stating that he is considered day-to-day with the undisclosed injury.

The Lightning are on the tail-end of a back-to-back on Tuesday, so they will turn to Johansson between the pipes for their road matchup against the Senators. Johansson's last start came back on March 29th when he allowed just two goals on 31 shots in a 3-2 win over the Predators. The 30-year-old Johansson brings an 11-9-2 record and an .886 SV% into Tuesday night's matchup in Ottawa, where the Lightning enter action at +110 on the money line.

The Lightning are on the tail-end of a back-to-back on Thursday, so Andrei Vasilevskiy will get the night off in favour of Johansson. Johansson got shelled in his last start way back on January 24th, allowing six goals on 29 shots in an 8-5 loss in Columbus. The 30-year-old netminder brings a 10-7-1 record and an .890 SV% into Thursday night's matchup, where the Lightning enter action at +125 on the money line.

Jonas Johansson was absent from practice on Thursday, which was initially classified as "body maintenance," but may actually be something that could keep him out of the lineup, as indicated by the recalling of Brandon Halverson from the Syracuse Crunch (AHL). The 30-year-old Johansson has been serviceable in a supporting role this season, posting a 2.73 GAA and .896 SV% in 18 games (10-6-1).

Tampa Bay will enter the front end of a back-to-back with Johansson tending the twine against the Philadelphia Flyers. The 30-year-old Johansson has not played since New Year's Day, when he saved 17 of 20 shots (.850 SV%) in a 5-3 win over the Los Angeles Kings. He has a 2.83 GAA and .894 SV% in 17 games this season (9-6-1). The Lightning enter Monday's contest as -141 road favorites against a Flyers team that they pummeled in a 7-2 victory over the weekend.

Andrei Vasilevskiy will get the night off in favour of Jonas Johansson on Thursday as the Lightning play their second game in as many nights. Johansson secured the victory in his last start, allowing four goals on 35 shots in a 5-4 shootout win over the Habs on Sunday. The 30-year-old netminder boasts an 8-6-1 record and .896 SV% on the season. The Lightning enter action on Thursday at +100 on the money line.

Johansson had a heavy workload at the start of December while Andrei Vasilevskiy was injured, but he returns to the crease on Sunday for the first time in two weeks. The 30-year-old Johansson has been serviceable in a supporting role this season, posting a 2.76 GAA and .897 SV% in 15 appearances (7-6-1).

Andrei Vasilevskiy (undisclosed) was back at practice on Monday, seemingly nearing a return from injury, but Johansson will continue his reign of the Lightning crease during his absence. The 30-year-old Johansson has been reliable while starting six straight (2-3-1), posting a solid 2.25 GAA and .916 SV%. He has a 2.59 GAA and .904 SV% in 14 appearances (7-5-1) and is playing well above his career-average 3.30 GAA and .890 SV% from 80 games (32-26-12) heading into the season. Tampa Bay enters Monday's contest as -132 home favorites against a Florida Panthers team coming off a dominant 4-0 win over the Dallas Stars.
