Marcus Johansson News

Sedin has been playing through a rib injury for much of the last month and was visibly in pain on the ice, prompting the Canucks to sit him out of their last two games before the break. It will be Johansson’s first Olympic appearance. is in his fourth NHL season and is steadily adding to his offensive totals again this year. In 58 games for the Capitals, Johansson has seven goals and 29 assists. His addition is the second injury replacement in a week that Sweden, favored to be medal contenders in Sochi, has needed to make for ailing veterans.

Johansson, 22, had six goals and 16 assists in 34 games last season. He had two points in seven Stanley Cup Playoff games. His best stretch of the season came in the second half, when he had 20 points in his last 22 games of the regular season. Much of that time was spent on Washington's top line alongside Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom.

We will keep you posted on any updates.

Johansson (upper-body) has been in-and-out of the Capitals lineup all season. He only has one goal and a minus--7 in nine games.

He was a healthy scratch in the Capitals last game vs. the Panthers so it is unknown how the injury happened but his day-to-day tag would indicate that the injury isn't serious. MJ90 has had a hard time staying in the Capitals lineup this year which has destroyed whatever fantasy value he had.

MJ90 isn't fantasy relevant until he gets back into the Capitals lineup and proves he can stay there.

Johansson has 0 points and is a -5 in 4 games this season, which could be the reason for the drop from the first line to healthy scratch in one week.

Johansson has a chance to have a good season. If Johansson can stick with Oveckin and Backstrom he could be a good addition to your fantasy team.

Johansson gets another crack at the top line. In his third season, MJ hopes to improve on the 46 points in 80 games he earned last season.

Johansson moves from the top line to the third.

Johansson moves back up to the top line. He has 13 goals and 42 points in 75 games.

Johansson moves between Semin and Chimera. He has 11 goals and 31 points in 56 games.

Johansson takes a bump down to the third line. He has 11 goals and 31 points in 55 games.

Sounds like Johansson is healthy enough to play tomorrow. The sophomore has already matched his point totals of his rookie season as he establishes himself as a solid secondary offensive weapon.

Johansson will not play today, replaced by Mathieu Perreault. Not sure if this scratch is injury related as he did take a maintenance day earlier in the year. The sophomore has 10 goals and 27 points through 45 games.

The substitute first liner appears to be OK following the third period collision. He has nine goals and 26 points through 43 games this year.

Johansson moves up to the top line center position. Through 40 games, the sophomore pivot has nine goals and 24 points. He's scored five points in five games as he tried to fill the void left by concussed center Nicklas Backstrom.

Johansson is expected to center the second line tonight. He has seven goals and 22 points over 37 games.

Johansson moves up to the top line and could start tomorrow's game there. The sophomore has six goals and 16 points over 30 games but has just three assists this month.

Johansson likely won't miss any playing time after taking a shot to the hand. Expect him to get back onto the second line shortly.
