Johansson has been battling injuries all season-long, only appearing in 15 of the Devils’ first 33 games. Most recently he has missed the last four games with an ankle injury but will draw back in tonight. Johansson has four goals and three assists (seven points).
Johansson left Saturday’s game in New York after blocking a shot and will come out of the lineup tonight vs. the Kings. With Johansson out, Drew Stafford is expected to draw back in up front.
Johansson has missed exactly one month with a concussion, but will return to the lineup tonight in Colorado. Johansson, who had three goals and two assists (five points) in 10 games this season will skate on the Devils’ second line with Travis Zajac and Pavel Zacha.
Johansson has been out since November 1st and will not play Monday vs. the Panthers, but it looks like he can return on their upcoming road trip. Johansson has five points (3G / 2A) in 10 games this season.
Johansson left Wednesday’s game after crashing face-first into the board in Vancouver. He will be held out for a suspected concussion and is questionable for Sunday’s game in Calgary.
Johansson returned to the lineup on Wednesday after missing one game with a lower-body injury and he did not last long. Johansson crashed face-first into the end boards during his first shift of the game, but was able to leave the ice under his own power after being attended to by the medical staff. Head coach John Hynes said Johansson will be re-evaluated on Thursday.
Johansson, 25, has settled in nicely with the Capitals since they drafted him 24th overall in 2009. He had 46 points (17G / 29A) in 74 games last year, continuing his consistent mid-40’s point production. At just 25, there is room for him to grow into a mid-50’s player, especially in an explosive Capitals’ offence. Draft him as the player he has been with room for upside.
Johansson did not participate in the Capitals’ morning skate because of an illness, but head coach Barry Trotz expects Joahnsson to play on Monday. Monitor Johansson’s status during the pregame warmups, but expect Stanislav Galiev to play if Johansson can’t.
Johansson suffered an upper-body injury in last Wednesday’s loss to the Flyers. He missed Mnoday’s practice and is not expected to be in the lineup on Tuesday. With Johansson listed as doubtful, the Capitals have recalled Zach Sill from Hershey (AHL).
Johansson sat out the Capitals weekend back-to-back because of a suspension, but he is set to return on Thursday. Johansson, who had 26 points (10G / 16A) in 39 games this season, is expected to skate on the third line between Jason Chimera and Tom Wilson.
Johansson will miss the Capitals back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday, but is eligible to return next Thursday vs. the Canucks. With Johansson out, the Capitals are expected to recall a forward.
Johansson was a late scratch on Saturday, but was on the ice for Tuesday’s morning skate and will play against the Red Wings. Johansson’s return means that Stanislav Galiev will be a healthy scratch and Andre Burakovsky will move to the fourth line. Johansson has 13 points (5G / 8A) in 24 games this season.
