Johansson was forced to leave Thursday's opening night win against the Panthers, but head coach Dean Evason said that he cleared all the necessary tests and participated in Friday's practice. Expect Johansson to remain on a line with Joel Eriksson Ek and Matt Boldy on Saturday.
Johansson left Thursday's win over the Panthers after getting clipped by an elbow by Uvis Balinskis. Post-game, the Wild did not have an update on Johansson's status and said that he'll be re-evaluated on Friday. If Johansson isn't available on Saturday, expect them to dress seven defensemen because they don't have a reserve forward on the roster and no cap space to bring one up (without having to waive Dakota Mermis).
Johansson suffered an injury vs. the Jets last Tuesday and missed Thursday's season finale in Nashville. Over the weekend, he was back on the ice, skating on a line with Frederick Gaudreau and Matt Boldy. The veteran winger has been great since joining the Wild, picking up 18 points (6G / 12A) in 20 games.
Johansson was the subject of a slashing play involving Winnipeg's Neal Pionk which resulted in a $5,000 fine and will now be forced to miss Thursday's game as he deals with an upper-body injury. The 32-year-old closes out another productive season, as it ends with 19 goals, 27 assists, 137 SOG, eight PIMs and a +3 plus/minus through 80 games played between Minnesota and Washington.
Johansson had 13 goals, 15 assists, 95 SOG, eight PIMs and a -3 plus/minus through 60 games with the Washington Capitals and has been dealt to Minnesota for a third-round pick Tuesday.
Johansson broke into the NHL with the Capitals in 2011 and played with them until 2017. He returned to the team at the trade deadline last season, posting six points (3G / 3A) in 18 games. The 31-year-old will likely serve as a third-liner for them in 2022-23 but he's capable of playing in the top-6 if needed.
Johansson suffered a lower-body injury in the Kraken's season opener and was placed on IR on Wednesday. Johansson had no points and one shot in 16:13 TOI. Kole Lind was recalled from Charlotte (AHL) to take Johansson's spot on the roster.
Johansson was placed in COVID-19 protocol on Monday but has been cleared to play in the first game in franchise history. It is difficult to project who Johansson will skate with, but with Calle Jarnkrok, Joonas Donskoi and Jared McCann all out, you have to assume he will play a prominent role.
