The Blue Jackets sent Johnson to AHL Cleveland on Wednesday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old, who's never made an NHL appearance, rejoins the Monsters two days after being added to the Blue Jackets' taxi squad. It would likely take multiple injuries or COVID-19 infections on the NHL roster for Johnson to get a call-up this season.

Johnson was promoted to the taxi squad Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was called up as an emergency option. If none of the three currently rostered Columbus goalies are cleared to play, the 27-year-old will be in line to make his first NHL appearance of the 2021-22 season. The Michigan-born goaltender has posted an 11-15-3 record with a 3.79 GAA and a .872 save percentage with AHL Binghampton this season.

Johnson was waived by Columbus on Thursday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson signed a one-year deal back in July with the team. The 27-year-old spent some time on the taxi squad last season, but ultimately did not play in an NHL game.

Johnson signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Blue Jackets on Thursday, per PuckPedia.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old goalie spent some time on the taxi squad last season, but he did not appear in an NHL game. He had a 1.77 GAA and a .941 save percentage with the Florida Everblades of the ECHL. Johnson is unlikely to get a chance at the NHL level in 2021-22, but he could compete for playing time with AHL Cleveland.

Johnson was reassigned to Columbus' taxi squad Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson's demotion suggests Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) may be ready to return Thursday against Tampa Bay. The 26-year-old Johnson has yet to see NHL action this season.

Johnson was promoted to the active roster Tuesday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

EDGE Analysis

Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) remains out, so Johnson will serve as Elvis Merzlikins' backup in Tuesday's game versus the Lightning. Johnson has yet to make his NHL debut. The 26-year-old played seven games in the ECHL before joining the big club, putting up a .941 save percentage and a 1.77 GAA.

Johnson was reassigned to the taxi squad Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson's demotion to the taxi squad could be an indication Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) will be ready to serve as at least the backup against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, though Johnson could still be moved back to the active roster if necessary.

Johnson was promoted to the active roster Saturday, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) has been ruled out for Saturday's game versus the Red Wings, so Johnson will serve as Elvis Merzlikins' backup. Johnson has yet to make his NHL debut. In fact, he's played exclusively in the ECHL over the last two seasons, registering a .941 save percentage over seven games this year.

Johnson was reassigned to the taxi squad Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson's demotion could just be a procedural move with the Jackets off until Thursday's clash with Chicago, though it could also be an indication either Matiss Kivlenieks (lower body) or Elvis Merzlikins (upper body) is ready to at least serve as the No. 2 behind Joonas Korpisalo.

Johnson was recalled from AHL Cleveland on an emergency basis Sunday, Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Elvis Merzlikins (upper body) on injured reserve and Matiss Kivlenieks (lower body) out for Sunday's game, Johnson will back up Joonas Korpisalo in Sunday's matchup against the Hurricanes. The Blue Jackets play against the Canes again Monday, but they may roll with Korpisalo again instead of Johnson, who spent the last two seasons in the ECHL.
