Johnson collected two assists and four shots to go with a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 9-4 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

The two helpers were Johnson's first of the season and his first points since he score his lone goal back on Oct. 14. His plus-3 rating was also a season-best. The 31-year-old is coming off consecutive 25-point seasons, including a combined 16 goals, but needs to shake off his slow start before he can help you out.

Johnson has one goal and no assists with a minus-5 rating and six PIM in 14 games this season.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran defenseman started the scoring in a victory against the Capitals 10 days ago, but that's his only point of the season, and since then, he owns a minus-2 rating in four contests. Johnson is known for his all-around value in several categories as opposed his scoring, but his lone goal in nine contests is a far cry from his seven goals and 25 points from last season.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson hasn't played in a preseason game yet due to offseason shoulder surgery, but he'll suit up for this contest to knock off any rust before Opening Night's contest versus the Flames on Oct. 3.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson played much of last season with this nagging shoulder issue before finally having surgery in the offseason. While the defender was clear that he wasn't 100 percent at the moment, he fully intends to be ready to go for the start of the 2019-20 campaign. The departure of Tyson Barrie will put even more pressure on Johnson to produce in the offensive zone and could see him top the 30-point mark for the first time since 2013-14.

Johnson underwent offseason shoulder surgery and may not be ready for the start of camp, Mike Chambers of the Denver Post reports.
