Johnson (lower body) participated in contact battle drills with assistant coach Brad Lauer on Saturday, Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson had an extended workout with Steven Stamkos (knee) after Saturday's morning skate. He appears to be inching closer to returning to game action for the first time since March 9. The Lightning certainly could use the firepower as they struggle to qualify for a playoff spot. When Johnson returns it likely means Greg McKegg is back in the press box as a healthy scratch.
