Tyler Johnson's play while Steve Stamkos has been out of the lineup has really impressed the Lightning coaching staff. The rookie pivot really stepped up his game. As a result, Johnson was rewarded with extra playing time. He leads all rookie forwards in ice time averaging 18:30 and has 31 points, good for second amongst rookie scorers. It will be interesting to see what happens to Johnson once Stamkos returns from injury. He is likely going to move down to the third line as Stamkos and Valeri Filpulla are ahead of him on the center depth chart. That will no doubt hurt his fantasy value going forward. That said, Johnson has a bright future in the NHL.
