Johansson signed a two-year, $2.5 million contract with the Lightning on Wednesday, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johansson was set to become an unrestricted free agent after completing his two-year, $1.55 million deal. He had a 9-6-3 record, 3.14 GAA and .895 save percentage across 19 regular-season appearances with Tampa Bay in 2024-25. The 29-year-old is expected to continue to serve as Andrei Vasilevskiy's understudy over the life of this new contract.

Johansson made 19 saves Thursday in a 4-0 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Johansson ended the year with 9-6-3 record, one shutout, 3.13 GAA and .895 save percentage. Barring a catastrophe, he won't see ice again this year. Something will have gone seriously off the rails for the Bolts and Andrei Vasilevskiy this postseason if Johansson is in the blue paint.

Johansson was the first netminder off the ice at morning skate and is slated to guard the visiting crease against the Rangers on Thursday, per Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun.

EDGE Analysis

Johansson is 3-0-2 in his last five starts, last picking up a regulation loss Jan. 28 against Chicago. Overall, he is 9-5-3 with a 3.08 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 18 appearances in 2024-25. The Rangers are registering 3.10 goals per game this season, which ranks 12th in the NHL.

Johansson stopped 21 of 25 shots in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Johansson had some trouble with a strong offense, but the Lightning gave him plenty of support. Johansson is 3-0-2 with 14 goals allowed over his last five contests, providing decent performances in the backup role behind Andrei Vasilevskiy. For the season, Johansson is at 9-5-3 with a 3.08 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 18 appearances. The Lightning have two games left in the regular season, and it's possible the 29-year-old will start one of them, though that's not yet confirmed.

Johansson is expected to patrol the home crease against Buffalo on Sunday after being the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johansson is coming off a 36-save effort in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Sabres on April 5, and he has posted a 2-0-2 record with a 2.40 GAA and a .928 save percentage in his last four outings. In 17 appearances this season, Johansson has gone 8-5-3 with one shutout, a 3.03 GAA and a .901 save percentage. Buffalo ranks eighth in the league with 3.24 goals per game in 2024-25.

Johansson stopped 36 of 38 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Johansson put in a good performance during regulation and overtime, aside from allowing goals to Tage Thompson and Jason Zucker. The shootout didn't go as well, as Johansson stopped just one of three Buffalo attempts, which stuck him with the loss. He's 2-0-2 with 10 goals allowed on 138 shots over his last four outings, which is solid work for a backup netminder. On the year, he's 8-5-3 with a 3.03 GAA and a .901 save percentage across 17 appearances. The Lightning secured their playoff spot Saturday but still have seeding to play for. It's possible Johansson will see more action over the final six games of the season to keep Andrei Vasilevskiy fresh for the playoffs.

Johansson will patrol the visiting crease in Buffalo on Saturday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johansson will get a rare start, only his fourth in the last 27 games, as Andrei Vasilevskiy has predictably had a heavy workload. Johansson is 8-5-2 with a 3.11 GAA and an .898 save percentage across 16 contests this season. The Sabres have won five of six games entering Saturday's meeting and rank eighth in the league with 3.26 goals per game in 2024-25.

Johansson made 35 saves in a 5-3 win over the Islanders on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

It was a tight contest, and Johansson shut the door with some big saves in the third period, especially on the 6-on-5 at the end of the game. He has appeared in three games in March, delivering a 2-0-1 record with eight goals allowed. It's tough for him to get into a groove when he plays sporadic minutes, but that could change down the stretch, depending on Tampa Bay's playoff positioning. The Bolts will do what they can to rest Vasilevskiy heading into the postseason, and that means Johansson could be front and center in the blue paint.

Johansson will patrol the home crease against the Islanders on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Contrary to a previous report, Johansson will get the nod instead of Andrei Vasilevskiy on Saturday. The 29-year-old Johansson has a 7-5-2 record with one shutout, a 3.12 GAA and an .896 save percentage through 15 appearances this season.

Johansson (personal) rejoined the Lightning on Tuesday, per Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.

EDGE Analysis

Brandon Halverson, who was called up from the minors due to the absence of Johansson, was one of three goaltenders who attended Tampa Bay's morning skate, so it's not clear if Johansson will draw into the lineup versus the Penguins on Tuesday, but Johansson should at least be an option now that he's back with the team. Johansson has a 7-5-2 record, 3.12 GAA and .896 save percentage in 15 outings in 2024-25.
