Johansen signed a professional tryout agreement with Nashville on Wednesday, Emma Lingan of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johansen has just nine games of NHL experience, making him a long shot to earn a full contract coming out of training camp. Still, the 26-year-old blueliner could play his way into a two-way contract with a strong showing during the preseason. Even if that does happen, Johansen figures to play the majority of his games in the minors with AHL Milwaukee.

Johansen was assigned to AHL Hershey on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Johansen will get an opportunity to play for the Bears in the AHL postseason after suiting up in two playoff contests during Washington's first-round exit versus the Rangers. The 26-year-old blueliner had two goals and 12 points in 22 AHL outings during the 2023-24 regular season.

Johansen was called up from AHL Hershey on Monday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johansen has one assist, four shots on goal and seven blocked shots in six NHL outings this season. He will probably replace Rasmus Sandin (upper body) in Tuesday's lineup versus Detroit.

Johansen was placed on wavers on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Rogers Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the Capitals strongly linked to signing unrestricted free agent Ethan Bear, it seemed likely that Johansen would be sent down to the minors to create a roster spot. Johansen has not played since Nov. 18. The 26-year-old has one assist and seven blocked shots in six games this season and will report to AHL Hershey unless another club puts in a waiver claim.

Johansen supplied an assist and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-2 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Johansen has appeared in just six NHL contests since the Capitals selected him with the 28th overall pick in 2016 NHL Entry Draft. Still, he is making a strong case for himself to remain in the lineup between his high draft stock and his latest strong performance. It also doesn't hurt that defenseman Martin Fehervary suffered a lower-body injury Friday.

Johansen was reassigned to AHL Hershey on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old's demotion likely means that Martin Fehervary (upper body) will be ready to return Saturday against Montreal. Johansen has appeared in two NHL games this season but failed to record a point.

Johansen was summoned from AHL Hershey on Tuesday, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johansen provides added insurance with John Carlson (face) likely out and Martin Fehervary (upper body) still on the mend. The 24-year-old Johansen has recorded three shots and no points in two games this season.

Johansen was reassigned to AHL Hershey after Monday's game against Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Johansen has been a healthy four the last four games since logging 13:32 of ice time against Winnipeg on Dec. 11. The 25-year-old could be back with the team before Thursday's game in Ottawa but he would likely be scratched again.

Johansen was recalled from AHL Hershey on Thursday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Johansen is up on an emergency recall. He served as a healthy scratch for Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Stars. With Martin Fehervary (upper body) returning to practice Thursday, Johansen's time with the big club may not last much longer.

Johansen was reassigned to AHL Hershey on Wednesday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Johansen played in one of the two games the Capitals had while he was on the NHL roster. The 25-year-old's return to the minors suggests Alexander Alexeyev (upper body) or Martin Fehervary (upper body) may be nearing a return.
