Johansson (lower body) is playing in Thursday's home matchup against the Red Wings, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Johansson was sidelined for Minnesota's last three contests but is ready to go after being labeled a game-time decision earlier Thursday. The veteran winger will skate on the second line alongside Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) and Vladimir Tarasenko on Thursday. Ben Jones and Hunter Haight are healthy scratches against Detroit as a result of Johansson and Eriksson Ek being back in the lineup.

Johansson (lower body) will be a game-time decision ahead of Thursday's clash with Detroit, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johansson could return following a three-game stint on the shelf due to his lower-body issue. Prior to his absence, the 35-year-old winger appeared to be breaking out of a funk, having generated a point in each of his last two outings after he was held off the scoresheet in his previous six appearances. If Johansson plays Thursday, he could fill a top-six role and bounce Yakov Trenin down the lineup.

Johansson (lower body) isn't with the team on its three-game road trip, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Johansson has 13 goals and 34 points in 46 games this season. He will miss Saturday's game in Buffalo, as well as Monday's matchup in Toronto and Tuesday's contest at Montreal. With Johansson joining, Matt Boldy (undisclosed) and Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) on the shelf, Minnesota's entire second line is unavailable due to injuries.

Johansson scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Johansson has a goal and an assist over his last two games. He had gone six contests without a point after a one-goal, three-helper effort in Vegas on Dec. 29. The 35-year-old winger has been a big part of the Wild's success on offense this season, earning 13 goals and 34 points in 46 appearances, matching his point total from 72 regular-season outings a year ago.

Johansson scored a goal on three shots, added three assists and went plus-4 in Monday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Johansson's line with Joel Eriksson Ek and Matt Boldy combined for three goals and five assists. It was Johansson who set the early tone with a goal 26 seconds into the game before distributing three helpers to match his career high for points in a single contest. He's earned four goals and eight assists across his last nine outings as he continues to put together a remarkable age-35 campaign. For the season, he has 12 goals, 20 helpers, 58 shots on net and a plus-21 rating through 38 appearances.

Johansson notched an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Johansson helped out on Nico Sturm's empty-net tally to close out the scoring. The 35-year-old Johansson has three goals and four assists over his last five games, a stretch that was interrupted by a lower-body injury which cost him two contests. He's now at 27 points, 51 shots on net and a plus-17 rating through 34 outings this season and remains on track for his best year since 2016-17.

Johansson (lower body) is slated to play against Edmonton on Saturday, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Johansson missed the past two games because of the injury. He has 11 goals and 26 points across 33 appearances in the 2025-26 campaign. In his return against the Oilers, Johansson will occupy a top-six role and should see time on the power play.

Johansson (lower body) is considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Oilers, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johansson has missed the last two games due to his lower-body injury, but he could return to action before the holiday break. He was riding a four-game point streak prior to his absence, recording three goals, three assists, three hits, a blocked shot and a plus-7 rating while averaging 15:17 of ice time.

Johansson (lower body) is not expected to travel to Columbus for Thursday's game, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

This essentially guarantees the forward will miss a second straight game. Johansson's next chance to play is Saturday at home versus the Oilers, the first of a stretch of three games in four days prior to the holiday break.

Johansson (lower body) won't be an option against the Capitals on Tuesday and is day-to-day, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

While Johansson will not be available Tuesday, the Wild are scheduled to get Marcus Foligno (lower body) back in the lineup. Yakov Trenin is expected to move into the top six due to Johansson's absence. The 35-year-old winger's next chance to suit up will be in Columbus on Thursday.
