Johansson registered a goal and added three shots during Saturday's 6-3 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
The goal is Johansson's first since Feb. 17 when he was still a member of the Kraken and is his first point in seven games since rejoining the Capitals at the trade deadline. The 31-year-old got a chance at the top line upon his return to DC but now occupies a spot on the third line and could have trouble generating offense (and consistent fantasy value) as long as he's relegated to more of a depth role.

Johansson was traded to the Capitals from the Kraken on Monday, with Daniel Sprong, a 2022 fourth-round pick and 2023 sixth-round pick headed the other way, Sportsnet's Chris Johnston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson is back with Washington after being traded to the Devils back in July of 2017. During his seven-year stint with the Caps, the winger recorded 102 goals, 188 assists and 738 shots in 501 contests. With Washington, Johansson could be in line to step into a second-line role alongside Nicklas Backstrom, at least until T.J. Oshie (lower body) is cleared to return.

Johansson picked up two assists in regulation and scored the deciding goal in the seventh shootout round in a 4-3 victory over Montreal on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson's first assist, which came on Ryan Donato's goal, was his 400th NHL point. His 401 points (141 goals, 260 assists) have come in 733 games for six teams -- Caps, Devils, Bruins, Sabres, Wild and Kraken. Johannson's shootout winner was a nice backhand over Sam Montembeault's glove for the only snipe on the tiebreaker.

Johansson logged an assist and fired two shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson has faded on offense a bit lately -- he's picked up four assists and 16 shots during a nine-game goal drought. The 31-year-old gas 21 points, 77 shots on net and a minus-21 rating through 47 outings. He'll continue to see power-play time, which makes him a solid scoring-only option in deeper fantasy formats.

Johansson logged an assist in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson set up the Kraken's first goal scored by Alexander Wennberg in the second period. The 31-year-old Johansson has earned a goal and four assists in his last eight games. For the season, the Swede's at 20 points, 72 shots on net and a minus-22 rating in 44 contests. He played on the third line Wednesday, but the Kraken have rarely used the same forward trios for more than a handful of games at a time, so he could be back in the top six soon.

Johansson produced an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson set up Jordan Eberle for a backhand goal in the second period. The 31-year-old Johansson has a goal and three assists in his last five outings. The Swede is up to 19 points, 68 shots and a minus-23 rating in 42 contests overall -- if fantasy managers can stomach the poor plus-minus and lack of physicality, he's been a solid depth forward for much of the last two months.
