Johansson scored a power-play goal on three shots and added an assist in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson was the first Kraken player to score against his previous team, although that measure of revenge likely rings hollow given the result of the contest. The Swede is up to three points, eight shots on net and a minus-3 rating in four contests. He could provide a spark to the Kraken's top six going forward, but Johansson has typically been more of a secondary scorer than a true star.

Johansson (lower body) logged an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
There was no easing Johansson back into the lineup -- he saw 20:15 of ice time, ranking this among Kraken forwards. The Swede had been out since suffering the injury in the season opener against the Golden Knights. Now that he's healthy, expect Johansson to see at least middle-six minutes and a role on the power play, making him a solid speculative add in deeper fantasy formats.

Johansson is over his lower-body injury and will play Tuesday in Vegas, Marisa Ingemi of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Due to injury and COVID-19 protocols, Johansson hasn't played since the season opener back on Oct. 12 (also against Vegas). He'll slot back into the bottom six and look for his first point as a member of the Kraken.

Johansson (lower body) is nearing a return from injured reserve and is now considered day-to-day, Marisa Ingemi of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson hasn't played since Seattle's inaugural game on Oct. 12 after suffering a lower-body injury. There's at least a chance he'll suit up Tuesday in Vegas but it's unclear if he'll be ready yet. Once healthy, the 31-year-old winger should return to a middle-six role.

Johansson (lower body) has been placed on injured reserve and is considered out indefinitely, Marisa Ingemi of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Johansson set to miss extended time, Kole Lind and Alex Barre-Boulet should both see extra usage for the foreseeable future. Another update on Johansson, who picked up 14 points in 36 games with Minnesota last season, should surface once he's cleared to return to practice.

Johansson (COVID-19 protocols) will be in the lineup against Vegas on Tuesday after clearing the league's protocols, Ryan S. Clark of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson figures to immediately slot into a top-six role in Tuesday's clash in addition to seeing time with the man advantage. In his 36 games last year, the 31-year-old winger garnered six goals and eight assists while averaging 15:56 of ice time.

Johansson (arm) was on the ice during the Kraken's second practice session Thursday, Ryan S. Clark of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson required surgery on a broken arm suffered in the postseason when he was with the Wild last year. The 30-year-old had 14 points in 36 games last year, although he's usually reliable for about 0.5 points per game. The Swede should compete for a top-six role with the Kraken.

Johansson (arm) inked a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Kraken on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson was putting together a decent season prior to suffering a broken arm, as he managed six goals and eight helpers in 36 games for the Wild. The 30-year-old winger will be playing for his sixth NHL franchise over the course of his 11-year career. With his new club, Johansson should push for a top-six role and should see plenty of minutes with the man advantage.

Johansson will undergo surgery on his broken left arm Friday, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's safe to assume Johansson will miss the rest of the postseason, but the Wild have yet to announce whether they believe the 30-year-old winger is in danger of missing time at the start of the 2021-22. campaign. Johansson will finish the season having picked up 14 points through 36 contests.
