Johansson scored a power-play goal and added an assist in Monday's 5-4 loss to Colorado. He finished with three shots.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson drew the secondary assist on Ryan Hartman's first-period goal that opened the scoring, then he struck with the man advantage midway through the third, banking a shot off a Colorado defenseman from below the goal line. The 30-year-old Johansson, in his first season with the Wild, has five goals and three assists in 19 games.

Johansson scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson opened the scoring at 12:41 of the first period, and he added a secondary helper on Kevin Fiala's third-period equalizer. It's been a rough year for Johansson, who has been limited to six points in 15 appearances after missing a month to an upper-body injury. The Swede doesn't contribute much outside of scoring, but he's show decent chemistry on a line with Fiala and Ryan Hartman in recent games.

Johansson scored a goal on his only shot in Thursday's 2-0 win over St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson received a perfect cross-ice feed from Kevin Fiala and buried it to break a scoreless deadlock 5:46 into the second period. It was Johansson's first point in three contests since returning from an upper body injury that had kept him out of the lineup for 16 games. The 30-year-old center, in his first season with the Wild, has three goals and an assist through 14 games in 2020-21.

Johansson (upper body) had one shot and one hit in Monday's 2-1 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson had missed 16 consecutive games and was entrusted with just under 14 minutes of ice time in his return. The veteran center didn't register a point Monday but did see some time on the penalty kill. Johansson, in his first season with the Wild, has two goals and an assist through 12 games. He was a 30-point scorer (60 games) for Buffalo in 2019-20.

Johansson (upper body) will be activated from injured reserve for Monday's game versus the Ducks, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson will return to the lineup after missing the last 16 games. The 30-year-old skated with Joel Eriksson Ek and Jordan Greenway during Sunday's morning skate, and he's expected to stay in that role Monday. The Swedish winger has put up two goals and an assist through 11 appearances this year.

Johansson (upper body) practiced fully Sunday and could play in Monday's game versus the Ducks, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson skated on the third line with Jordan Greenway during Sunday's practice, so he's trending toward a return. The 30-year-old will need to be activated from injured reserve before drawing into the lineup. He recorded two goals and an assist across 11 games before this injury.

Johansson (upper body) continues to skate, but he won't be available for Tuesday night's game against Arizona, Jessi Pierce of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson will miss a 14th consecutive contest Tuesday, and the Wild have yet to make a decision on whether he'll make the trip to Colorado for Minnesota's upcoming two-game set versus the Avalanche. The veteran forward will need to be activated off injured reserve before rejoining the lineup, so look for that announcement to precede his return to action.

Johansson (upper body) won't be activated from injured reserve for Sunday's game versus the Coyotes, Jessi Pierce of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson has been skating for nearly a week, but the Wild aren't going to rush him back. Nevertheless, there's a good chance that he returns for Tuesday's matchup against the Coyotes if he can avoid a setback. The Swedish winger averaged 15:44 of ice time before this injury, and he provided two goals and an assist across 11 contests.

Johansson (upper body) skated on his own Monday, Jessi Pierce of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson is closing in on a return, but he'll miss a 10th straight game when he sits out Monday's matchup versus the Golden Knights. The 30-year-old's next step will be to join the team for practice. Once he gains clearance, Johansson likely will draw into the bottom six.

Johansson (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson was considered close to returning last Wednesday against the Avalanche, but he ended up missing that game, as well as the Wild's three following contests, so it's safe to assume he suffered some sort of setback with his upper-body issue. The 30-year-old winger isn't on Minnesota's current road trip, so he's on track to miss the team's next three games at a minimum.
