Johansson (upper body) wasn't on the ice for practice Friday, suggesting he won't suit up later in the day against the Kings, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson is apparently close to returning for his first action since Feb. 18, but he won't be doing so Friday. The 30-year-old Swede won't need to wait long for his next opportunity to see game ice, as the Wild and Kings will face off again Saturday.

Johansson (upper body) won't play Wednesday against the Avalanche, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per coach Dean Evason, the team is keeping Johansson out of the lineup to get him fully healthy, but it sounds like the Swedish forward is nearing a return. When Johansson comes back -- which could be as soon as Friday against the Kings -- he'll look to bounce back from a disappointing start that saw him total only three points through 11 games.

Johansson missed the team's road trip due to unspecified reasons, but the virus could be the cause for his absence. The Swede will need to be cleared from the list before he's allowed to travel and practice with the team again. The 30-year-old has supplied two goals and an assist through nine games this campaign.
