Johansson scored a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
The tally was his first in 2020, as Johansson had failed to find the back of the net in his last 14 games. The 29-year-old has seven goals and 24 points through 49 contests this season, and the Sabres just don't have enough firepower to make Johansson a viable fantasy option in most formats despite his top-six role.

Johansson (illness) will be back in the lineup against Detroit on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson will look to break out of his 14-game goal drought after missing Sunday's matchup with Anaheim due to illness. The Swede recorded just four helpers over that stretch and is struggling to produce like he was earlier in the year. If the winger doesn't pick up his game soon, he could be in danger of missing the 30-point mark for the second time in his last three seasons.

Johansson (illness) won't dress in Sunday's game against the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old has been solid for the Sabres, racking up 22 points in 48 games this campaign. The hope is that the illness won't keep Johansson out long term, but it's unclear how serious the ailment is. In his stead, the team will likely roll with 11 forwards and seven defensemen for Sunday's contest. Expect another update on Johansson's health ahead of Tuesday's game against Detroit.

Johansson has gone 11 games without scoring a goal.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson has just six goals through 45 contests. Given his role in Buffalo's top six, and his frequent usage on the top power-play unit, his goal total is a bit underwhelming. His shot frequency is also down, as he's posted just 64 shots. He does have 16 assists though, which is one shy of the 17 he posted in 58 games last year.

Johansson picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
He set up Conor Sheary with a slick pass across the net for the Sabres' second goal early in the second period, then had a hand in Sam Reinhart's eventual game-winner about four minutes later. Johansson has put together a four-game point streak, compiling a goal and five assists during that stretch, and with Victor Olofsson (lower body) on the sidelines, the 29-year-old could see increased duties with the man advantage over the next month or so, making him an intriguing add even in shallower fantasy formats despite his relatively modest 21 points (six goals, 15 helpers) in 36 games.

Johansson finished with two points in a 6-4 loss to the Lightning on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The goal was Johansson's first since Dec. 7. He's collected assists in back-to-back games. With 18 points through 34 games, Johansson offers modest value in all fantasy formats but is not what you'd call a top-tier option. He's logging more ice time than ever before in his career and also playing on Buffalo's first power-play unit, so the potential for points is undeniable.

Johansson picked up an assist during Sunday's loss to Boston.
EDGE Analysis
The apple snapped a three-game point drought, and brings Johansson up to 16 points through 33 contests. He's cooled off as of late, posting just one goal and five assists in 16 games since returning from an upper-body injury.

Johansson posted a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson entered the contest with no points in his last four games, and nearly made it five before supplying an assist on Jack Eichel's third-period tally. Johansson has 11 points and 22 shots on goal through 22 appearances this season. The 29-year-old hasn't topped 40 points since leaving the Capitals after 2016-17, as injuries have limited his effectiveness in three straight campaigns.

Johansson (upper body) will rejoin the lineup for Wednesday's clash with Calgary, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson is expected to return to a prominent role following a seven-game absence, skating on Buffalo's second line and second power-play unit against the Flames. The 29-year-old Swede has notched four goals and 10 points in 17 games this campaign.

Johansson (upper body) won't play in the next two games against Florida and Tampa Bay, respectively, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson has already missed the past five games with the issue, and he will at least be out the next two contests. His next chance to suit up will be Wednesday against Calgary, and in his stead, the team will roll with seven defensemen and 11 forwards Sunday. Johansson still resides on injured reserve, so he'll need to be activated before he's cleared to return to game action.
