Johansson (concussion) practiced Monday and is on track to return to the lineup against Boston on Tuesday, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson occupied a middle-six role and worked on the second power-play unit in Monday's session. He could return to action in those spots after missing the last eight games. In Tuesday's lineup, Johansson could replace Ryan Hartman, who will likely receive a suspension following his in-person hearing Monday. The 34-year-old Johansson has five goals, 16 points and 68 shots on net across 44 appearances this season.

Johansson (concussion) will not be on the Wild's four-game road trip, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
At this point, Johansson likely faces an uphill battle to get back into the lineup ahead of the 4 Nations Face-Off. With Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) headed for surgery, Minnesota finds itself without two top-six forwards. Matt Boldy figures to get a look at a first-line role while both Liam Ohgren and Jakub Lauko could be in contention for top-six assignments.

Johansson (concussion) has resumed skating, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach John Hynes noted that the club will provide a more meaningful update Tuesday in regards to Johansson's status. Johansson was placed on injured reserve Jan. 16 and has missed five consecutive games. The 34-year-old has contributed five goals and 16 points across 44 appearances this season.

Johansson has been put on injured reserve Thursday. It's suspected that he's dealing with a concussion, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson was injured during Wednesday's 5-3 loss to Edmonton by an elbow from Connor McDavid. The 34-year-old Johansson will miss at least a week after being put on IR, which rules him out for Minnesota's upcoming games against Nashville on Saturday and Colorado on Monday. He has five goals and 16 points in 44 appearances in 2024-25.

Johansson (upper body) is expected to miss time with the upper-body injury he suffered Wednesday versus the Oilers, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's another injury on a growing list for the Wild, though they may get one of Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) or Jakub Lauko (lower body) back in the near future. Johansson doesn't have a specific timeline to return yet. If he needs a stint on injured reserve, he may be the corresponding move to free up a roster spot for one of those injured forwards, though the Wild may still need to make a call-up ahead of Saturday's game in Nashville.

Johansson (upper body) will not finish Wednesday's game versus the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson took an elbow to the head from Connor McDavid late in the second period, but there was no penalty on the play. Johansson's status will be in doubt for Saturday's game in Nashville, and if the forward doesn't travel for that contest, he may also miss Monday's game in Colorado.

Johansson scored an empty-net goal on two shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson has not found much success lately -- this was just his third multi-point effort of the season. Johansson has three points over his last four contest but endured an eight-game slump prior to that. Still, he's in a top-six role and on the second power-play unit, so he will maintain some appeal in deep formats. The 34-year-old forward has 16 points, 67 shots on net, 23 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 40 appearances this season.

Johansson provided a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson snapped an eight-game point drought -- during which he went minus-7 with 11 shots on net -- when he helped out on Declan Chisholm's second-period tally. The 34-year-old Johansson has had positive moments in 2024-25, but he likely won't be sad to move on to January after an inconsistent December. He could get a boost with Joel Eriksson Ek back from injury and playing on the second line. Johansson has 14 points, 62 shots on net, 23 hits and a minus-4 rating through 37 appearances this season, a pace nearly identical to the one he had in a 30-point effort across 78 games in 2023-24.

Johansson scored a goal on two shots, added two assists and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson had gone four games without a point entering Tuesday. He buried a goal on a scramble in front of the net at 5:39 of the third period, and he also had primary assists on goals by Kirill Kaprizov and Marco Rossi. Johansson is rarely explosive on offense -- this was just his second multi-point effort of the campaign. The veteran forward has four goals, eight helpers, 48 shots on net, 19 hits and a plus-5 rating through 27 appearances.

Johansson produced an assist and four shots on goal in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson has two goals and two helpers during his active four-game point streak. The 34-year-old forward has added 17 shots on net in that span, matching his shot total from the previous 12 contests. He's up to eight points, 40 shots on net, 16 hits and a plus-1 rating through 20 appearances. Johansson's worth a look as an offense-only option in fantasy as long as he's playing a more active style.
