Johansson scored a goal and assisted on another in a 6-5 shootout loss to Anaheim on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The Devils' forward has scored three goals over his last five games, giving him six on the year to go along with six helpers. Since coming to New Jersey, Johansson has been a tad disappointing, mostly due to his inability to stay healthy. Through 26 games, the 28-year-old is a minus-8, putting him second from the bottom on the team. If able to, we recommend you look elsewhere for players to fill out your fantasy roster.

Johansson (lower body) will return to the lineup for Friday's game against the Capitals, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson will return to a prominent role Friday, skating on the Devils' second line and second power-play unit against Washington. The Swedish winger has had a disappointing start to the season, notching just three goals and eight points in 21 appearances.

Johansson (lower body) is targeting Friday's clash with Washington for his return to the lineup, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson appears to have avoided a more serious injury, as he'll miss just one game if he does in fact suit up versus his old team. The winger saw his 2017-18 campaign limited to a mere 29 appearances in which he tallied 14 points. If he can stay healthy, the 27-year-old is certainly capable of getting back to being a 40-plus point producer.

Johansson won't play Monday against the Panthers after suffering a lower-body injury Sunday against the Lightning. He's considered day-to-day.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson's time with the Devils has not gone well. Last year, injuries limited him to 29 games, and he only managed 14 points. This season, the 27-year-old has eight points through 21 games, but with a 7.7 shooting percentage. The Swede has played 2:00 per game on the power play, so his absence will impact the Devils' lineup. Johansson will have until Friday to get healthy.

Johansson mustered a pair of assists in Wednesday's 5-2 win over Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
Both of Johansson's points came in the second period, and he rounded out his stat line with three shots and a plus-2 rating. This performance ended a seven-game point drought, and Johansson's seven points in 19 games place him squarely among the waiver wire fodder in most leagues.

Johansson delivered a power-play goal and even-strength assist Thursday, but the Devils lost to the Red Wings on the road, 4-3.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson was among three New Jersey skaters to have generated a multi-point outing in this game. The top-six winger missed last Saturday's contest against the Panthers due to an illness, but he's looked none the worse for wear since returning to action for Tuesday's 8-3 road loss to the Bolts.

Johansson returned to practice Monday after being sidelined against the Panthers on Saturday due to illness, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports
EDGE Analysis
Now that Johansson is healthy, he can focus on trying to break his five-game goal drought. A concussion limited the winger to just 29 games last season, but when fully fit, he is capable of being a 20-goal scorer, a mark he has hit twice in his nine-year NHL career. With the veteran back in the lineup, Joey Anderson or Kevin Rooney figures to be relegated to the press box

Johansson (illness) will not play Saturday afternoon against the Panthers, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson's absence paves the way for Joey Anderson to make his NHL debut. The former didn't practice Friday due to the illness, but he'll have until Tuesday to get ready for the subsequent contest against the Lightning.

Johansson didn't practice Friday due to an illness, Chris Ryan of NJ Advance Media reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson's absence at practice leaves his status for Saturday's matchup with the Panthers up in the air. If he's unable to go, the Devils will likely need to recall a forward from their AHL affiliate to fill in against Florida.

Johansson tallied a goal and two shots while logging 16:33 of ice time during Thursday's 6-0 blowout win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson burned his former teammates for his first point of the season. The 28-year-old Swede was limited to just 29 games in 2017-18 as a result of a concussion, but with a clean bill of health and top-six minutes at his disposal, the first-round pick from the 2009 NHL Entry Draft has some sleeper potential if he can rekindle his scoring touch.
