Johansson recorded a goal during Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson was the beneficiary of an errant clear by Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov in the third period of Wednesday's loss. The 32-year-old has had a bounce-back season with 11 goals and 21 points in 44 games, but the return of Nicklas Backstrom and Tom Wilson has pushed him out of the top six and off the top power-play unit so Johansson may have trouble producing the kind of consistent offense fantasy managers crave.

Johansson had a goal and two assists in a 9-2 rout of the Canadiens on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Both assists came with the man advantage; the goal was at even strength. Johansson has six points (three goals, three assists) in his last six games. Half of those have come with the man advantage. And he has two game-winning goals in that span. Johansson is hit-and-miss offensively most weeks, but this is a nice fantasy stretch.

Johansson tallied the game-winning goal and added two shots during Thursday's 3-2 overtime win against the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Johansson has been shoring up Washington's offense while the team continues to deal with myriad injury woes, posting four goals and eight points over his last 15 games. The 32-year-old is worth a look in most formats as long as continues to garner top-six minutes and opportunities with Alex Ovechkin on the top power-play unit.
