Johnson contributed two assists -- one on the power play -- in Saturday's loss to the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

In the midst of a slump for the Lightning, Johnson has remained very productive, managing eight points (four goals) in his last five games. The speedy winger has been dynamite alongside Brayden Point and Ondrej Plat and is now up to 16 goals and 37 points in 45 games. His consistency and prominent role in Tampa Bay make him a must-own in all formats.

Johnson recorded a hat trick along with a plus-4 rating and six shots in Tuesday's 5-4 win over Carolina.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson single-handedly turned an early 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 lead and later gave his team a 5-3 advantage to complete the hat trick with a goal that turned into the game-winner. The diminutive forward is on pace to top his 2014-15 career high of 29 tallies, as he now has 16 goals in 42 games.

Johnson's recent offensive resurgence has coincided with developing a shoot-first mentality.

EDGE Analysis

A career-long 15-game goal drought where he had five games with no shots on net had preceded his current 12-game, December-long scoring streak. Johnson has racked up 28 shots in his current 12-game run and has 18 points, including eight goals, in that span. December was the most prolific month of his career, but it wasn't enough to earn him a player of the month honor. Still, Johnson is now an auto-roll for fantasy owners who stuck with him through his earlier struggles.

Johnson's continuous points streak now stands at 12 games after he scored twice in a 5-0 win over Columbus on Sunday night.

EDGE Analysis

Twelve games ties him with teammates Nikita Kucherov and Steven Stamkos for the longest in the NHL this season. He scored the winner early in the second; it was his 100th career marker (345 games). The second came on the power play. Johnson has eight goals and 10 assists during the streak and has clearly woken from his early-season offensive slumber.

Johnson (illness) participated in morning skate Thursday, Bryan Burns of the Lightning's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The top-six sniper recovered quickly from the flu, which caused him to miss Tuesday's game in Vegas. Johnson has compiled four goals, eight assists and a plus-7 rating through his first seven December games, so he deserves to be activated immediately in the fantasy realm.

Johnson (illness) missed Tuesday's game with the flu, reports the Tampa Times.

EDGE Analysis

The illness came on suddenly right before game time -- Steven Stamkos called it "out of the blue" and "unexpected." Johnson was extremely productive with 12 points in the Bolts' seven game-winning streak heading into Tuesday night. He's playing the right side rather than center and it seems to have improved his confidence. Let's hope the flu passes as quickly as it came on and he resumes his strong scoring.

Johnson (undisclosed) was scratched from Tuesday's game against the Golden Knights, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear what, if anything, is ailing Johnson, as he participated in warmups but was a late scratch Tuesday. The Lightning will roll with seven defensemen in Johnson's absence. More updates on his status should be available after the game at the latest.

Johnson scored his eighth goal of the season and added an assist Thursday in a 4-1 win over Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

The diminutive forward stretched his point streak to six games, a span that's featured a whopping 11 points. Even more impressively, Johnson has produced two points in each of his last four games, bringing his season total up to 22 in 31 contests. He's endured a pretty tough fall from grace since 2014-15's 72-point breakout (38 and 45 in the two campaigns since), but the 27-year-old is showing signs of greatness right now that shouldn't go unnoticed in any format.

Johnson recorded his third straight multi-point game Tuesday, notching a goal and an assist in a win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Quite the effort from the 27-year-old, who has put up three goals and nine points during a five-game point streak. Johnson went through a dry slump from mid-October to early-November, but he's really turned it on of late for the Eastern-Conference leading Bolts. The second-line winger now has 20 points in 30 games and is contributing on the power play. Roll him out with confidence.

Johnson's two assists Saturday in a 4-3 win over the Jets extended his point streak to four games and seven points, including five assists.

EDGE Analysis

This guy has a 70-point pedigree, but he had been mired on the third line until recently. It's clear Johnson still has his offensive touch and for many, he sits on the waiver wire. Go check.
