Johnson (lower body) will miss his second straight game Monday when the Lightning take on the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

While he is sure to miss Monday's game, Johnson could return as soon as Tuesday when the team finishes its road back-to-back in Ottawa. In the meantime, Brayden Point is slated to center the first line, while recent call-up Byron Froese is scheduled to make just his third NHL appearance of the season skating on Tampa Bay's third line.

Johnson (lower body) traveled with the team on its two-game road trip, Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

More information on the forward's status should arrive prior to Monday's contest, but it's at least an encouraging sign that he traveled with the squad. The team should update his status again prior to the tilt, providing a bit more clarity on his situation over the next couple days.

Johnson (lower body) remains out and will not play Saturday. He will be re-evaluated before Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The Bolts feel Johnson's injury is less-serious than what it first appeared, but they're remaining tight-lipped. Johnson may return sooner than he might otherwise if the team is still pushing to a postseason berth.

Johnson is considered day-to-day with the lower-body injury he sustained in Thursday's game against the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson's owners can breathe a sigh of relief, as the 28-year-old pivot evidently won't be sidelined long-term with the injury he sustained in Thursday's 4-1 win over Minnesota. The American pivot should be considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Panthers at this juncture, but more information regarding his status for that contest should be released following the Lightning's morning skate.

Johnson left Thursday's matchup with Minnesota in the second period due to a lower-body injury and will not return.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has been one of the league's top scorers this season, notching 44 points in 64 games, including an assist before leaving Thursday's game. If he misses any extended period of team, his owners and the Lightning will both feel his absence heavily. More information on his status moving forward should come either after the game of after practice Friday.

Johnson scored his 19th goal of the season in Tampa's 2-1 shootout win over Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

The goal was a nice tip on a tic-tac-goal passing play. Johnson is bucking for a big UFA contract this offseason, so clearly has his pedal to the metal. His 10 points (three goals, seven assists) in his last eight games have helped the Bolts to a 5-3 record and an outside shot at the postseason.

Johnson, who remained in Tampa despite being the topic of rumors prior to the trade deadline, scored a goal and added two assists in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has five points in his last two games and 13, including 10 assists, in his last 10. That's a stark contrast to his previous 50 games where he delivered 30 points. This late season turbo boost is a boon to fantasy owners as they roll into the fantasy playoffs.

Johnson picked up two assists in a 5-1 victory over Ottawa on Monday night.

EDGE Analysis

He has three, two-point games in his last five and 10, including eight helpers, in his last nine games. Johnson may be finally starting to produce like he did when the Triplets Line formed in 2014-15. Plug him in and use him. Just beware -- Johnson may be on the move by deadline Wednesday and his landing spot will dictate his go-forward value.

Johnson dished out two helpers in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson's line with Ondrej Palat and Nikita Kucherov combined for eight points, with the diminutive center assisting on goals by each of his wingers. He has posted four points in three games since returning from a lower-body injury, bringing him one shy of last season's 38 in 12 fewer games played. That production is disappointing considering Johnson preceded that 38-point campaign with a 72-point effort in 2014-15.

Johnson posted a goal with an assist, a blocked shot and three hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss against the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson missed a pair of games due to a lower-body injury, but he certainly showed no ill effects of the ailment in this one. If you haven't already done so, get him back into the active fantasy lineup immediately.
