Johnson extended his point streak to six games with an assist in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Stars.
Johnson has been rolling all season, so scoring streaks like that are commonplace these days. His shot attempts have begun to dwindle a bit, but the Bolts have enough playmakers around him to prop up his assist totals even if his shooting percentage takes a dive at some point. The 24-year-old has 64 points in 65 games, giving him a top-10 spot on the NHL's scoring list.

Johnson potted his 24th goal in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers.
That's five points in the last three games now for Johnson, and five goals in his last eight. The 24-year-old's 61 points were already a career high, but his 24th goal matches his tally from last season. He's just off the pace of a point per game, so keep him rolling.

Johnson scored a goal and added two assists in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Avalanche.
It's his first multi-point game in nine outings, but he still has 10 points -- including six goals -- in his last 10 games. And he's just one goal shy of matching his career mark of 24 goals. Use him well.

Johnson scored two goals in Thursday's 5-3 win over Dallas. The first goal came on the power play while the second, which game at even strength, stood as the game winner.
And with that, Johnson has established a new career mark in points (51) and he's done it in just 51 games. There's no sophomore slump here. Use with confidence.

Johnson (lower body) was on the ice for pregame warmups and looks like he'll be cleared to play Tuesday against the Hurricanes, Erik Erlendsson of the Tampa Tribune reports.
The Lightning didn't have an extra forward take part in warmups as insurance in the event of a setback for Johnson, so consider him good to go for Tuesday's tilt. Johnson was forced to miss out of his first career All-Star appearance due to the untimely injury, but it shouldn't deter fantasy owners from slotting him back into their lineups. With 48 points in 46 games, Johnson checks in ahead of more-heralded teammate Steven Stamkos (45 points) as the Bolts' leading scorer.

Johnson (lower body) is still being regarded as a game-time decision ahead of Tuesday's match against the Hurricanes, Erik Erlendsson of the Tampa Tribune reports.
After coach Jon Cooper labeled him as a game-time call following his participation in practice Monday, Johnson's status didn't change despite his presence at Tuesday's morning skate. His involvement in both regular line work and power-play duties bode well for Johnson's chances of playing Tuesday, but fantasy owners will want confirmation on his status during warmups before determining whether or not to keep him active.

Johnson will be a game-time call for Tuesday's game against the Hurricanes.
Johnson's injury was revealed prior to the All-Star break, preventing him from participating in the festivities. He did practice with the team Monday, which could indicate there's a decent chance he plays, but the team should provide a more concrete status prior to the opening faceoff Tuesday.

Johnson (lower body) was on the ice for Monday's practice, NHL.com's Bryan Burns reports.
Per the report, Johnson didn't appear to be slowed by the lower-body injury that kept him out of the NHL All-Star Game, which bodes well for the forward's chances of suiting up Tuesday against the Hurricanes.

Johnson (lower body) will not play in Sunday's All-Star Game, but he will be eligible to play in Tuesday's game against the Hurricanes if healthy, ESPN reports. He is at the All-Star festivities even though he isn't going to play.
Johnson appears to be sitting out as a precaution more than anything. He played in the last three games leading up to the All-Star break, so there's little reason to think he won't be ready to go for Tuesday's game.
