Johnson stretched his current point streak to four games and six points, including four goals, when he scored a goal in Sunday's shootout win over the Red Wings.
He's keeping pace with the best in the league and there's no end in sight. We knew he was good, but not this good. Use him well.

Johnson scored twice in Saturday's win over Columbus.
This guy has been nothing short of outstanding. He has five points, including three goals, in his last three games and 17 in 14 games. He remains the Bolts' top scorer -- yes, he's ahead of Steven Stamkos. He's a mandatory play right now.

Johnson scored a goal in Thursday's win over Calgary. He has at least one point in nine of his last 10 games.
He entered the game tied for ninth in league scoring -- yes, you read that right -- and now has 15 points (two goals, 13 assists) in 13 games. He's definitely one of the NHL's early-season surprises. Take full advantage.

Johnson picked up two more assists in a 4-3 win over the Capitals on Saturday night. He now has 13 on the season.
Wow -- those 13 helpers put him on the top of the NHL playmaking chart for now. Hands up if you saw that coming. Nope, didn't think so. Johnson has been held off the scoresheet just a single time in the last nine. Stick in the spurs.

Johnson delivered a four-assist night in Tampa Bay's 7-3 win over Arizona on Tuesday night. The helpers extended his point streak to seven games and 11 assists.
He's on fire and he might still be available in deep leagues. Get on board. Quick.

Johnson's assist Saturday extended his point streak to six games and seven points (all assists).
He's very quietly showing that last season was no fluke. Remember those comps? Yep, Marty St. Louis lite. He might not produce like Mighty Mite did in his prime, but he's already a solid fantasy contributor with considerable upside. #keepertarget

Johnson dished out another two assists in Friday's win over the Jets, extending his point streak to five games.
Johnson now has a goal and seven points in eight games this season, to go with a plus-4 rating. The second-line center has recorded an impressive 22 shots on goal, while averaging 17:45 of ice time. As a top-six forward in Tampa Bay, there is no reason he can't put up another 50-point season in 2014-15.

Johnson assisted on Ondrej Palat's game-winning overtime goal Tuesday against the Flames.
That's four consecutive games with an assist for Johnson, who has also compiled 14 shots on goal during that span. The points should continue to trickle in steadily while he remains locked into a top-six role.

Johnson notched a power-play goal in Thursday's OT win over the Panthers.
The little spark plug is coming off a Calder trophy nomination and he looks to prove that wasn't a fluke. He could provide sleeper value, but won't wait on picking him up -- he won't be on the wire long.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have inked Tyler Johnson to a three-year/$10 million extension.
Johnson was scheduled to become a restricted free agent. He had 24 goals and 26 assists in 82 games in 2013-14 and is a Calder Trophy nominee. He was also the second rookie in the league's history to finish a season with five shorthanded and five power-play goals.
