Johnson (ankle) skated in a regular jersey Monday but won't return for at least the next four games, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson wouldn't put a specific return date on his recovery timeline but was unwilling to officially rule himself out next week. Still, the news does mean that Johnson's total games missed will reach at least 12, having already been sidelined for the previous eight contests. Prior to getting hurt, Johnson was off to a strong start to the season with two goals, four assists and 12 shots in the opening six games.

Johnson (ankle) was placed on the IR on Thursday after leaving Tuesday's contest, per Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

After a disappointing 2021-22 season, Johnson got off to a fast start in his second year with Chicago, scoring a pair of goals with four assists in his first six contests. The Blackhawks have yet to announce a corresponding move, as they'll have to shuffle their top six in Johnson's absence.

Johnson (lower body) left Tuesday's game versus the Panthers in the third period, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson limped to the locker room after suffering the injury, and he didn't return. The forward has an assist in the contest, giving him six points in as many games to begin the year. His potential absence would be a big one for the Blackhawks since he's been playing in a top-six role. Pope added that head coach Luke Richardson said Johnson is "not good," but the team is hoping he improves overnight. More information should be available prior to Thursday's game versus the Oilers.

Johnson scored two goals Sunday, leading the Blackhawks to a 5-4 victory over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson, who has five points in five games as a second-line left winger, connected on two game-tying goals Sunday. The 32-year-old veteran recorded his second multi-point effort in three games. After collecting a combined 11 goals over the past two seasons, Johnson appears to be converting opportunities like he did when he notched 29 goals for the 2018-19 Lightning. He recorded a team-high four shots and added three hits Sunday.

Johnson recorded two assists, four hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson set up both of his linemates in this contest. It was his second assist that earned him love from his teammates, as the 32-year-old blocked a shot that sprung Taylor Raddysh on a breakaway in the third period. Through three games this season, Johnson has three helpers, five shots on net, nine hits, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-1 rating. He's seeing time on the Blackhawks' second line, though this is a team that isn't expected to score much throughout the year.

Johnson will be scratched Thursday against Florida but he'll suit up Friday against the Lightning, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Blackhawks likely don't want to play Johnson on back-to-backs after he missed six games due to a concussion. The 31-year-old saw just 8:25 of ice time in his return against Buffalo on Monday. He's tallied three points with a minus-8 rating through 15 games this season.

Johnson (concussion) will be activated from injured reserve and play Monday against visiting Buffalo, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Multiple injuries have limited the 31-year-old to just 14 games with his new team this season. Johnson's only been able to manage three points during that span, so it's hard to recommend him from a fantasy standpoint despite his past flashes of scoring prowess. To start, he'll assume a bottom-six role and likely see some action on the power play.

Johnson (concussion) practiced with the team Tuesday, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has missed the last three games while dealing with a concussion but it appears that he could return soon. The 31-year-old has played just 14 games this season, scoring three points while averaging 12:41 of ice time. He could rejoin the lineup as early as Wednesday against Anaheim, though the team may ease him back into action due to the nature of the injury.

Johnson (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson remains out indefinitely with a concussion. The 31-year-old forward has been limited to just 14 games this season due to various injuries, picking up three points over that span.

Johnson (concussion) won't be available for Tuesday's game versus Boston, Carter Baum of the Blackhawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's been a tough season for Johnson, who's been limited to just 14 games due to various injuries. Recoveries from concussions are difficult to predict, so Johnson can be considered out indefinitely until he's able to rejoin his teammates for practice.
