Jonas Johansson - NHL News & Rumors

Will suit up Sunday Johansson (undisclosed) took the ice for warmups and will suit up as the backup for Sunday's Game 1 against the Canadiens, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.

Impact Johansson did not dress in the Lightning's final two games with an undisclosed injury, but he is good to go for the beginning of the postseason. The 30-year-old is clearly entrenched as the backup behind Andrei Vasilevskiy, but it gives the Lightning their full stable of normal netminders for the first-round series with the Canadiens. Johansson went 11-10-2 with a 3.29 GAA and an .884 save percentage during the regular season.

Out of action Wednesday Johansson (undisclosed) won't suit up Wednesday versus the Rangers, Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley reports.

Impact Johansson will be out for a second straight game. The 30-year-old netminder will have his next chance to return in Game 1 of the playoffs versus the Canadiens. Johansson will likely be the backup once he's healthy, as Andrei Vasilevskiy will see the vast majority of the playing time for the Lightning's postseason run.

Unavailable Monday Johansson (undisclosed) will not be an option for Monday's home game against Detroit and is day-to-day, according to Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.

Impact Emergency backup goaltender Kyle Konin will serve as the No. 2 option behind Andrei Vasilevskiy on Monday. Tampa Bay's final regular-season game is at home Wednesday versus the Rangers.

Game closer than score indicates Johansson made 25 saves in a 6-2 loss to Ottawa on Tuesday. He allowed five goals.

Impact The game was tight well into the third -- the score was just 3-2 at the midpoint of the frame, and then the Sens took charge. The Bolts challenged a Tim Stutzle goal for goalie interference, but it was upheld and then the Sens capitalized on the ensuing power play to push the game to 5-2. Johansson could get more playing time before season's end in order to give Andrei Vasilevskiy a rest prior to the postseason. In theory, the Bolts are good enough to win with Johansson in net, so consider him for spot starts.

Patrolling road crease Johansson will draw the road start in Tuesday's clash against the Senators, per Julian McKenzie of The Athletic.

Impact Johansson will look to start a win streak in Tuesday's contest after picking up a victory in his last appearance against Nashville on March 29. Overall, the 30-year-old netminder has an 11-9-2 record, a 3.21 GAA and an .886 save percentage across 24 appearances this season. He'll face off against the Senators, who should pose a decent challenge with the league's eighth-best 3.31 goals per game this season.

APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE

Earns win in spot start Johansson stopped 29 of 31 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Predators.

Impact Johansson was beaten in the first and second periods, but overall, he looked competent between the pipes and did enough to support Tampa Bay's comeback in the third frame. Johansson earned his first win since Jan. 12, but given that he rarely suits up for the Bolts, he's not a player to target in most fantasy formats -- even on games where Andrei Vasilevskiy gets a breather.

Gets rare start Sunday Johansson will tend the goal Sunday against the Predators, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Impact Of the Lightning's 15 games in March so far, this is just the third one that will be started by Johansson. The 30-year-old hasn't picked up a win since January as he's gone 0-3-1 in his last four starts. He is 10-9-2 on the season with a 3.26 GAA and an .883 save percentage. After a five-game win streak, the Predators have taken losses in back-to-back games while combining to score just three goals.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes four goals Sunday Johansson stopped 25 of 29 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Flames.

Impact Johansson wasn't able to finish off a perfect road trip for the Lightning, but he at least got them one standings point with a lockdown third period. He is winless over his last five outings, giving up 24 goals on 154 shots in that span. For the season, the veteran backup is 10-9-2 with a 3.26 GAA and an .883 save percentage over 23 appearances. The Lightning are likely to turn back to Andrei Vasilevskiy at home Tuesday versus the Wild, but with a back-to-back coming up over the weekend, Johansson shouldn't have to wait long for his next start.

Set to start in Calgary Johansson will guard the road net Sunday against the Flames, Ryan Pike of Flames Nation reports.

Impact Johansson hasn't played since March 8 against the Sabres -- he conceded eight goals on 42 shots during an 8-7 loss in that game. The Swedish netminder has a 10-9-1 record, 3.23 GAA and .884 save percentage through 22 appearances this season. The Flames have won back-to-back games against the Blues and Panthers.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes eight in goalfest Johansson stopped 34 of 42 shots in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Sabres.

Impact Conceding seven goals is far from ideal, as Johansson only posted an .810 save percentage in one of the highest-scoring games of the 2025-26 NHL season so far. Johansson has appeared in six games (five starts) since the beginning of January, going 2-3-0 with a 4.35 GAA and an .855 save percentage. He's firmly entrenched as the Bolts' No. 2 option between the posts behind Andrei Vasilevskiy, so he's not going to have a lot of upside in most slates, but even when he's scheduled to start, he's a matchup-based, streaming-only option.

Between pipes Sunday Johansson will guard the road goal against the Sabres on Sunday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Johansson will get the second half of Tampa Bay's back-to-back after Andrei Vasilevskiy played in Saturday's 5-2 win over Toronto. The 30-year-old Johansson has gone 10-8-1 this campaign with a 2.98 GAA and an .890 save percentage across 21 appearances. Buffalo ranks seventh in the league with 3.40 goals per game this season.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Solid in relief Johansson made 20 saves in relief Saturday in a 6-2 loss to the Sabres. He allowed one goal.

Impact The Bolts had no compete and little focus Saturday, so netminding was an adventure behind them. Andrei Vasilevskiy allowed five goals on 14 shots, and coach Jon Cooper yanked him to prove a point. Johansson was solid, but it won't earn him more time in net. The Bolts may give him starts when they are home and cooled later in the season. Tampa Bay is four points ahead of Buffalo and five ahead of Montreal, and they will make sure they are solid in first before Johansson gets multiple starts.

Can't overcome rough start Johansson made 28 saves in a 5-4 loss to Carolina on Thursday.

Impact Johansson got off to a rough start, allowing three goals in the first 10 minutes of the game. He has lost his last two games and allowed 11 goals in that span. Starter Andrei Vasilevskiy is well rested, so don't expect Johansson to see too much time in the blue paint.

Tending twine Thursday Johansson will protect the road goal versus the Hurricanes on Thursday, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Johansson will handle the second half of a back-to-back after Andrei Vasilevskiy earned a 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs on Wednesday. Johansson played just three times in January, allowing 10 goals on 70 shots. He's got a tough matchup ahead, especially since he hasn't played since Jan. 24.

FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

First loss in four starts Johansson made 23 saves in an 8-5 loss to Columbus on Saturday. he allowed six goals.

Impact The game was chaotic. Columbus scored four goals in the first period, and they put up two more in the second. It was Johansson's first loss in four games, but that's all he'd played since the December break. He is 10-7-1 with a 2.91 GAA and .890 save percentage in 18 starts this season. Expect a light workload the rest of the way, except for the post-Olympic period. Andrei Vasilevskiy will deserve and need a rest after Milano Cortina.
