Between pipes against Bruins Johansson will tend the twine on the road versus Boston on Monday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Johansson will make his 2025-26 season debut before starter Andrei Vasilevskiy gets the nod for the second game of the Bolts' back-to-back against the Bruins on the road Tuesday. In 2025-26, the 30-year-old Johansson saw action in 19 regular-season games but could see his workload diminish if the team keeps waiver claim Pheonix Copley on the roster.

Making third preseason start Johansson will start in goal in Tuesday's preseason game versus the Panthers in Orlando, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

Impact Johansson will get the nod for a neutral-site game, which will be his third start of the preseason. He's been sharp so far, allowing just two goals on 47 shots. Andrei Vasilevskiy (undisclosed) remains out during the preseason, but Johansson's workload in the regular season is expected to be fairly small as long as Vasilevskiy is healthy.

Starting Friday Johansson will guard the home goal in Friday's preseason game versus the Hurricanes, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

Impact This will be Johansson's second appearance of the preseason. He turned aside 29 of 30 shots against the Hurricanes on Monday in his preseason debut. Johansson continues to see a sizable workload for a veteran, as Andrei Vasilevskiy (undisclosed) continues to be managed prior to the start of the regular season.

SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Drawing start in preseason opener Johansson will guard the road crease in Monday's preseason contest against the Hurricanes, according to the NHL media site.

Impact Johansson is set to be Andrei Vasilevskiy's backup once again during the 2025-26 campaign. The 30-year-old Johansson sported a 9-6-3 record, .895 save percentage and 3.13 GAA across 19 regular-season appearances last year. The Swedish netminder signed a two-year, $2.5 million contract with Tampa Bay in May.

Inks two-year extension Johansson signed a two-year, $2.5 million contract with the Lightning on Wednesday, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.

Impact Johansson was set to become an unrestricted free agent after completing his two-year, $1.55 million deal. He had a 9-6-3 record, 3.14 GAA and .895 save percentage across 19 regular-season appearances with Tampa Bay in 2024-25. The 29-year-old is expected to continue to serve as Andrei Vasilevskiy's understudy over the life of this new contract.

Gets no help from teammates Johansson made 19 saves Thursday in a 4-0 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Johansson ended the year with 9-6-3 record, one shutout, 3.13 GAA and .895 save percentage. Barring a catastrophe, he won't see ice again this year. Something will have gone seriously off the rails for the Bolts and Andrei Vasilevskiy this postseason if Johansson is in the blue paint.

Gives up four goals in win Johansson stopped 21 of 25 shots in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Sabres.

Impact Johansson had some trouble with a strong offense, but the Lightning gave him plenty of support. Johansson is 3-0-2 with 14 goals allowed over his last five contests, providing decent performances in the backup role behind Andrei Vasilevskiy. For the season, Johansson is at 9-5-3 with a 3.08 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 18 appearances. The Lightning have two games left in the regular season, and it's possible the 29-year-old will start one of them, though that's not yet confirmed.

Busy in shootout loss Johansson stopped 36 of 38 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Sabres.

Impact Johansson put in a good performance during regulation and overtime, aside from allowing goals to Tage Thompson and Jason Zucker. The shootout didn't go as well, as Johansson stopped just one of three Buffalo attempts, which stuck him with the loss. He's 2-0-2 with 10 goals allowed on 138 shots over his last four outings, which is solid work for a backup netminder. On the year, he's 8-5-3 with a 3.03 GAA and a .901 save percentage across 17 appearances. The Lightning secured their playoff spot Saturday but still have seeding to play for. It's possible Johansson may see more action over the final six games of the season to keep Andrei Vasilevskiy fresh for the playoffs.

Guarding cage Saturday Johansson will patrol the visiting crease in Buffalo on Saturday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Johansson will get a rare start, only his fourth in the last 27 games as Andrei Vasilevskiy is the undisputed No. 1 netminder in Tampa Bay. Johansson is 8-5-2 with a 3.11 GAA and an .898 save percentage across 16 contests this season. The Sabres have won five of their last six games and are averaging 3.26 goals per game in 2024-25, eighth in the NHL.

Difference maker in win Johansson made 35 saves in a 5-3 win over the Islanders on Saturday.

Impact It was a tight contest, and Johansson shut the door with some big saves in the third period, especially on the 6-on-5 at the end of the game. Jo was a surprise starter Saturday after Andrei Vasilevskiy led the Bolts onto the ice for warmups, but ended up a late scratch. Johansson has played three games in March and has delivered a 2-0-1 record with eight goals allowed. It's tough for him to get into a groove when he plays sporadic minutes, but that could change over the next couple weeks. The Bolts will do what they can to rest Vasilevskiy heading into the postseason, and that means Johansson will be front and center in the blue paint.

Starting Saturday Johansson will patrol the home crease against the Islanders on Saturday.

Impact Contrary to a previous report, Johansson will get the nod instead of Vasilevskiy on Saturday. The 29-year-old Johansson has a 7-5-2 record with one shutout, a 3.12 GAA and an .896 save percentage through 15 appearances this season.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Returns from absence Johansson (personal) rejoined the Lightning on Tuesday, per Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.

Impact Brandon Halverson, who was called up from the minors due to the absence of Johansson, was one of three goaltenders who attended Tampa Bay's morning skate, so it's not clear if Johansson will draw into the lineup versus the Penguins on Tuesday, but he should at least be an option now that he's back with the team. Johansson has a 7-5-2 record, 3.12 GAA and .896 save percentage in 15 outings in 2024-25.

MARCH 25 • ROTOWIRE

Not with team on road trip Johansson returned to Tampa Bay because of a family matter, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports Saturday.

Impact Johansson won't be an option for Saturday's clash in Utah, and he presumably also won't participate in Sunday's game in Vegas. After those road matches, the Lightning will return to Tampa Bay and host the Penguins on Tuesday. Johansson has a 7-5-2 record, 3.12 GAA and .896 save percentage in 15 appearances in 2024-25.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles continue Johansson made 26 saves through overtime and three saves in the shootout in a 4-3 SO loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Bobby Brink was his kryponite -- the young Flyer had two goals. And the Bolts had a defensive breakdown on the Flyers' third goal that left Johansson swimming. The netminder continues to struggle this season. He's 3-4-1 in his last eight starts and 7-5-2 overall. His 3.12 GAA and .896 save percentage are uninspiring. Johansson isn't a reliable fantasy option.
