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, 2025 • 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, 2025 • 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, 2025 • 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.

MARCH 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Set to start Thursday Johansson will protect the road goal versus the Flyers on Thursday, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.

Impact It's a simple spot start for Johansson against a weaker opponent, allowing Andrei Vasilevskiy to rest after he started the previous three games, losing two of them. Johansson's last appearance was a 31-save performance in a 6-2 win over the Blue Jackets on March 4. The 29-year-old will face the Flyers, who have scored just eight goals during their five-game losing streak.

MARCH 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Rings up another win Johansson made 30 saves in a 6-2 win over Columbus on Tuesday.

Impact Johansson is now 7-5-1 in 13 starts, but his 3.15 GAA and .895 save percentage are unimpressive. Still, the Bolts are white-hot right now (9-1-0 in the last 10 games), so Johansson is a must-play whenever he's in the blue paint.

Facing Blue Jackets Johansson will patrol the home crease against Columbus on Tuesday, according to Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun.

Impact Johansson will get the second half of Tampa Bay's back-to-back after Andrei Vasilevskiy played in Monday's 2-1 loss to Florida. The 29-year-old Johansson has a 6-5-1 record with one shutout, a 3.24 GAA and an .892 save percentage across 13 appearances this season. Columbus sits fifth in the league with 3.35 goals per game in 2024-25.

Expects to dress as backup Johansson (lower body) expects to dress as the backup netminder for Thursday's home game against the Flames, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Although Andrei Vasilevskiy will operate as the starter for Thursday's matchup, Johansson should be available, as he appears to have moved past the lower-body issue that forced him to miss the last eight games. The Lightning begin next week with a back-to-back set that includes games against the Panthers and Blue Jackets on Monday and Tuesday, respectively, and it wouldn't be surprising to see Johansson between the pipes for one of those matchups.

Will not suit up Johansson (lower body) is not in uniform for Tuesday's game versus the Oilers, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.

Impact Andrei Vasilevskiy is starting with Matt Tomkins filling the backup role. Johansson will miss his eighth straight contest, and it's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to practice. Until Tomkins is reassigned to AHL Syracuse, it's safe to assume Johansson will remain out of the lineup.

FEBRUARY 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Remains unavailable Johansson (lower body) is expected to be unavailable for Sunday's home game versus Seattle, according to Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.

Impact Johansson didn't participate in Saturday's practice, prompting the Lightning to summon Matt Tomkins from AHL Syracuse to occupy the backup role behind Andrei Vasilevskiy. The 29-year-old Johansson has a 6-5-1 record with one shutout, a 3.24 GAA and an .892 save percentage through 13 appearances this season. It's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup.

FEBRUARY 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out through break Johansson (lower body) will not be available for the Lightning's next four contests, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports Tuesday.

Impact Johanson's absence will open the door for Brandon Halverson to appear in just his second NHL contest against either Detroit or Montreal on Saturday or Sunday, respectively. In his 13 outings this season, the 29-year-old Johansson is sporting a 6-5-1 record and 3.24 GAA -- not exactly the type of numbers that will inspire a ton of confidence in giving Andrei Vasilevskiy extra nights off.

FEBRUARY 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't dress Saturday Johansson (lower body) will be out of the lineup Saturday against the Islanders. according to Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.

Impact The Lightning will start Andrei Vasilevskiy as usual with Matt Tomkins, who was recalled Saturday, as his backup. Johansson is 6-5-1 with a 3.24 GAA and an .892 save percentage across 13 appearances this season. Consider him day-to-day at this time.
