Deemed day-to-day The Blues relayed Sunday that Johnston (lower body) is day-to-day.

Impact Johnston wasn't available for Saturday's game against the Predators after tweaking something against the Wild on Thursday. Johnston's absence Saturday led to the Blues running with 11 forwards and seven defensemen, which resulted in Theo Lindstein drawing back into the lineup. St. Louis will begin a five-game homestand Tuesday against Winnipeg.

Inks three-year contract Johnston signed a three-year, $6 million contract with the Blues on Wednesday, per Lou Korac of NHL.com.

Impact Johnston had three goals, 14 points, 107 PIM and 192 hits in 62 regular-season outings with Anaheim in 2025-26. The 32-year-old should be in the mix for a fourth-line spot with the Blues, but he'll probably also spend a fair amount of time as a healthy scratch.

Available for Round 2 Johnston (lower body) is seemingly available for the second round of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports Monday.

Impact Johnston hasn't played since March 10 against Winnipeg, but he has been a regular at playoff practices. According to Cavanagh, head coach Joel Quenneville said ahead of Game 6 of Round 1 against Edmonton on Thursday that Johnston was "capable of playing." However, it seems that Johnston will be a healthy scratch for Monday's Game 1 matchup against Vegas.

Impact Johnston has been sidelined for 23 games dating back to March 10 versus the Jets, and will be out of action for a 24th. Prior to getting hurt, the 32-year-old winger was mired in an eight-game goal drought during which he recorded a lone helper and a meager three shots.

Set to miss out versus Oilers Johnston (lower body) is expected to remain out of the lineup versus the Oilers in Game 5 on Tuesday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Johnston has been on the shelf since March 10 versus the Jets due to his lower-body injury. Prior to getting hurt, the 32-year-old winger was mired in a seven-game pointless streak during which he managed just three shots. Even if Johnston is cleared to return, he could struggle to break back into the lineup, especially if the Ducks keep winning.

Ruled out for Game 1 Johnston (lower body) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 1 against Edmonton, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Johnston fully participated in Monday's morning skate, but he'll remain sidelined to begin the playoffs as he continues to deal with a lower-body issue. However, head coach Joel Quenneville said Monday that he expects Johnston to play at some point during the Ducks' first-round series, so the 32-year-old should be considered day-to-day for now.
