Best game of career Johnston scored a goal, dished out two assists, earned a fighting major, logged four hits and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Predators.

Impact It was just the second multi-point effort of Johnston's career. He scored at 8:52 of the first period and then assisted on goals by Beckett Sennecke and Troy Terry later in the game. A fight with Michael McCarron in the third period allowed Johnston to complete his Gordie Howe hat trick. With this massive performance, Johnston is just one point shy of matching his total from last season. He's at three points, two shots on net, 14 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating. With the Ducks having a lot of young players in the lineup, Johnston is purely an enforcer on the fourth line to keep the skill guys safe.

Impact Johnston missed the final few weeks of the 2024-25 regular season due to an upper-body injury, but he appears to have moved past the ailment over the summer. He appeared in 43 regular-season games last year, recording a goal, three assists, 134 hits and 72 PIM while averaging 8:41 of ice time.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to return this season Johnston (upper body) isn't expected to play again this season, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports Saturday.

Impact Johnston has a goal, four points, 72 PIM and 134 hits in 43 appearances with Anaheim in 2024-25. He was last in the lineup March 12. The 31-year-old's four-year, $4.4 million contract runs through the 2025-26 campaign, so he'll likely be back with the Ducks next season and probably continue to serve in a bottom-six capacity.

Still out Friday Johnston (upper body) won't play Friday versus the Rangers, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Johnston is set to miss his seventh straight game. There's been no information regarding his recovery, so it seems unlikely he'll be back in action Sunday versus the Maple Leafs.

MARCH 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined again Wednesday Johnston (upper body) will not play Wednesday versus the Bruins, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Johnston is out of the lineup for a sixth straight game. There's no telling when the 31-year-old will be available again, as it has not yet been reported that he's returned to practice. Even when healthy, he's not a lock to play.

Impact Johnston will miss his fifth consecutive game. His next chance to return to the lineup will be Wednesday against Boston.

Likely won't play on road trip Johnston (upper body) did not travel with the team for its two-game road trip, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports Tuesday.

Impact Anaheim will face Dallas on Tuesday before wrapping up its brief two-game road trip Thursday in Nashville, so Johnston will presumably not be available until at least Sunday versus Carolina. The 31-year-old winger has chipped in one goal and three helpers across 43 appearances in 2024-25.

MARCH 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out Sunday Johnston (upper body) won't play Sunday against the Blues, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Johnston will miss a second straight game after suffering the injury earlier this week. The 31-year-old Johnston has one goal and four points in 43 games this season.

MARCH 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sustains upper-body injury Johnston (upper body) is expected to miss Friday's clash against Nashville.

Impact Johnston is being called day-to-day by the Ducks, so perhaps he'll be back as early as Sunday in St. Louis. He has a goal, four points and 134 hits in 43 appearances in 2024-25. Sam Colangelo (upper body) is also expected to miss Friday's game, which will likely lead to Nikita Nesterenko and Jansen Harkins drawing into the lineup.

MARCH 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Gets in lineup against old team Johnston logged four hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.

Impact Johnston saw action with the Islanders in seven different seasons before joining the Ducks in 2023-24. The 31-year-old got into the lineup Sunday to face his former team, but he had been scratched for the previous three games, and head coach Greg Cronin is not averse to keeping Johnston in the press box for lengthy stretches. This season, Johnston has just four points with 72 PIM, 126 hits and a minus-2 rating over 41 appearances as an enforcer on the Ducks' fourth line.

MARCH 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Playing time fading again Johnston was scratched for the fourth game in a row in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Kraken.

Impact Johnston has been in the lineup for just four of the Ducks' last 12 games. For now, it appears Brett Leason and Jansen Harkins are doing enough to maintain fourth-line roles, though Johnston can check in whenever a little extra grit is required. Johnston has four points, 97 hits and 61 PIM across 32 appearances in 2024-25.

JANUARY 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Slipping out of the lineup Johnston was scratched for the fourth time in six games when he sat out Monday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Johnston had a decent November, but he's since gone 10 games and counting without a point. The 30-year-old routinely plays in a fourth-line role when in the lineup, but Johnston has had less playing time since Robby Fabbri returned from a knee injury. Through 23 appearances, Johnston has four points, 77 hits, 53 PIM and just eight shots on net.

DECEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Garners assist in overtime loss Johnston posted an assist and four hits in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sabres.

Impact Johnston has picked up four points while playing in all nine of the Ducks' games in November. The winger typically doesn't have that much scoring success -- he's already matched his scoring output from 68 appearances in 2023-24. Johnston has added seven shots on net, 16 PIM and 49 hits over 13 appearances in 2024-25 while filling a fourth-line role.

NOVEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in Friday's win Johnston scored a goal on three shots and added four hits in Friday's 6-4 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Johnston has been surprisingly productive since entering the lineup on a regular basis at the start of November. All three of his points have come over the last six games, and he'll likely have a chance to stick in the lineup while Robby Fabbri (knee) is out. Johnston has added six shots on net, 35 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 10 appearances.
