Quick trip concludes Johnson has been loaned back to AHL Rochester by the Sabres, the team announced Sunday.

Impact Johnson came up just to serve as insurance with Rasmus Dahlin out of the lineup. With Dahlin likely back in time for Monday's game in St. Louis, Johnson has been sent back down to AHL Rochester. The 24-year-old has 11 points (two goals, nine assists) in 25 games in the AHL.

Recalled from AHL The Sabres called up Johnson from AHL Rochester on Saturday, Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Rasmus Dahlin went to Sweden to be with his fiancee during Christmas and will not return in time, necessitating the recall of a defenseman. Johnson had two goals and nine assists across 25 AHL contests before his recall

DECEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Two points in Rochester's win Johnson scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in AHL Rochester's 2-1 win over Laval on Friday.

Impact Johnson started the season in the NHL but failed to earn a point over three games. He's gone on to post five points across six outings since returning to Rochester. The 24-year-old defenseman doesn't have a clear path back to the Sabres, but he should be near the top of the list of call-ups if the team suffers injuries on the blue line.

NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to AHL Johnson was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Thursday, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.

Impact Johnson has no points, two PIM, two hits and three blocks in three appearances with the Sabres this year. His return to the minors might be a sign that Mattias Samuelsson (upper body) or Michael Kesselring (lower body) will be able to return Saturday versus Florida. If that's not the case, then the Sabres will need to recall a defenseman because they're down to five healthy blueliners on the roster without Samuelsson and Kesselring.

JULY 1, 2025 • NHL.COM

Staying with Buffalo Johnson signed a three-year, $2.325 million contract with the Sabres on Tuesday.

Impact The first year of Johnson's new deal is two-way, while the last two years are one-way, so that suggests the defenseman will see most of his playing time with AHL Rochester in 2025-26. The 23-year-old had two goals, 13 points and a plus-13 rating over 66 regular-season games with the Americans last season.

Called up by Buffalo Johnson was recalled by the Sabres on Thursday, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Johnson made 41 appearances for Buffalo last year, tallying seven assists, 39 blocked shots and eight hits while averaging 13:52 of ice time. He was sent to AHL Rochester ahead of the 2024-25 regular season but will join the NHL club after Rasmus Dahlin (back) exited Tuesday's game against the Avalanche. Johnson and Dennis Gilbert are candidates to enter the lineup if Dahlin is forced to miss time.

Heading to AHL Johnson (lower body) was loaned to AHL Rochester on Friday.

Impact Johnson was held out of Monday's preseason finale against Detroit, but he was considered day-to-day and will head to the minors now that he's healthy. He made 41 regular-season appearances for Buffalo last year, recording seven assists and 35 shots on goal while averaging 13:52 of ice time.

OCTOBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Monday Johnson (lower body) won't play in Monday's preseason finale against Detroit, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Johnson is considered day-to-day. He isn't with the Sabres' main group in Czechia for the start of the 2024-25 campaign, and his injury could result in a non-roster player designation once final cuts are made. The 23-year-old blueliner registered seven assists, 35 shots on goal and 39 blocked shots in 41 regular-season appearances with the Sabres in 2023-24.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Assigned to Rochester Johnson was assigned to the AHL on Friday, per Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.

Impact Johnson will be back up with the big club soon, but in order to be eligible for the AHL playoffs he needed to be sent down to Rochester. The 22-year-old has played 41 games for the Sabres this season and has recorded seven assists. He will look to sharpen his game with the big club for the rest of the year as the Sabres most likely won't make the playoffs.
