Minnesota Wild left wing Marcus Johansson (undisclosed) is questionable for Sunday's game against San Jose. He sustained an unspecified injury on Saturday versus St. Louis, playing for only 2:47. There haven't been any updates on Johansson, leaving him with a question mark ahead of Sunday's action. Johansson has so far played in every game this season, registering 27 points (nine goals, 18 assists) in 61 outings. Ryan Hartman filled in for him on the second line on Saturday and could play a larger role again versus the Sharks.
Minnesota Wild left wing Marcus Johansson is battling an illness and is considered a game-time decision for Wednesday's tilt against Dallas. There appears to be some bug doing the rounds in the Wild locker room, as Marcus Foligno is also feeling under the weather and might not be able to play. Johansson has had a quiet spell lately, but he's been a top-six regular for Minnesota and is fourth on the team with 16 assists. He's added five goals across 39 outings. Nic Petan is set to rejoin the action on Wednesday as a result of the Wild's latest lineup issues.
Minnesota Wild left wing Marcus Johansson (upper body) has been cleared to play Saturday versus the Maple Leafs. The Swedish forward had to leave Thursday's season opener against Florida early after taking an elbow to the head. Johansson logged 12:03 of ice time versus the Panthers and finished as a plus-one for the contest with one blocked shot registered. He'll be back on the second line on Saturday, joining Matt Boldy and Joel Eriksson Ek. The 33-year-old also logs time on the second power-play unit.
Minnesota Wild left wing Marcus Johansson was knocked out from Thursday's 2-0 victory over Florida by an undisclosed injury. He exited in the third period after getting hit with an elbow. Johansson logged 12:03 ice time and was plus-one for the contest. Wild head coach Dave Evason didn't have an update on Johansson after the game. Getting injured in the season opener is the worst possible way to start a campaign, but hopefully, Johansson can make it back on the ice quickly. The Wild return to action on Saturday versus Toronto and will need to make adjustments to their second line if Johansson is forced to miss the match.
Marcus Johansson Totals Three Points In Win Over Chicago
Minnesota Wild winger Marcus Johansson took full advantage of top-line minutes in Monday's matchup against Chicago, leading the team to a 4-2 victory with two goals and one assist. He filled Kirill Kaprizov's spot on the left wing after the Wild decided to rest their superstar for the contest. His goals helped to turn the game in Minnesota's favor after the Blackhawks had grabbed a 2-1 lead. Johansson's first marker at the 14:00 mark in the third period came in a short-handed situation. The Swedish veteran benefited from a bigger role, and he's set to drop back down in the lineup Tuesday as Kaprizov is set to return, but Johansson has previously produced good numbers as well since rejoining the team in February. In 19 games with the Wild, Johansson has collected six goals and 11 assists, getting to 45 points for the whole season.
The Minnesota Wild have brought back forward Marcus Johansson to the club, receiving him from the Washington Capitals for a 2024 third-round draft pick. Johansson also played with the Wild in 2020-21, recording eight six goals and eight assists in 36 games. It wasn't a great campaign for Johansson, but the Wild clearly liked something about him if they decided to bring him back. The 32-year-old boasts 10 goals and 28 points in 60 games this term. He should be a solid middle-six contributor for a Wild team that has been desperate for more goals.
Washington Capitals winger Marcus Johansson (undisclosed) had no issues getting through Friday's practice session and looks ready to play in Saturday's Stadium Series clash against Carolina. Washington head coach Peter Laviolette has refused to confirm Johansson's participation in the game, but it sure seems like he's good to go. Johansson's status for the match has been in doubt after he was injured late in the game Thursday against Florida. The 32-year-old has notched 12 goals and 28 points in 57 games this season. He's part of the first power-play unit, so having Johansson available would be a nice boost for the Capitals.
Washington Capitals winger Marcus Johansson suffered an apparent lower-body injury in Thursday's 6-3 loss to Florida. He left the game in the third period after a collision with Panthers defenseman Radko Gudas. This was an awful outing all around for Johansson, as he finished with a minus-three rating in 19:03 of ice time. He had one shot on goal, one block and one hit. Johansson, who has recorded 28 points in 57 games, is now in danger of missing his first contest of the season. Washington returns to action Saturday against Carolina.
Washington Capitals winger Marcus Johansson was injured in Friday's 4-1 win over Winnipeg when he took an awkward fall into the boards. The incident happened in the third period and Johansson ended up logging just 13:40 of ice time. He was plus-one for the game and had one hit. The 32-year-old has provided good depth scoring for Washington, having posted eight goals and eight assists in 36 outings. He has also been a big piece of the first power-play unit, so being without Johansson would be far from ideal for the Capitals. The severity of his injury is currently unclear.
Washington Capitals winger Marcus Johansson is set to be back on the first line Sunday against Minnesota. He has spent most of his time there since returning to Washington, but he was dropped to the third line at the start of the week. The move clearly didn't work out as the Capitals got hammered 6-1 by Carolina and Johansson is now back on the top line. The line tweaking has also led to Evgeny Kuznetsov and Nicklas Backstrom switching places, so Johansson is going to play with Backstrom and Alex Ovechkin. This is, of course, a meeting with his former team and Johansson might have something to prove after the Wild cut him loose after just one season.
Forward Marcus Johansson wound up with the expansion Seattle Kraken this season but always longed for playing in Washington again. On Monday, he got his wish, as the forward was traded back to the Capitals. The Swedish player has been besieged by injuries over the past several seasons and will not have to play as much, either. Johansson may see middle-six ice time with more man-advantage play. Being reunited with Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom cannot hurt Johansson, who had just seven goals and 16 assists in 51 games for Seattle this year.
Marcus Johansson Scores Late Game Winner In Win Wednesday
Seattle Kraken forward Marcus Johansson made the most of a late third-period scoring chances on Wednesday against the Carolina Hurricanes. With the score tied late, his wrist shot found its way past Carolina goaltender Frederik Andersen. The goal with 3:08 to go lifted Seattle to a home victory. Johansson had two shots on goal while playing 16:14 on the night. The forward notched his third goal of the season and now with his game-winning goal has six points in nine games. Johansson's injury history makes him risky to own in fantasy hockey league but may be worth it given the volume of injuries this season.
Seattle Kraken forward Marcus Johansson (lower body) was added to Injured Reserve on Wednesday after he got hurt in the team's first-ever regular-season game on Tuesday. Johansson went pointless in a 4-3 loss to Vegas but had a decent showing in 16:13 of ice time, firing off one shot and finishing with a plus-one rating for the night. He logged over two and a half minutes of power-play time and there will now be an opening on the second unit. The team recently picked up Alex Barre-Boulet and he could be in line for his team debut on Thursday at Nashville. Kole Lind has also been called up from the AHL.
Seattle Kraken forward Marcus Johansson has been cleared to play in the team's first-ever regular season game on Tuesday against the Golden Knights. Four Kraken players -- Calle Jarnkrok, Joonas Donskoi, Jared McCann and Jamie Oleksiak -- remain on the COVID-19 list. With the team short-handed, Johansson should feature heavily and he'll aim to bounce back from a rough last season. The 31-year-old posted only 14 points in 36 games for Minnesota in 2020-21. He was a 58-point guy for Washington not long ago, so there should still be some life left in him.
Minnesota Wild forward Marcus Johansson (upper body) will miss Saturday's home game against St. Louis with Nick Bjugstad coming in to replace him. The Swedish forward vacated a nice spot on the third line alongside Kevin Fiala and Victor Rask. Johansson had recorded 14 points in 31 games this season. Bjugstad has 15 points in 37 games. Fiala is a trigger-happy winger and Rask has a habit of getting hot from time to time, so Bjugstad should have chance to produce offense straight away.
Minnesota Wild forward Marcus Johansson, who has missed over a month of action with an upper-body injury, will finally return to the lineup on Monday against Anaheim. He last played on Feb.18 in a 3-1 win over the Ducks, missing 16 games. Johansson hasn't done much this season with three points in 11 games, but he has averaged a solid 0.56 points per game in his career. The Swedish veteran skated with Joel Eriksson-Ek and Jordan Greenway in Sunday's practice, but head coach Dean Evason hasn't committed to keeping the line together for Monday's outing. The duo has combined for 36 points this season, so Johansson instantly becomes an attractive fantasy piece if he sticks with them.
Minnesota Wild forward Marcus Johansson (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup for Sunday's clash with the Avalanche. The Swedish veteran logged only 9:15 in the first meeting between the two teams on Saturday, before joining fellow Wild forwards Mats Zuccarello (upper body), Marcus Foligno (COVID protocol), and Kevin Fiala (suspension) on the sidelines. Defenseman Matt Dumba (lower body) remains out as well with no timetable for his return. Johansson got injured at a very bad time, as he had just produced his best performance in a Wild uniform in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Kings with one goal and one assist, and had a great opportunity to start building some momentum with the team very thin upfront.
