Johnston registered an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Sharks.
Johnston stretched his season-opening point streak to four games (one goal, three assists) when he helped out on a Roope Hintz tally late in the second period. In addition to the steady offense, Johnston has six shots on net, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating while seeing time on both the first and third lines at various times. The 21-year-old forward had 65 points in 82 regular-season outings last year, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him come close to a point-per-game pace in 2024-25 given he plays a key role on a team that can produce goals in a variety of ways.
