Johnston (undisclosed), as expected, will be in the lineup to face Nashville on Thursday, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports.
Johnston has yet to miss a game in his NHL career and will continue that streak heading into the 2024-25 campaign. The 21-year-old center looks set for a third-line role versus the Predators but should still see time with the No. 1 power-play unit. As such, Johnston should still offer top-half fantasy value given his offensive upside.
