• Wild's Marcus Johansson: Erupts for three points

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Johansson scored a goal on two shots, added two assists and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over Utah. Johansson had gone four games without a point entering Tuesday. He buried a goal on a scramble in front of the net at 5:39 of the third period, and he also had primary assists on goals by Kirill Kaprizov and Marco Rossi. Johansson is rarely explosive on offense -- this was just his second multi-point effort of the campaign. The veteran forward has four goals, eight helpers, 48 shots on net, 19 hits and a plus-5 rating through 27 appearances.

• Wild's Marcus Johansson: Stays warm in loss

  23D ago • By RotoWire

  Johansson produced an assist and four shots on goal in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Jets. Johansson has two goals and two helpers during his active four-game point streak. The 34-year-old forward has added 17 shots on net in that span, matching his shot total from the previous 12 contests. He's up to eight points, 40 shots on net, 16 hits and a plus-1 rating through 20 appearances. Johansson's worth a look as an offense-only option in fantasy as long as he's playing a more active style.

• Wild's Marcus Johansson: Steps up in shootout loss

  25D ago • By RotoWire

  Johansson scored a goal on a game-high eight shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flames. Johansson has scored in back-to-back games, but no one saw an eight-shot game coming from the 34-year-old. He's picked up four points over his last five contests, and his contributions will be a big help as the Wild try to navigate the absence of Kirill Kaprizov (lower body). Johansson has produced seven points, 36 shots on net, 16 hits and a plus-1 rating over 19 appearances, but a larger role may be just what he needs to be more productive on offense.

• Wild's Marcus Johansson: Pots goal Thursday

  27D ago • By RotoWire

  Johansson scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Oilers. Johansson is picking up the pace on offense with three points over his last four contests. The goal was his first since Oct. 21 versus the Panthers. The 34-year-old winger is seeing steady time on the second line, though he's taken on a larger role while Mats Zuccarello (lower body) is out of the lineup. Johansson has six points, 28 shots on net, 16 hits and a plus-1 rating through 18 appearances. He may be an option in deeper fantasy formats for managers who aren't in need of non-scoring production.

• Wild's Marcus Johansson: Breaks pointless run

  11/15/2024 • By RotoWire

  Johansson had an assist, two shots on net and one hit in Thursday's 3-0 win over Montreal. Johansson was the middle skater in a pretty passing sequence that began with Kirill Kaprizov and ended with Matt Boldy's 10th goal of the season. The assist snapped a nine-game pointless stretch, during which Johansson had just 10 shots on net. One might assume skating on the second line with Boldy would prevent nine-game pointless runs, but it apparently took a shift with Kaprizov to make it back to the scoresheet. Both Joel Eriksson Ek and Mats Zuccarello left the game with a lower-body injuries, which could shake up the top-six and power-play units when Minnesota hosts Dallas on Saturday.
