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: Steps up in shootout loss
Marcus 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 Minnesota 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
Marcus 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
Marcus 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.

Wild's Marcus Johansson: Expected back versus Habs
Marcus Johansson (illness) is set to play in Thursday's matchup with Montreal, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.Johansson remains stuck in a nine-game pointless streak dating back to his lone goal of the season scored against the Panthers on Oct. 22. The veteran winger should slot into a second-line role playing alongside Joel Eriksson Ek and Matt Boldy -- an assignment that should get him out of his funk sooner rather than later.

Wild's Marcus Johansson: Not practicing Wednesday
Marcus Johansson didn't participate in Wednesday's practice session due to an illness, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.Johansson has appeared in each of the Minnesota Wild's last 11 games, but it's unclear whether his illness will impact his availability for Thursday's home game against the Canadiens. Across 14 appearances this year, Johansson has totaled a goal, three points, 11 hits and six blocked shots while averaging 14:56 of ice time. If he's unavailable Thursday, Michael Milne could draw into the lineup.

Wild's Marcus Johansson: Tallies in win
Marcus Johansson scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Panthers.Johansson's first goal of the season snapped a three-game dry spell for the winger. The 34-year-old has held down a middle-six role with power-play time, but he's had little impact on offense. Johansson is at three points, 10 shots on net, six hits and a plus-2 rating over five appearances this season, and it's unlikely he keeps up that level of physical play in the long run.
