Rotowire
Johansson (lower body) will be a game-time decision ahead of Thursday's clash with Detroit, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

He's up to seven goals, including two game-winners, and 16 points through 19 appearances while averaging 15:57 of ice time. There will be regression -- he's shooting 23.3 percent, by far a career-high mark.

Rotowire
Johansson picked up an assist Thursday in a 4-3 loss against the Hurricanes.
Johansson has nine points (five goals, four assists) in a seven-game point streak. At 35, the Swede's game has slowed, but it helps to skate with Kirill Kaprizov and Marco Rossi. Johansson is a great fantasy play right now. He has six goals, seven assists and 26 shots in 15 games, but the pace will slow -- his 23.1 shooting percentage is almost double his career mark of 12.4.
