Blackhawks' Tyler Johnson: Nets goal in overtime loss
Rotowire
Johnson scored a goal on five shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Jets.
Johnson was able to force overtime by scoring the tying goal with 43 seconds left in the third period.

Blackhawks' Tyler Johnson: Reaches 10-goal mark
Rotowire
Johnson scored a power-play goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Canucks.

Johnson is at 10 goals, four assists, 64 shots on net and a minus-17 rating through 38 appearances this season. He's a likely trade candidate, though the Blackhawks will likely need to retain at least some of his $5 million cap hit to make a deal with a contender work.
