Johansson conceded five goals on 32 shots in Sunday's 7-4 loss to Winnipeg.
Johansson made just his third appearance and second start of the season Sunday. The 29-year-old allowed four goals at even strength and one on the power play. The Swedish netminder won't get many starts as long as Andrei Vasilevskiy is healthy. Johansson is 1-1-0 with a 4.51 GAA and .866 save percentage.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Nets first win of season
Rotowire
Johansson made 30 saves in an 8-5 win over New Jersey on Tuesday.
Johansson had made his season debut Monday after relieving starter Andrei Vasilevskiy, and Tuesday was a scheduled start in a back-to-back situation. He didn't really impress, but it's hard to lose when your mates gift you eight goals. Johansson is not likely to see much action this season, other than in back-to-backs. He'll win as long as the Bolts continue to paint goals on the board, but his ratios may leave a bad taste. Last year, Johansson played a lot early in the season and had a 12-7-5 record overall. But his ratios had an odor all season long.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Set to start Saturday
Rotowire
Johansson will guard the road goal in Saturday's preseason game against Nashville, per the NHL media site.
Johansson will look for a better showing after allowing seven goals on 26 shots in Wednesday's 8-7 win over Florida. Regardless of how he does in the preseason, though, Johansson is expected to start the campaign as Tampa Bay's No. 2 goaltender behind Andrei Vasilevskiy.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Recovering from quad tear
Rotowire
Johansson, who was previously listed as being out with a lower-body injury, sustained a quad tear March 30, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports Wednesday.
Johansson finished the campaign with a 12-7-5 record, 3.37 GAA and .890 save percentage across 26 regular-season appearances. He still has one season left on his two-year, $1.55 million contract, so the 28-year-old goaltender will likely remain on the Lightning roster in 2024-25 as the backup netminder behind Andrei Vasilevskiy.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Remains out for Game 2
Rotowire
Johansson (lower body) won't dress for Tuesday's Game 2 versus the Panthers, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Could return for postseason
Rotowire
Johansson (lower body) may be an option during the postseason, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports Monday.
While having Johansson available to serve as the backup will certainly benefit the Lightning, the 28-year-old netminder shouldn't be expected to take the crease for the team any time soon unless Andrei Vasilevskiy suffers an injury. Johansson will end the regular season having made a career-high 26 appearances with a 12-7-5 record, a 3.37 GAA, an .890 save percentage and two shutouts.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Still not skating
Rotowire
Johansson (lower body) has yet to start skating with the team, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports Thursday.
Considering the fact Johansson has been off the ice for over a week, fantasy players should probably consider him out indefinitely at this point. With just four regular-season games remaining, Johansson may not get back into action this year, as Andrei Vasilevskiy will no doubt take all the starts in the postseason, assuming he's healthy. Without Johansson in the lineup, Matt Tomkins will serve as the No. 2 option behind Vasi.

Head coach Jon Cooper confirmed Matt Tomkins to start for the Lightning against the Habs, per Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida, which further suggests Johansson is not ready to return from his lower-body issue.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Unavailable Wednesday
Rotowire
Johansson (lower body) isn't expected to be in the lineup Wednesday against Toronto, per Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.
Johansson is poised to miss his second straight contest, so the Lightning recalled Matt Tomkins from AHL Syracuse on Tuesday. The 28-year-old Johansson has a 12-7-5 record this season with a 3.37 GAA and an .890 save percentage through 26 games played. If Johansson is ruled out for Thursday's matchup versus Montreal, Tomkins may play in the second half of Tampa Bay's back-to-back.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Suffers lower-body injury
Rotowire
Johansson is considered day-to-day with a lower-body injury after missing practice Monday, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports.
Johansson was unlikely to get the start against Detroit on Monday even if healthy, so his absence shouldn't have a significant impact on the team or fantasy managers. The Lightning will need to recall another goalie ahead of the clash with the Red Wings, almost certainly to serve as the backup to Andrei Vasilevskiy.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Gets overtime win
Rotowire
Johansson made 30 saves on 32 shots in a 3-2 overtime win over the Ducks on Sunday.
Johansson allowed a goal late in the first period, was perfect in the second and then kicked aside every shot after Pavel Mintyukov got one by him in the third. In overtime, Johansson did not face a shot from Anaheim. This was Johansson's first start since Feb. 25, as starting netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy has been a workhorse for the Lightning. Look for Vasilevskiy to be back between the pipes when Tampa Bay hosts the Bruins on Wednesday.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Ready if needed
Rotowire
Johansson has not played since Feb. 25 against New Jersey.
That was the last time the Lightning had a back-to-back set of games. The team plays two games this weekend, and Andrei Vasilevskiy will see action in Saturday's road matchup against the Kings. No starter has been named for the team's game Sunday in Anaheim yet, but it could be Johansson's net if Tampa Bay decides to rest Vasilevskiy.
