Johansson (upper-body) is expected to play on Saturday.

Johansson was forced to leave Thursday's opening night win against the Panthers, but head coach Dean Evason said that he cleared all the necessary tests and participated in Friday's practice. Expect Johansson to remain on a line with Joel Eriksson Ek and Matt Boldy on Saturday.

Johansson (upper-body) left Thursday's game and did not return.

Johansson left Thursday's win over the Panthers after getting clipped by an elbow by Uvis Balinskis. Post-game, the Wild did not have an update on Johansson's status and said that he'll be re-evaluated on Friday. If Johansson isn't available on Saturday, expect them to dress seven defensemen because they don't have a reserve forward on the roster and no cap space to bring one up (without having to waive Dakota Mermis).

Johansson (upper-body) is expected to play in Game 1 in Dallas.

Johansson suffered an injury vs. the Jets last Tuesday and missed Thursday's season finale in Nashville. Over the weekend, he was back on the ice, skating on a line with Frederick Gaudreau and Matt Boldy. The veteran winger has been great since joining the Wild, picking up 18 points (6G / 12A) in 20 games.
