Johansson was a late scratch from Saturday’s game and missed today’s practice as well. He is listed as day-to-day, so he could be back on the ice tomorrow, but as of now, his status for Tuesday’s game vs. Detroit is in doubt.
Johansson left the team’s afternoon practice in Winnipeg early, and Coach Barry Trotz said he would be a game-time decision for Saturday’s contest against the Jets. Stanislav Galiev skated in Johansson’s place on the second line, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that’s how Washington’s lineup will look if Johansson misses the game.
Johansson was listed as questionable for Game 4, after suffering an undisclosed injury in Monday’s practice. Johansson was in the morning skate and said that he will play tonight. Johansson has one goal and six shots on goal in the first three games of the series.
Johansson was nicked up in practice and left the session early. He is questionable for tomorrow, but the belief is that he will take part in warmups and be a game-time decision.
Johansson was skating with Nicklas Backstrom and Alex Ovechkin in the morning skate. That spot bas been a revolving door all season and Johansson looks like he will be the latest player to skate with Ovi and Backstrom. He has registered 29 points (13G / 16A) in 50 games this season.
Johansson left Friday's game after taking a Nicklas Backstom shot off of the wrist and did not return. He will miss the final game of the regular season and with the Capitals out of the playoffs, we won't see him until 2014-15. Peter LeBlanc has been recalled from Hershey with MJ90 out.
Sedin has been playing through a rib injury for much of the last month and was visibly in pain on the ice, prompting the Canucks to sit him out of their last two games before the break. It will be Johansson’s first Olympic appearance. is in his fourth NHL season and is steadily adding to his offensive totals again this year. In 58 games for the Capitals, Johansson has seven goals and 29 assists. His addition is the second injury replacement in a week that Sweden, favored to be medal contenders in Sochi, has needed to make for ailing veterans.
Johansson, 22, had six goals and 16 assists in 34 games last season. He had two points in seven Stanley Cup Playoff games. His best stretch of the season came in the second half, when he had 20 points in his last 22 games of the regular season. Much of that time was spent on Washington's top line alongside Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom.
We will keep you posted on any updates.
Johansson (upper-body) has been in-and-out of the Capitals lineup all season. He only has one goal and a minus--7 in nine games.
He was a healthy scratch in the Capitals last game vs. the Panthers so it is unknown how the injury happened but his day-to-day tag would indicate that the injury isn't serious. MJ90 has had a hard time staying in the Capitals lineup this year which has destroyed whatever fantasy value he had.
MJ90 isn't fantasy relevant until he gets back into the Capitals lineup and proves he can stay there.
Johansson has 0 points and is a -5 in 4 games this season, which could be the reason for the drop from the first line to healthy scratch in one week.
Johansson has a chance to have a good season. If Johansson can stick with Oveckin and Backstrom he could be a good addition to your fantasy team.
Johansson gets another crack at the top line. In his third season, MJ hopes to improve on the 46 points in 80 games he earned last season.
Johansson moves from the top line to the third.
Johansson moves back up to the top line. He has 13 goals and 42 points in 75 games.
