Johnson has two goals, one assist, 25 PIMs and 18 SOG through 23 games this season and will draw back into Chicago's lineup Tuesday as they face the Carolina Hurricanes.
Johnson has split the 2021-22 season between the AHL and NHL, scoring one goal with five assists (six points) in 29 games with the Blackhawks. The deal is one-way, so it seems like Johnson will be with the Blackhawks to start the 2022-23 season.
Johnson was a healthy scratch in Vancouver but will replace Philipp Kurashev in the lineup in Calgary. Johnson has no points and a minus-5 rating in 10 games this season.
Johnson has scored one goal and one assist in five AHL games this season. He returns to the Blackhawks, where he has failed to register a point in six games.
