Erik Johnson - NHL News & Rumors

Waiting for opportunity again Johnson was scratched for the 10th game in a row when he sat out Thursday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

Impact This is Johnson's longest stretch in the press box. He played regularly when Cam York and Jamie Drysdale were both hurt, but they're now healthy. Head coach John Tortorella is also giving long looks to Emil Andrae and Egor Zamula, which has left no room for Johnson to check into the lineup. The 36-year-old has two points, five shots on net, nine PIM, 10 blocked shots and 23 hits over 15 outings.

Helps out on penalty kill Johnson logged an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Flames.

Impact Johnson's assist came on a shorthanded tally by Travis Konecny in the second period. The 36-year-old Johnson appears to have the trust of head coach John Tortorella in a third-pairing role. Last season, Johnson managed just six points over 67 regular-season games between Buffalo and Philadelphia, though he also had 143 hits and 97 blocked shots. The veteran defenseman will play a limited role in 2024-25 and does not need to be tracked closely in fantasy.
