On injured reserve Johansson has been put on injured reserve Thursday. It's suspected that he's dealing with a concussion, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Johansson was injured during Wednesday's 5-3 loss to Edmonton by an elbow from Connor McDavid. The 34-year-old Johansson will miss at least a week after being put on IR, which rules him out for Minnesota's upcoming games against Nashville on Saturday and Colorado on Monday. He has five goals and 16 points in 44 appearances in 2024-25.

Will miss time Johansson (upper body) is expected to miss time with the upper-body injury he suffered Wednesday versus the Oilers, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

Impact It's another injury on a growing list for the Wild, though they may get one of Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) or Jakub Lauko (lower body) back in the near future. Johansson doesn't have a specific timeline to return yet. If he needs a stint on injured reserve, he may be the corresponding move to free up a roster spot for one of those injured forwards, though the Wild may still need to make a call-up ahead of Saturday's game in Nashville.

Sustains injury Wednesday Johansson (upper body) will not finish Wednesday's game versus the Oilers.

Impact Johansson took an elbow to the head from Connor McDavid late in the second period, but there was no penalty on the play. Johansson's status will be in doubt for Saturday's game in Nashville, and if the forward doesn't travel for that contest, he may also miss Monday's game in Colorado.

One of each in Tuesday's win Johansson scored an empty-net goal on two shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Blues.

Impact Johansson has not found much success lately -- this was just his third multi-point effort of the season. Johansson has three points over his last four contest but endured an eight-game slump prior to that. Still, he's in a top-six role and on the second power-play unit, so he will maintain some appeal in deep formats. The 34-year-old forward has 16 points, 67 shots on net, 23 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 40 appearances this season.

Breaks slump Tuesday Johansson provided a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Predators.

Impact Johansson snapped an eight-game point drought -- during which he went minus-7 with 11 shots on net -- when he helped out on Declan Chisholm's second-period tally. The 34-year-old Johansson has had positive moments in 2024-25, but he likely won't be sad to move on to January after an inconsistent December. He could get a boost with Joel Eriksson Ek back from injury and playing on the second line. Johansson has 14 points, 62 shots on net, 23 hits and a minus-4 rating through 37 appearances this season, a pace nearly identical to the one he had in a 30-point effort across 78 games in 2023-24.

Erupts for three points Johansson scored a goal on two shots, added two assists and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over Utah.

Impact Johansson had gone four games without a point entering Tuesday. He buried a goal on a scramble in front of the net at 5:39 of the third period, and he also had primary assists on goals by Kirill Kaprizov and Marco Rossi. Johansson is rarely explosive on offense -- this was just his second multi-point effort of the campaign. The veteran forward has four goals, eight helpers, 48 shots on net, 19 hits and a plus-5 rating through 27 appearances.

Stays warm in loss Johansson produced an assist and four shots on goal in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Jets.

Impact Johansson has two goals and two helpers during his active four-game point streak. The 34-year-old forward has added 17 shots on net in that span, matching his shot total from the previous 12 contests. He's up to eight points, 40 shots on net, 16 hits and a plus-1 rating through 20 appearances. Johansson's worth a look as an offense-only option in fantasy as long as he's playing a more active style.

Steps up in shootout loss Johansson scored a goal on a game-high eight shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flames.

Impact Johansson has scored in back-to-back contests, but no one saw an eight-shot game coming from the 34-year-old. He's picked up four points over his last five contests, and his contributions will be a big help as the Wild try to navigate the absence of Kirill Kaprizov (lower body). Johansson has produced seven points, 36 shots on net, 16 hits and a plus-1 rating over 19 appearances, but a larger role may be just what he needs to be more productive on offense.

Pots goal Thursday Johansson scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Oilers.

Impact Johansson is picking up the pace on offense with three points over his last four contests. The goal was his first since Oct. 21 versus the Panthers. The 34-year-old winger is seeing steady time on the second line, though he's taken on a larger role while Mats Zuccarello (lower body) is out of the lineup. Johansson has six points, 28 shots on net, 16 hits and a plus-1 rating through 18 appearances. He may be an option in deeper fantasy formats for managers who aren't in need of non-scoring production.

Breaks pointless run Johansson had an assist, two shots on net and one hit in Thursday's 3-0 win over Montreal.

Impact Johansson was the middle skater in a pretty passing sequence that began with Kirill Kaprizov and ended with Matt Boldy's 10th goal of the season. The assist snapped a nine-game pointless stretch, during which Johansson had just 10 shots on net. One might assume skating on the second line with Boldy would prevent nine-game pointless runs, but it apparently took a shift with Kaprizov to make it back to the scoresheet. Both Joel Eriksson Ek and Mats Zuccarello left the game with a lower-body injuries, which could shake up the top-six and power-play units when Minnesota hosts Dallas on Saturday.

Expected back versus Habs Johansson (illness) is set to play in Thursday's matchup with Montreal, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

Impact Johansson remains stuck in a nine-game pointless streak dating back to his lone goal of the season scored against the Panthers on Oct. 22. The veteran winger should slot into a second-line role playing alongside Joel Eriksson Ek and Matt Boldy -- an assignment that should get him out of his funk sooner rather than later.

Not practicing Wednesday Johansson didn't participate in Wednesday's practice session due to an illness, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Johansson has appeared in each of the Wild's last 11 games, but it's unclear whether his illness will impact his availability for Thursday's home game against the Canadiens. Across 14 appearances this year, Johansson has totaled a goal, three points, 11 hits and six blocked shots while averaging 14:56 of ice time. If he's unavailable Thursday, Michael Milne could draw into the lineup.

Tallies in win Johansson scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Panthers.

Impact Johansson's first goal of the season snapped a three-game dry spell for the winger. The 34-year-old has held down a middle-six role with power-play time, but he's had little impact on offense. Johansson is at three points, 10 shots on net, six hits and a plus-2 rating over five appearances this season, and it's unlikely he keeps up that level of physical play in the long run.
