Doesn't finish game Johansson (undisclosed) didn't finish Thursday's Game 3 versus the Golden Knights, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Russo notes Johansson took some heavy hits in the contest. The 34-year-old winger can be considered day-to-day heading into Saturday's Game 4, which starts at 4 p.m. Eastern. The Wild have already made their Black Aces call-ups, so they have plenty of options available if Johansson can't suit up.

Bends twine in high-scoring win Johansson scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 8-7 overtime win over the Sharks.

Impact Johansson made an early impact, tying the game at 1-1 in the first period. The winger was down on the third line Wednesday following the returns of Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) and Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body). That shift in usage will hurt Johansson's scoring in the last week of the season, and he doesn't make up for it with production in other areas. While he has seven points over his last eight games, he may struggle to close out 2024-25. He's managed 10 goals, 32 points, 114 shots on net, 45 hits and a minus-8 rating across 69 outings this season.

He's added 109 shots on net, 44 hits, 24 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating in 2024-25, so he shouldn't be relied on for non-scoring production.

He's got two goals and five helpers over that stretch, but given that he's posted only 25 points throughout the season, he seems to be trending in the right direction.
