Creates three chances in 1-0 defeat Johnston had one shot (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate), and three chances created in Wednesday's 1-0 loss against Belgium.
Impact Johnston turned in a fantastic stat line with plenty of offensive numbers despite official slotting at center-back. The Maple Leafs lost this one after all versus a very potent offense but were overall impressive defensively and the defender should hold some upside in most formats versus the far more inept Morocco and Croatia.
