Chad Johnson News
Johnson starts for the Bruins this afternoon.

Johnson stopped 20 of 22 shots in a win over the Panthers last Sunday. Johnson is 13-3-1 with a 2.22 GAA and .919 SV% as the B's backup this season. He has developed into one of the best spot-start options in fantasy this season. He should make for another good start this afternoon vs. Carolina.

Bruins expected to start Johnson in second game of the back-to-back set.

Tuukka Rask stopped 35 shots last night, so after a busy night it would make sense for the B's to turn to Johnson tonight. He has won four of his last five starts with a 2.00 GAA and .918 SV%. He will need to be great again tonight as he likely goes head-to-head with Mike Smith, who is one of the hottest goalies in the NHL right now.

Johnson stopped 23 of 24 shots in a win over the Panthers on Tuesday. With Tuukka Rask getting the call last night, Johnson will get another crack at the Panthers tonight. However, this time around Roberto Luongo will be standing at the opposite end of the ice. If you are in need of a spot-start, Johnson looks like your only option.

Johnson allowed two goals on 34 shots in a win of the Stars on Thursday. It was a strong outing for the B's number-2 and he will need a similar effort today when he goes head-to-head with Jonathan Quick. He would make for a risky spot-start behind a severely banged up blue line.

Johnson allowed two goals on 32 shots in a win over the Maple Leafs on Sunday. He has one each of his last four starts and draws a solid matchup against the Oilers. However, Edmonton also represents a risky spot-start as they have shown that they can light the lamp at any time.

Johnson was the first off at an optional skate, read into that what you will.

With Tuukka Rask taking on the Rangers on Friday, Johnson should get the start tonight and being first off would suggest that he will, but nothing is confirmed. He surrendered two goals on 24 shots in a win over the Hurricanes last Saturday. The W moved him to 3-1-0 with a 2.21 GAA and .917 SV%. He has already beat Columbus this season, so if he starts, he is worth spot-start consideration.

Johnson allowed two goals on 32 shots in a win over the Blue Jackets on November 14. It was his second win of the season, to go along with his 2.30 GAA and .917 SV%. Today he faces a Hurricanes team who have lost three straight. Every time he starts he has spot start value because the Bruins are a great team.

Rangers reporter jumped the gun on Johnson starting vs. his former team, Bruins won't disclose him or Tuukka Rask - We will make Johnson probable and confirm when Bruins announce starter.

With Tuukka Rask in net on Monday, Johnson may get the nod on Tuesday. In his last start he allowed two goals on 34 shots in a win over the Blue Jackets. He has very little fantasy value because Rask sees the vast majority of the Bruins starts, but he could have some spot start value tonight vs. the Rangers 26th ranked offence.
