With Tuukka Rask in net on Monday, Johnson gets 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 has some spot start value tonight vs. the Rangers 26th ranked offence.
Johnson gave up three goals on 34 shots in a loss to the Islanders on November 2. In two starts he is 1-1-0 with a 2.53 GAA and .900 SV%. Johnson has a great matchup tonight when the Bruins host a Blue Jackets team who have lost six out of their last seven.

In his first start this season he had it easy. Johnson took on the Sabres, who only threw 16 shots his way - Johnson stopped 14 of them in a 5-2 win. Tonight he would take on the Islanders who fired 57 shots at Robin Lehner last night.
The Bruins do not have a back-to-back so it would be surprising if Johnson starts over Rask. That being said, the goalie who leaves the ice first gets the start the vast majority of the time - so it looks like it will be Johnson. In his first start this season he had it easy. He took on the Sabres, who only threw 16 shots his way - Johnson stopped 14 of them in a 5-2 win. Tonight he would take on the Islanders who fired 57 shots at Robin Lehner last night.
Johnson turned aside 14 of 16 shots he faced in a win over Buffalo on October 23rd. Tonight Johnson will make his second start of the season against a high-powered Ducks offence.
Johnson went 2-0-2 with a 1.21 GAA and .954 SV% in four appearances with the Coyotes last season. For a bigger sample size he was 16-15-1 with a 3.00 GAA and .903 SV% with the Portland Pirates (AHL). He won't see a lot of starts behind the workhorse Tuukka Rask, but he could make for a solid spot start on a quiet night in the NHL vs. a 1-8-1 Sabres team.
I fully expect Johnson to start against Buffalo and for the Bruins to save Tuukka Rask for the much tougher test on Thursday vs. San Jose. If Johnson does start, he would make for a solid spot start on a quiet night in the NHL (2 games).
Johnson is not fantasy relevant.
Johnson will be in-line for a difficult matchup vs. the Blues.
No word on why Johnson has been recalled yet.
Johnson recorded a win while stopping 34 of 36 shots vs. the Red Wings on Thursday. He was not supposed to get the start but LaBarbera was forced out of the starting lineup because of an illness. With Mike Smith returning from injury, Johnson's services are no longer needed.
Johnson gets the start. Johnson is 1-0-1 this season. 0.98 GAA and .952% with shutout.
Johnson likely won't have any fantasy relevance unless Smith misses an extended period of time. However that does not appear to be the case.
Johnson posted a shutout in his first start and only allowed 2 goals on 21 shots. He had a 0.98 GAA and .952 SV% in his short stint in the NHL. He will return to the AHL for some more seasoning.
Johnson is coming off a shutout in his first game for the Coyotes but should only be viewed as a spot starter at this point.
Johnson was recalled by Phoenix last Thursday and will make his first start of the season tonight and the 7th of his career. Johnson, who had a 2.80 GAA and .912 save percentage in 24 games this year in the AHL.
No fantasy value even while Smith is out.
Johnson comes up to backup Martin Biron tonight. He is not expected to play barring a blowout.
Johnson's recall indicates either Martin Biron or Henrik Lundqvist is hurt tonight. We're guessing the latter.
