Johnson was forced out of Chicago's game Sunday vs. Dallas due to an undisclosed injury and has been placed on the Injured Reserve. The 33-year-old veteran joins a long list of injuries out in Chicago after starting his season well with nine goals, 13 points, 16 PIMsand 58 SOG in 35 games played prior to the injury.
Johnson did not play in the Blackhawks' last game due to an undisclosed injury but will return to the lineup on Wednesday as Cole Guttman will be a healthy scratch. The 33-year-old Johnson has only one point (1G / 0A), a -4 plus/minus, and 15 shots in his last seven games.
Johnson did not travel with the team due to an undisclosed injury. He has seven goals and four assists in 32 games this season.
Johnson hasn't played since January 22nd due to an ankle injury but will return to the Blackhawks' lineup Tuesday. The 32-year-old was having a strong season prior to the injury, with five goals, nine assists, 38 SOG and eight PIMs through 22 games prior to the ankle injury.
Johnson was forced to leave the Blackhawks' previous game after just five shifts and 4:07 TOI due to re-aggravating the ankle injury which caused him to miss 20 games earlier in the season. He is expected to miss the teams' upcoming three-game road trip but will hope to return and add to the five goals, nine assists, 38 SOG and eight PIMs through 22 games he had collected prior to his injury.
Johnson was placed on the injured reserve on Oct. 27th due to an ankle injury but will return Tuesday on a line with Jason Dickinson and Jujhar Khaira. The 32-year-old was having his best season to date, with two goals, four assists and 12 SOG through six games prior to the injury.
Johnson suffered a right ankle injury vs. the Panthers on Tuesday and will miss at least one week after landing on IR. The Blackhawks have not released a timetable for his return. Jujhar Khaira moved up into the Blackhawks' top-6 in Thursday's practice.
Johnson was scratched Thursday but will play against his former team on Friday. Johnson recently returned from a lengthy injury absence, so the Blackhawks were likely just being cautious with him with games on back-to-back nights.
Johnson has missed the last six games with a concussion that he suffered in Ottawa on March 12th. Johnson will likely replace Reese Johnson in the lineup.
Johnson's move to IR is retroactive to March 12th, so he's eligible to return whenever he's back to 100 percent. In addition to Johnson, Connor Murphy (concussion) was also placed on IR on Friday.
Johnson has been out since October 29th with a neck injury, which he underwent surgery for in early December. Johnson had one goal and two assists in eight games before getting hurt. He'll return on a line with Jonathan Toews and Alex DeBrincat.
Johnson had ADR disc replacement surgery, the same surgery as Jack Eichel had. Johnson is expected to miss approximately three months, which means we won't see him until early-March.
