Johnson left after his first shift in his second game back on Friday. Johnson had previously missed three games with an injury and now it looks like he could be back out of the lineup on Saturday. If Johnson can’t play, look for Mike Angelidis to bin the lineup.

On Tuesday, Johnson centred the Lightning’s second line with Nikita Kucherov and Vladislav Namestnikov on his wings. After the practice session he said he is feeling good and optimistic that he will play on Wednesday. Monitor his status during the morning skate, but it looks like he will return after missing the last three games.

Johnson will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury. Johnson remains day-to-day and his next chance to return to the Lightning lineup is Saturday vs. the Anaheim Ducks.

Johnson was hit high and hard by Panthers’ forward Dave Bolland on Saturday. He has been ruled out of tonight’s game, but the Lightning say it is not concussion related and he is not expected to miss an extended period of time. With Johnson out, Jonathan Marchessault will play.

Johnson has been banged up and missed Monday’s practice, but was back on the ice this morning. Johnson should be good to go when the Lightning open the season on Thursday. He will look to build off of a fantastic 2014-15 season.

Johnson was injured in Saturday’s preseason finale. He played just two shifts in the second period before exiting the game with an undisclosed injury. Johnson’s injury is not considered serious and he could be ready for the season opener.

Johnson skated in the Lightning’s morning skate, but will be held out for a third consecutive game because of an undisclosed injury. Johnson remains day-to-day, so monitor his status prior to Saturday’s game in Florida.

There is no word when Johnson suffered the injury, but he will not play on Monday and is listed as day-to-day.

Johnson was a full participant in practice on Monday despite missing the All Star game this weekend with a lower-body injury. His availability this afternoon is a good sign that Johnson will play tomorrow vs. the Hurricanes.

Johnson skated in the morning with a no-contact jersey and coach Jon Cooper said he thinks Johnson would be back before the All Star break. He never formally ruled him out, but all signs pointed towards him not playing. To no one’s surprise, Johnson recorded two assists, giving him four goals and seven assists (11 points) in his last seven games.

Johnson will miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury, but head coach Jon Cooper is hopeful he will have his leading scorer back in the next two games before the All Star break.

It is a good sign that Johnson is on the ice for the morning skate, but the no contact sweater suggests that he will not be in the lineup tonight vs. Edmonton.

Johnson was injured in the Lightning’s loss last night and will not play tonight vs. the Bruins. He will be replaced by Vladislav Namestnikov, who was recalled this morning. Monitor his status prior to Thursday’s game vs. Edmonton.
