Johansson will start in Chicago on Friday.

Johansson will get the nod in the front-end of Tampa Bay's back-to-back when they travel to Chicago to take on the Blackhawks on Friday. Johansson struggled his last time out, allowing four goals on 27 shots in a 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs on Monday. The Lightning backup owns a 5-4-1 record and an .899 SV% on the season. He's got a great chance of getting back in the win column on Friday as the Lightning enter action at -225 on the money line.

The 30-year-old netminder has a 2.35 GAA and .915 SV% in 35 games this season (20-13-2).
