2023 Fantasy Outlook
Johansson spent nearly all of last season with Colorado's AHL affiliate, playing well (14-9-2, 2.33 GAA, .920 save percentage) in the process. The 27-year-old Swede became an unrestricted free agent in July, ultimately signing a two-year, $1.55 deal with the Lightning to serve as the backup to Andrei Vasilevskiy. It's a gig veteran Brian Elliott has held the past couple seasons, and while Johansson is unproven at the NHL level, it would be pretty shocking if he doesn't prove to be an upgrade over Elliott. Of course, there's little fantasy value here unless Vasilevskiy gets injured. Read Past Outlooks

Johansson (lower body) may be an option during the postseason, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports Monday.
ANALYSIS
While having Johansson available to serve as the backup will certainly benefit the Lightning, the 28-year-old netminder shouldn't be expected to take the crease for the team any time soon unless Andrei Vasilevskiy suffers an injury. Johansson will end the regular season having made a career-high 26 appearances with a 12-7-5 record, a 3.37 GAA, an .890 save percentage and two shutouts.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Expected to start Thursday

Johansson is expected to get the road crease against the Islanders on Thursday, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.
ANALYSIS
This is no surprise as Andrei Vasilevskiy played Wednesday versus the Rangers. Johansson will make only his second start in the last 14 games. He has won his last two games, turning aside 52 of 56 shots in victories over Buffalo and Montreal. Johansson is 10-6-5 with a 3.34 GAA and an .894 save percentage, as he saw plenty of action in the first seven weeks of the season with Vasilevskiy out after having back surgery during training camp.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2020
2018
2017
Johansson is expected to be the No. 3 goalie for the Sabres in 2020-21 after recording a 2.28 GAA and a .921 save percentage in 22 games with AHL Rochester last year. He also appeared in six games at the NHL level, going 1-3-1 with a 2.94 GAA and an .894 save percentage. With Linus Ullmark and Carter Hutton occupying the top two spots on the depth chart, Johansson likely won't play unless one of the other two goalies picks up an injury. The 25-year-old Johansson could also get time in the minors to continue his development.
Johansson is a highly touted Swedish goalie who will battle for playing time with Scott Wedgewood and Adam Wilcox in the AHL. The 22-year-old goalie spent most of the previous season with ECHL Cincinnati, where he posted woeful numbers, including a 3.13 GAA and .909 save percentage. In seven games with AHL Rochester, he didn't fare any better, turning in a .861 save mark and 3.89 GAA. Johansson has to perform well in camp to win a job with AHL Rochester or otherwise return to the ECHL. The Sabres want Johansson to play a lot of games so they'll put him on a team where he can get a lot of starts.
The 2017-18 season will be Johansson's first full season in North America after splitting the season between Sweden and the AHL the previous season. The former third-round pick is believed to have the potential to be an NHL starter one day, but first needs to gain more experience and get used to the smaller rinks. Depending on his performance, Johansson will spend most of the season with either AHL Rochester or ECHL Elmira.
