Penguins' Adam Johnson: Game-time decision versus Flyers
Johnson (upper body) will be a game-time call against Philadelphia on Tuesday, Sam Kasan of Pens Inside Scoop reports.
Even if Johnson is fully fit, he may not crack the lineup depending on the availability of Alex Galchenyuk (lower body).

Johnson (upper body) won't play in Saturday's game against the Stars, Seth Rorabaugh of The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

Coach Mike Sullivan said Johnson (lower body) was cleared to play, but was assigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Sunday, Seth Rorabaugh of The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.
Johnson was originally injured during training camp, and was trending toward a placement on non-roster injured reserve. As evidenced by this news, Johnson is all-clear, but won't start the season with the big club.

Penguins' Adam Johnson: Out indefinitely
Johnson is dealing with a lower-body injury and doesn't have a timeline to get back onto the ice, Josh Getzoff of PensTV reports.
Johnson was injured during training camp, which means he will almost certainly begin the year on non-roster injured reserve. Once given the green light to resume playing, the center will be headed down to the minors, where he figures to spend the bulk of the 2019-20 campaign. With 43 points in 67 minor-league games last season, the 25-year-old might be worth considering as a stash option in deeper dynasty formats, but otherwise won't offer much in terms of fantasy value.
