Senators' Jonas Johansson: Dealt to Ottawa
Johansson was traded to the Senators from the Lightning on Friday in exchange for future considerations.
Johansson cleared waivers Thursday, and now the Lightning have found a trade partner to give him a fresh start. Since he has already cleared waivers, Johansson is likely to start 2026-27 with AHL Belleville. He'll be first in line for a call-up if Linus Ullmark or Samuel Ersson becomes unavailable for any reason.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Formally waived
Johansson has been designated for waivers by the Lightning on Wednesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Tampa Bay has been trying to trade Johansson as he no longer fits into the team's plans. He's a well-traveled veteran presence who could still catch on elsewhere as a depth option, but he could begin the 2026-27 campaign in the minors.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Not in Tampa's plans
Johansson is not expected to serve as the backup for the Lightning this season, with that role going to Dennis Hildeby, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports Wednesday.
According to general manager Julian Brisebois, the team is working with Johansson's agent to find him a better landing spot that would include playing time and could help the Lightning shed his $1.25 million cap hit. The 30-year-old backstop saw action in 25 regular-season games last year, going 11-10-2 with a 3.29 GAA and .884 save percentage.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Will suit up Sunday
Johansson (undisclosed) took the ice for warmups and will suit up as the backup for Sunday's Game 1 against the Canadiens, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.
Johansson did not dress in the Lightning's final two regular-season games due to an undisclosed injury, but he is good to go for the beginning of the postseason. The 30-year-old is clearly entrenched as the backup behind Andrei Vasilevskiy heading into Tampa Bay's first-round series against the Canadiens. Johansson went 11-10-2 with a 3.29 GAA and an .884 save percentage during the regular season.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Out of action Wednesday
Johansson (undisclosed) won't suit up Wednesday versus the Rangers, Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley reports.
Johansson will be out for a second straight game. The 30-year-old netminder will have his next chance to return in Game 1 of the playoffs versus the Canadiens. Johansson will likely be the backup once he's healthy, as Andrei Vasilevskiy will see the vast majority of the playing time for the Lightning's postseason run.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Unavailable Monday
Johansson (undisclosed) will not be an option for Monday's home game against Detroit and is day-to-day, according to Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.
Emergency backup goaltender Kyle Konin will serve as the No. 2 option behind Andrei Vasilevskiy on Monday. Tampa Bay's final regular-season game is at home Wednesday versus the Rangers.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Game closer than score indicates
Johansson made 25 saves in a 6-2 loss to Ottawa on Tuesday. He allowed five goals.
The game was tight well into the third -- the score was just 3-2 at the midpoint of the frame, and then the Sens took charge. The Bolts challenged a Tim Stutzle goal for goalie interference, but it was upheld, and then the Sens capitalized on the ensuing power play to push the game to 5-2. Johansson could get more playing time before season's end in order to give Andrei Vasilevskiy a rest prior to the postseason. In theory, the Bolts are good enough to win with Johansson in net, so consider him for spot starts.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Patrolling road crease
Johansson will draw the road start in Tuesday's clash against the Senators, per Julian McKenzie of The Athletic.
Johansson will look to start a win streak in Tuesday's contest after picking up a victory in his last appearance against Nashville on March 29. Overall, the 30-year-old netminder has an 11-9-2 record, a 3.21 GAA and an .886 save percentage across 24 appearances this season. He'll face off against the Senators, who should pose a decent challenge with the league's eighth-best 3.31 goals per game this season.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Gets rare start Sunday
Johansson will tend the goal Sunday against the Predators, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
Johansson will get just his third start in Tampa Bay's 15 games during the month of March. The 30-year-old hasn't picked up a win since Jan. 12, posting a record of 0-3-1 in his last four starts. He is 10-9-2 on the season with a 3.26 GAA and an .883 save percentage. After a five-game win streak, the Predators have taken losses in back-to-back games while scoring only three goals over those two contests.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Earns win in spot start
Johansson stopped 29 of 31 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Predators.
Johansson was beaten in the second and third periods, but overall, he looked competent between the pipes and did enough to support Tampa Bay's comeback in the final frame. Johansson earned his first win since Jan. 12, but given that he rarely suits up for the Bolts, he's not a player to target in most fantasy formats -- even in games where Andrei Vasilevskiy gets a breather.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Concedes four goals Sunday
Johansson stopped 25 of 29 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Flames.
Johansson wasn't able to finish off a perfect road trip for the Lightning, but he at least got them one standings point with a lockdown third period. He is winless over his last five outings, giving up 24 goals on 154 shots in that span. For the season, the veteran backup is 10-9-2 with a 3.26 GAA and an .883 save percentage over 23 appearances. The Lightning are likely to turn back to Andrei Vasilevskiy at home Tuesday versus the Wild, but with a back-to-back coming up over the weekend, Johansson shouldn't have to wait long for his next start.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Set to start in Calgary
Johansson will guard the road net Sunday against the Flames, Ryan Pike of Flames Nation reports.
Johansson hasn't played since March 8 against the Sabres -- he conceded eight goals on 42 shots during an 8-7 loss in that game. The Swedish netminder has a 10-9-1 record, 3.23 GAA and .884 save percentage through 22 appearances this season. The Flames have won back-to-back games against the Blues and Panthers.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Concedes eight in goalfest
Johansson stopped 34 of 42 shots in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Sabres.
Conceding eight goals is far from ideal, as Johansson only posted an .810 save percentage in one of the highest-scoring games of the 2025-26 NHL season so far. Johansson has appeared in six games (five starts) since the beginning of January, going 2-3-0 with a 4.35 GAA and an .855 save percentage. He's firmly entrenched as the Lightning's No. 2 option between the pipes behind Andrei Vasilevskiy, so he's not going to have a lot of upside in most fantasy formats. Even when Johansson is scheduled to start, he's a matchup-based, streaming-only option.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Between pipes Sunday
Johansson will guard the road goal against the Sabres on Sunday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
Johansson will get the second half of Tampa Bay's back-to-back after Andrei Vasilevskiy played in Saturday's 5-2 win over Toronto. The 30-year-old Johansson has gone 10-8-1 this campaign with a 2.98 GAA and an .890 save percentage across 21 appearances. Buffalo ranks seventh in the league with 3.40 goals per game this season.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Solid in relief
Johansson made 20 saves on 21 shots in relief during a 6-2 loss to the Sabres on Saturday.
The Lightning had no compete and little focus Saturday, so netminding was an adventure behind them. Andrei Vasilevskiy allowed five goals on 14 shots, and head coach Jon Cooper yanked him to prove a point. Johansson was solid, but it won't earn him more time in the net. Tampa Bay is four points ahead of Buffalo and five ahead of Montreal for the top spot in the Atlantic Division, which will result in more playing time for Vasilevskiy.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Can't overcome rough start
Johansson made 28 saves in a 5-4 loss to Carolina on Thursday.
Johansson got off to a rough start, allowing three goals in the first 10 minutes of the game. He has lost his last two games and allowed 11 goals in that span. Starter Andrei Vasilevskiy is well rested, so don't expect Johansson to see too much time in the blue paint.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Tending twine Thursday
Johansson will protect the road goal versus the Hurricanes on Thursday, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.
Johansson will handle the second half of a back-to-back after Andrei Vasilevskiy earned a 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs on Wednesday. Johansson played just three times in January, allowing 10 goals on 70 shots. He's got a tough matchup ahead, especially since he hasn't played since Jan. 24.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: First loss in four starts
Johansson made 23 saves on 29 shots in Saturday's 8-5 loss to Columbus. The Blue Jackets added two empty-netters in the third period.
Columbus scored four goals in the first period and had two more in the second. It was Johansson's first loss in four games, but that's all he'd played since the holiday break in December. He is 10-7-1 with a 2.91 GAA and an .890 save percentage in 19 appearances this season.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Guarding road goal
Johansson is set to start on the road against Columbus on Saturday, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.
Johansson will be making his first start since Jan. 12. He will get the second half of Tampa Bay's back-to-back, but has played sparingly behind Andrei Vasilevskiy. Johansson has a 10-6-1 record, 2.73 GAA and .896 save percentage in 18 outings this campaign. Columbus has won five of its past six games, outscoring the competition 18-12 across that stretch.
