Senators' Jonas Johansson: Pulled in second period
Rotowire
Johansson stopped 12 of 16 shots in Thursday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Kings.
Johansson lasted just past the halfway mark of regulation before he was pulled amid a flurry of goals by the Kings. He was ultimately spared from taking the loss as the Senators overcame the deficit he created before losing in overtime. Johansson has allowed 10 goals on 72 shots across three appearances since getting the call-up from AHL Belleville to replace the injured Linus Ullmark (lower body). With this performance, Johansson will likely have to settle for backup duties Saturday versus the Sharks, though the Senators are back in action Sunday versus the Ducks. Johansson will need to make a stronger case for himself in any future starts if he wants to remain in the NHL once Ullmark is healthy.

Senators' Jonas Johansson: Decent effort in loss
Rotowire
Johansson stopped 25 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights. The last two goals were empty-netters.
Johansson did his part to keep the game close until Vegas cashed in twice when he had left the crease for an extra attacker. The 31-year-old netminder is getting a chance to start while Linus Ullmark (lower body) is out. Johansson has allowed six goals on 55 shots over his two outings this season. The Senators visit the Kings on Thursday and then have a back-to-back with stops in San Jose on Saturday and Anaheim on Sunday, so expect Johansson and Samuel Ersson to share the workload for the remainder of the road trip.

Senators' Jonas Johansson: Earns win in Senators debut
Rotowire
Johansson stopped 24 of 28 shots in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Rangers. He also recorded an assist on an empty-net goal.
Johansson relied on the Senators' scoring prowess to get the win in his 2026-27 debut, as he posted a single-game save percentage of just .857 while allowing four goals. His fantasy appeal remains dependent on earning additional starts and improving his efficiency, but as of now, he profiles primarily as a depth option behind Samuel Ersson due to the absence of Linus Ullmark (lower body).

Senators' Jonas Johansson: Called up by Ottawa
Rotowire
Johansson was recalled from AHL Belleville on Thursday, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.
Johansson was sent down by the Senators in early October, but he'll rejoin the NHL club to provide additional depth in the crease after Linus Ullmark (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday. Samuel Ersson will likely serve as the Senators' primary option in the net while Ullmark is sidelined.

Senators' Jonas Johansson: Called up to majors
Rotowire
Johansson was recalled from AHL Belleville on Tuesday.
Johansson will head back to Ottawa following the injury to Linus Ullmark (undisclosed), who left Monday's contest before the start of the third period. The 31-year-old Johansson was dealt to the Senators on Sept. 25 from Tampa Bay. It remains to be seen if Ullmark will miss an extended period of time, but Johansson's move to the majors indicates that he will likely back up Samuel Ersson Tuesday.

Senators' Jonas Johansson: Dealt to Ottawa
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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: Patrolling road crease
Rotowire
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: Earns win in spot start
Rotowire
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: Gets rare start Sunday
Rotowire
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.

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
Rotowire
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.

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.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: First loss in four starts
Rotowire
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.

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.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Third straight win
Rotowire
Johansson made 20 saves in a 5-1 win over the Flyers on Monday.
Well, well, well -- look at this. Johansson has won three straight games, allowing eight goals (.895 save percentage) in that span. He's a goalie who can get the Lightning wins, but he struggles to keep his counting stats to the league average. At the same time, Johansson isn't a fantasy liability, so you can get him in your blue paint when you know he's the starter.
