Red Wings' Albert Johansson: Nets second career goal
Rotowire
Johansson scored a goal and blocked three shots in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Golden Knights.
Johansson's performance was not only a great offensive showing, but also a strong defensive outing as he helped keep a lively Vegas offense scoreless. His tally was the lone goal of the second period and the first goal of the game. With his tally Sunday, the 24-year-old blueliner is up to eight points in his first 46 career NHL games. The goal snapped his six-game point drought. He is currently skating on the second defensive pairing with Simon Edvinsson. While Johansson isn't a name to roster this season in fantasy, Sunday's performance is a great indication to his potential in future seasons.

Red Wings' Albert Johansson: Strong defensive effort Saturday
Rotowire
Johansson notched an assist, two shots on goal, a plus-2 rating, three hits and seven blocked shots in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Lightning.
Johansson ended a six-game point drought with the helper. The 24-year-old defenseman has played in all but one game in January while Jeff Petry (undisclosed) is on injured reserve. Johansson has just four points with 25 shots on net, 27 hits, 40 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 28 appearances. He's unlikely to be a factor in fantasy given his limited offense, but he can rack up defensive stats when he gets playing time.

Johansson logged an assist and blocked two shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Islanders.

Johansson has added 11 shots on net, 10 hits, 16 blocks and a minus-4 rating. He'll continue to compete with Erik Gustafsson and Justin Holl for limited minutes, as the Red Wings have leaned heavily on their top four in most games.
