Ryan Johansen Posts Multi-Point Game On Thursday
7 years agoNashville Predators center Ryan Johansen contributed a goal and an assist, as his team captured its 10th straight win on Thursday. Johansen entered double-digit goal territory (10th goal of the season) off a backdoor deflection and then added a secondary assist on a nice rush play later in the game. While it appears that Johansen will fail to reach the 60-point mark for the first time since the 2012-2013 season, the crafty center does seem to be heating up at the right time with eight points during the Preds current win streak. Johansen is far from a high-volume shooter (just 106 shots) but does provide value in other peripheral categories with 68 penalty minutes and 74 hits. The 25-year-old center plays a really deep position, so make sure to pay close attention to factors such as quality of his opponent when deciding whether or not to plug him into your starting lineups.
