Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Jonas Johansson led the way against the defending Stanley Cup Champions on Monday evening. Johansson stopped all 36 shots he faced. The Lightning were heavily outshot in this contest but the No.2 netminder was able to lead them to a victory. The Lightning were able to strike three times in the opening frame which was able to Johansson a nice cushion early on. This was only his seventh appearance of the campaign as Andrei Vasilevskiy continues to see a heavy workload in the crease. Across these seven outings, the No.2 option has held a 4-1-1 record with a 3.25 GAA and a .902% SV. Johansson should only be left for deeper formats as he has very limited opportunities to draw a start.

Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Jonas Johansson celebrated his second career shutout on Tuesday with a 32-save effort against Carolina. The Hurricanes had Sebastian Aho back in the lineup but simply couldn't figure Johansson out as the Swedish netminder backstopped his team to a 3-0 win. Johansson, who is filling in for Andrei Vasilevskiy (back) at the start of the season, will be satisfied with the work he's done thus far for the Lightning. The 28-year-old carries a 3-1-2 record with a 2.99 goals-against average and a .917 save percentage.

Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Jonas Johansson was victorious in his debut with the club in Tuesday night's season opener versus the visiting Nashville Predators. The 28-year-old turned aside 28 of 31 shots (.903 save percentage) on the evening as his team supported him nicely in a 5-3 win. Entrusted with the No. 1 goaltending job with the decorated Andrei Vasilevskiy sidelined for the next couple of months, Johansson is a decent speculative fantasy addition between the pipes for the time being as he should earn his fair share of wins. However, he also owns a 3.31 goals-against average and .888 Sv% across 36 career NHL games and won't be any type of fantasy asset when Vasilevskiy returns to game action.

Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Jonas Johansson has been confirmed as the starter for Tuesday's season opener against Nashville. Tampa's No. 1 Andrei Vasilevskiy (backs) begins the campaign on Injured Reserve, and Johansson will be tasked with holding the fort down in his absence. The 28-year-old did it very well in preseason, posting two shutouts in three appearances. It's a matchup against a team that has lost four of its last five trips to Tampa and scored only 2.71 goals per game last season, so Johansson has a great chance to make a winning debut with the Lightning.
