Marcus Johansson A Game-Time Call On Tuesday
1 month agoMinnesota Wild left wing Marcus Johansson (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision on Tuesday versus St. Louis. He's considered iffy for the game after missing the morning skate. The Swedish veteran kicked off the campaign with a two-assist effort in a 3-2 victory over Columbus but has gone scoreless in back-to-back games. Minnesota is set to go with seven defensemen on Tuesday if Johansson won't be ready to play. Rookie Liam Ohgren is expected to fill in for Johansson on the second line. The 20-year-old skated on the fourth line while making his season debut on Sunday versus Winnipeg, so his fantasy stock will get a major boost on Tuesday if he moves up to the top six in Johansson's absence.
