Minnesota Wild left wing Marcus Johansson (undisclosed) exited Thursday's Game 3 victory against the Vegas Golden Knights after logging only 11:09 of ice time. The Swedish veteran was minus-one in the contest with one block. While Johansson has been quiet in the series, recording one assist and one shot on goal, his veteran presence would be missed if he were to sit out additional time. Game 4 is scheduled for Saturday. Minnesota could turn to Liam Ohgren to fill the gap in the lineup. He has five points (two goals, three assists) in 24 regular-season outings, averaging one hit per game.

The Swedish veteran was back in practice on Friday. Johansson found the back of the net in his last appearance against the Los Angeles Kings and has been productive lately, racking up seven points (two goals, five assists) in nine games. Overall, he has accumulated 25 points (seven goals, 18 assists) in 59 games this season. Minnesota is expected to use Johansson on the second line against Buffalo, with Frederick Gaudreau and Gustav Nyquist skating alongside him.

According to Jessi Pierce of NHL.com, Minnesota Wild left wing Marcus Johansson (upper body) exited Wednesday's contest early. Pierce noted that the 34-year-old will be out for some time. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring his status before their next game on Saturday evening against the Nashville Predators. Before exiting, he logged just over 10 minutes of ice time and tallied one shot and one hit. He has not tallied a point in each of his previous four contests. Johansson joins a significant list of Minnesota forwards who are currently sidelined, such as Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) and Jakub Lauko (lower body). If he has to miss an extended period, the Wild will likely promote a forward from the AHL.
