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.

Minnesota Wild left wing Marcus Johansson (illness) seems set to rejoin the lineup on Saturday against the Buffalo Sabres. He missed Wednesday's game against the Seattle Kraken due to an illness. 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.

Minnesota Wild left wing Marcus Johansson (concussion) is expected to return to the lineup against the Boston Bruins on Tuesday.

Johansson has missed eight games after sustaining a concussion. He has had a difficult season, scoring five goals and 16 points in 44 contests. The Swedish forward is set to return to the lineup in a second-line role, with Marcus Foligno and Joel Eriksson Ek as his running mates.

Minnesota Wild left wing Marcus Johansson (upper body) was placed on Injured Reserve Thursday. He took an elbow to the face from Edmonton forward Connor McDavid in Wednesday's 5-3 loss, with Wild head coach John Hynes saying after the game that Johansson would likely be out for a while. It is suspected that the Swedish forward is dealing with a concussion. Johansson has picked up 16 points (five goals, 11 assists) in 44 games this season. His injury means the Wild are now without two of their top left-wingers and three of their top-four defensemen. Marcus Foligno will likely move into the top six on Saturday against Nashville if Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) is not ready to return.
