Marcus Johansson Returns To Top Line
3 years agoWashington Capitals winger Marcus Johansson is set to be back on the first line Sunday against Minnesota. He has spent most of his time there since returning to Washington, but he was dropped to the third line at the start of the week. The move clearly didn't work out as the Capitals got hammered 6-1 by Carolina and Johansson is now back on the top line. The line tweaking has also led to Evgeny Kuznetsov and Nicklas Backstrom switching places, so Johansson is going to play with Backstrom and Alex Ovechkin. This is, of course, a meeting with his former team and Johansson might have something to prove after the Wild cut him loose after just one season.
