Johansson scored a goal and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-0 win over the Penguins.
Johansson continues to offer steady offense with two goals and an assist over his last four games. The 35-year-old has seen a slight dip in productivity now that Mats Zuccarello is healthy. Johansson is still at eight goals, 10 assists, 33 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 22 contests, putting him over halfway to matching his 34-point effort from 72 regular-season outings a year ago.

Wild's Marcus Johansson: Nets game-winner Saturday
Rotowire
Johansson scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Ducks.
Johansson saw a nine-game point streak end versus the Sharks on Tuesday, but it didn't take him long to bounce back. The 35-year-old has defied the aging curve early in 2025-26 as one of the Wild's most reliable forwards. He's up to seven goals, including two game-winners, and 16 points through 19 appearances while averaging 15:57 of ice time. There will be regression -- he's shooting 23.3 percent, by far a career-high mark.

Wild's Marcus Johansson: Posts helper in 1,000th game
Rotowire
Johansson logged an assist in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Flames.
Sunday marked Johansson's 1,000th NHL regular-season game. The 35-year-old marked the occasion by setting up Matt Boldy's second-period tally. Johansson is on a nine-game point streak (five goals, six helpers) and has produced a total of 15 points, 27 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 17 contests this season. That level of offense is a bit of a surprise, but it's earned him steady minutes on the Wild's second line.

Wild's Marcus Johansson: Seven-game, nine-point streak
Rotowire
Johansson picked up an assist Thursday in a 4-3 loss against the Hurricanes.
Johansson has nine points (five goals, four assists) in a seven-game point streak. At 35, the Swede's game has slowed, but it helps to skate with Kirill Kaprizov and Marco Rossi. Johansson is a great fantasy play right now. He has six goals, seven assists and 26 shots in 15 games, but the pace will slow -- his 23.1 shooting percentage is almost double his career mark of 12.4.

Wild's Marcus Johansson: Two points in overtime win
Rotowire
Johansson scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
Johansson's winner was one of the stranger ways to end a game, as he was awarded the tally at 3:38 of overtime after the officials ruled that Justus Annunen intentionally dislodged the net from its moorings. Johansson was attempting a quick shot off a Kirill Kaprizov pass, but the first shot went wide, bouncing off the side of the net before Johansson corralled the puck and shot it through where the posts should have been. That was enough for the referees to give the goal, allowing the 35-year-old to end with the unique statistic of having a goal without officially being credited with a shot on goal. Johansson has five goals and three assists during a six-game point streak and is up to 12 points through 14 outings this season.

Wild's Marcus Johansson: Pots power-play goal in OT loss
Rotowire
Johansson scored a power-play goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.
Johansson has now scored four goals, including three on the power play, over his last three games. The 35-year-old winger is rolling despite playing on the second power-play unit, though his recent play has earned him more even-strength ice time as well. He's at five goals, eight points, 18 shots on net and a minus-2 rating through 11 outings. Given his age and his usual level of production, Johansson is a sell-high candidate in fantasy.

Wild's Marcus Johansson: Keeps scoring Sunday
Rotowire
Johansson scored a power-play goal on three shots in Sunday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Sharks.
Johansson scored three of the Wild's seven goals during their back-to-back set against the Mammoth and Sharks over the weekend. The 35-year-old winger is up to four goals and three assists across 10 appearances, a strong start for a forward that hasn't exceeded the 40-point mark in the last two campaigns. Johansson has added 16 shots on net and a minus-1 rating, and as long as he remains involved on the power play, he should enjoy stable scoring production.

Wild's Marcus Johansson: Two-goal effort in loss
Rotowire
Johansson scored two goals, one on the power play, in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Mammoth.
The veteran winger was the only Wild skater able to solve Karel Vejmelka in the contest. He found the back of the net in the first and second periods to give his team some life after falling behind 3-0 early. It was Johansson's first multi-point performance of the season, and through nine games, he's produced three goals and six points.

Wild's Marcus Johansson: Finds twine in loss
Rotowire
Johansson scored a goal in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Capitals.
Johansson was able to score against one of his former teams, but the rest of his Wild teammates couldn't get anything going. The 35-year-old has started the year in a top-six role, earning three points, four shots on net, four hits and a plus-1 rating over five appearances. Johansson doesn't have a ton of upside, but he can push for 30-plus points while adding little in the way of non-scoring production.

Wild's Marcus Johansson: Steady going to begin year
Rotowire
Johansson registered a power-play assist and two PIM in Monday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kings.
Johansson has two assists, three shots, four hits and a plus-1 rating over three games this season. He's occupied a middle-six role and a spot on the Wild's second power-play unit. Johansson isn't flashy or physical, but he's reached the 30-point mark in three straight seasons. That could carry some value in deeper fantasy formats with a focus on offense.

Wild's Marcus Johansson: Staying in State of Hockey
Rotowire
Johansson signed a one-year, $800,000 contract with Minnesota on Monday.
Johansson was set to hit free agency this offseason but instead will be sticking around for another year. The 34-year-old forward will be taking a significant pay cut compared to his $2 million cap hit last year, despite having put together a third straight 30-point campaign. Johansson figures to slot into a middle-six role for Minnesota next year and could push up higher depending on injuries.

Wild's Marcus Johansson: Set to play Tuesday
Rotowire
Johansson (lower body) will return to the lineup for Game 5 against the Golden Knights on Tuesday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Johansson should offer some offensive pop to the Wild's lineup, considering he has chipped in three goals and five helpers, including two power-play points, in his last 10 outings. With the veteran winger back in the lineup, he figures to slot into both a top-six role at even strength as well as seeing minutes with the No. 2 power-play unit.

Wild's Marcus Johansson: Won't play in Game 4
Rotowire
Johansson (lower body) will miss Game 4 versus Vegas on Saturday, according to Sarah McLellan of The Minnesota Star Tribune.
Johansson had 11 goals and 34 points across 72 regular-season outings in 2024-25. He has an assist through three playoff appearances this year. The 34-year-old forward will miss at least one game after getting hurt in Thursday's 5-2 victory over the Golden Knights. Vinnie Hinostroza will replace Johansson in Saturday's lineup.

Johansson has one assist through three playoff games, seeing action on the second line alongside Frederick Gaudreau and Mats Zuccarello. Should Johansson sit out Saturday's tilt, look for Vinnie Hinostroza to enter the lineup.

Wild's Marcus Johansson: Doesn't finish game
Rotowire
Johansson (undisclosed) didn't finish Thursday's Game 3 versus the Golden Knights, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Russo notes Johansson took some heavy hits in the contest. The 34-year-old winger can be considered day-to-day heading into Saturday's Game 4, which starts at 4 p.m. Eastern Time. The Wild have already made their Black Aces call-ups, so they have plenty of options available if Johansson can't suit up.

Wild's Marcus Johansson: Delivers assist in win
Rotowire
Johansson logged an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 2.
Johansson set up a Mats Zuccarello tally in the first period, which stood as the game-winner. Johansson had nine points over the last 11 contests of the regular season, wrapping up the year at 34 points in 72 appearances. The 34-year-old is filling a middle-six role and may generate some depth offense, but he adds little to the mix aside from points and shots on net.

Wild's Marcus Johansson: Bends twine in high-scoring win
Rotowire
Johansson scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 8-7 overtime win over the Sharks.
Johansson made an early impact, tying the game at 1-1 in the first period. The winger was down on the third line Wednesday following the returns of Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) and Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body). That shift in usage will hurt Johansson's scoring in the last week of the season, and he doesn't make up for it with production in other areas. While he has seven points over his last eight games, he may struggle to close out 2024-25. He's managed 10 goals, 32 points, 114 shots on net, 45 hits and a minus-8 rating across 69 outings this season.

Wild's Marcus Johansson: Supplies assist in Friday's loss
Rotowire
Johansson recorded an assist in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Islanders.
Johansson stayed hot with a helper on Mats Zuccarello's tally in the second period. The 34-year-old Johansson has two goals and four assists over his last six contests while seeing time on the second line and first power-play unit. The veteran winger is up to 31 points in 67 appearances, surpassing his 30-point total from last season. He's added 109 shots on net, 44 hits, 24 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating in 2024-25, so he shouldn't be relied on for non-scoring production.

Rotowire
Johansson scored a shorthanded goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers.
The shortie was the first of the season for the 34-year-old, while the three-point performance tied his season high. Johansson is having a strong finish to the regular season as the Wild try to lock up a playoff spot, collecting four goals and 11 points in 15 games since the beginning of March.

Wild's Marcus Johansson: Nets lone goal in loss
Rotowire
Johansson scored a goal and added two hits in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
Johansson tallied for the third time in his last six games to get the Wild on the board late in the third period, but that was all they could muster against Adin Hill. The 34-year-old Johansson continues to serve as a depth scorer on the second line. He's now at eight goals, 26 points, 101 shots on net, 39 hits and a minus-6 rating over 62 appearances.
