Red Wings' Anton Johansson: Scores lone goal in Thursday's loss
Rotowire
Johansson scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
Johansson broke a scoreless tie early in the third period, converting a rebound off the end boards for his second goal of the season. The young defenseman provided Detroit's only offense, but his contributions weren't enough to prevent another defeat. His limited offensive deployment and modest shot generation leave him with little immediate fantasy appeal outside deeper formats.

Johansson scored a goal on one shot while adding three blocked shots, a hit and four hits in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Flyers.
The 22-year-old notched his first career point in the 5-4 loss to the Devils on Tuesday, and now posted his first goal at the NHL level at 4:31 of the second period, converting a one-timer off a Dylan Larkin feed during a 2-on-1 rush to tie the game. The rookie defenseman became Detroit's third player to record his first NHL goal this month, joining Michael Brandsegg-Nygard and William Wallinder. His combination of defensive contributions and emerging offensive potential could make him worth monitoring in deeper fantasy formats.

Red Wings' Anton Johansson: Snags first career point
Rotowire
Johansson posted an assist and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Devils.
Johansson's helper on an Emmitt Finnie goal was the former's first career NHL point. Over six outings this season, Johansson has four shots on net, six hits and eight blocked shots. The 22-year-old defenseman is seeing time in a bottom-four role and will likely continue to log sheltered minutes, especially when the Red Wings dress seven blueliners.
