Tyler Johnson scored a shorthanded goal and registered a plus-one rating in Tampa Bay's 3-2 win over the Red Wings on Monday.
Fantasy Implications: Johnson opened the scoring at 9:15 of the first period when he stole the puck inside his own zone and beat Trevor Daley down the ice, slipping the puck between Jimmy Howard's pads for the shorthanded tally. The 28-year-old center now has four points (three goals, one assist) and a minus-two rating through six games. Now that the Bolts' are healthy, Johnson has been bumped down from a top-six role to the third line along with Alex Killorn and Slater Koekkoek, a testament to the depth and strength of Tampa Bay at center. Johnson continues to center the second power-play unit, and should be considered a valuable commodity in deep leagues.
