Unlikely to return this season
Johnston (upper body) isn't expected to play again this season, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Johnston will likely conclude 2024-25 with a goal, four points, 72 PIM and 134 hits in 43 appearances. He has missed the last seven games. The 31-year-old's four-year, $4.4 million contract runs through the 2025-26 campaign, so he'll likely be back with the Ducks next season and probably continue to serve in a bottom-six capacity.

There aren't many pure enforcers in the modern NHL, but Johnston certainly fits the description. The 30-year-old has accumulated just 28 points across 202 career NHL contests, and he's unlikely to ever have a campaign where he finishes with a double-digit point total. However, he will put his body on the line, as he did for Anaheim in 2023-24 while recording a goal, four points, 117 PIM and 139 hits in 68 regular-season appearances. Johnston is projected to serve in a fourth-line capacity to start the 2024-25 campaign, though he might spend stretches of the year as a healthy scratch.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Can't crack lineup
Johnston is expected to sit as a healthy scratch for a 12th straight contest Tuesday versus Pittsburgh, source reports.
ANALYSIS
At this point it seems like an AHL conditioning loan for Johnston may not be out of the question considering he hasn't seen game action since Nov. 29 against Philadelphia. He's picked up one assist through five NHL appearances this year.
