Johansson, however, experienced his greatest difficulties during the third period of this match. The former Sabers goaltender allowed four goals in the third period against the Canucks, including three in 1:40. With that, it was undoubtedly a tough performance for the former Sabre.
With the loss, Johansson now has a 3-2-0 record, .890 save percentage and 3.26 goals-against average in six games so far this season with the Lightning. That’s after he had a 9-6-3 record, .895 save percentage and 3.13 goals-against average in 19 games for the Bolts in 2024-25.
Johansson was selected by the Sabers with the 61st overall pick in the 2014 NHL Draft. In 13 games with the Sabers from 2019-20 to 2020-21, he posted a 1-8-2 record, .888 save percentage and 3.40 goals-against average.
