Johnson's broken right wrist will not require surgery, Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

Johnson and the Lightning didn't think the injury would require surgery at the end of the season, but this news is nevertheless encouraging. He was a stud for Tampa Bay this year, registering 29 goals and 43 assists for a total of 72 points in 77 games with the Bolts in 2014-15. He should be ready for the start of Tampa Bay's training camp in September, and will remain a top fantasy commodity in 2015-16.
