Analysis:

Johnson will slot into a top-six role Wednesday against Detroit, centering Alex Killorn and Nikita Kucherov on Tampa Bay's first line. The 27-year-old forward will also see time on the man advantage, centering Killorn and Brian Boyle on the Lightning's second power-play unit. Johnson will look to get back on track offensively Wednesday, as he was ice cold down the stretch, tallying a single assist over the final seven games of the regular season.
