Lightning's Tyler Johnson: Feels stronger than ever

Johnson has had a healthy offseason and said he is "stronger than I've ever been," the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

Johnson is surely hoping to get off to a better start than last season, when he began with a 12-game goal drought and had just four in his first 29 games. That sluggish start can now be tied to that broken wrist he suffered in the 2015 Stanley Cup Finals; he didn't actually have any strength until the start of 2016. However, Johnson was able to train fully this offseason with zero need to rehab an injury, and he'll attempt to rebound to the level that made him in All-Star and 72-point scorer in 2014-15.
