Lightning's Tyler Johnson: Expected to return Saturday

Johnson (undisclosed) skated in warmups before Saturday's game against the Stars, making it very likely he will return to action, Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

Barring an unexpected setback between pregame warmups and puck drop, Johnson will be returning after missing two games. The Stars have been one of the worst defensive teams in the league, while in the seven games before his injury Johnson notched seven points.
