Johnson, who is questionable to play Friday against the Devils, wasn't present for the team's optional morning skate, Darren Rosen of NHL.com reports.

Analysis:

Johnson's absence from morning skate wouldn't seem to bode well for his chances of playing Friday, but the Lightning are still considering him a game-time decision. Ondrej Palat (lower body) is set to return to the lineup Friday, so he'd likely be plugged back into the Bolts' top-six if Johnson can't play.
