Tyler Johnson: (Lower Body) Looks On Tap To Play Tuesday

Johnson (lower body) was on the ice for pregame warmups and looks like he'll be cleared to play Tuesday against the Hurricanes, Erik Erlendsson of the Tampa Tribune reports.

Analysis:

The Lightning didn't have an extra forward take part in warmups as insurance in the event of a setback for Johnson, so consider him good to go for Tuesday's tilt. Johnson was forced to miss out of his first career All-Star appearance due to the untimely injury, but it shouldn't deter fantasy owners from slotting him back into their lineups. With 48 points in 46 games, Johnson checks in ahead of more-heralded teammate Steven Stamkos (45 points) as the Bolts' leading scorer.
