Johnson (undisclosed) will practice Tuesday and will likely play on the Lightning's upcoming road trip, reports Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times.

Analysis:

He played a single shift Friday before leaving the game. Johnson was coming off an upper-body injury, so we suspect it's related to that. So far, he has gotten off to a relatively slow start with just 11 points in 21 games. But as we've said before, he can explode offensively in relatively short order. Fingers crossed it happens soon.
