A 6'1", 205 lb. left-catching native of Troy, MI, Johnson, 26, went 11-16-5 with one shutout, a 3.80 GAA and .873 S% in 32 career AHL appearances for the Binghamton Devils spanning parts of two seasons from 2017-19. In 38 ECHL appearances for the Adirondack Thunder and Florida spanning parts of three seasons from 2018-21, Johnson registered a 23-11-2 record with five shutouts, a 2.28 GAA and .926 S%.
