Healthy scratch once again
LWNew York Islanders
March 5, 2023
Johnston was a healthy scratch as the Islanders defeated the Red Wings 4-1 on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Johnston had played in five of the previous six games before Saturday. He had no points and 23 PIM in those five games. Johnston has only two assists in 16 games this season and is only used when the team needs a physical presence. In his last game, Johnston wasn't afraid to drop the gloves with Ryan Reaves of the Wild, one of the best fighters in the NHL. That bout did not go well for Johnston, who was lucky that his face shield stopped a couple of fists from landing on their intended target.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2020
2018
2014
Johnston had four points and 93 hits in 32 games for the Islanders last year, making him a part-time player at best. That appears to be the plan for 2020-21, as well, as the rowdy winger is most likely to share fourth-line duties with Cal Clutterbuck at the right wing position. Johnston rarely plays more than a handful of minutes per game when he's in the lineup -- his presence is almost purely a physical one for head coach Barry Trotz. It's safe to avoid Johnston in nearly all fantasy formats, as his scoring numbers are too low to make up for his above-average hitting.
For his first significant NHL action in 2017-18, Johnston displayed an old-school quality as an enforcer and contributed a little on the scoresheet. In 24 games, he tallied three goals and six points while racking up 46 hits and an incredible 62 PIM. The 24-year-old recorded four fighting majors, and his 2.58 PIM-per-game average ranked sixth-highest in the league. With the enforcer role dying in the NHL, there's no guarantee Johnston will consistently play this season, but keep an eye on him after the draft. In the event of injuries to the Islanders forward core, Johnston will average approximately 0.25 points per game while adding a ton of PIM to any fantasy lineup.
