Career
Johansson, who grew up in the offspring of Hofor HC from his hometown, made his debut at the age of 14 in the club's first team, which was then part of the third division Division 2 . After he was already a 15-year-old regular for the team in the 1988/89 season and had collected 30 scorer points in 28 season appearances, the striker moved to Falu IF in neighboring Falun in the summer of 1989 . There Johansson played the following two seasons in the second-rate division 1 , where he was able to establish himself in his second year.
After the selection in the seventh round in 136th place in the 1991 NHL Entry Draft by the New York Islanders from the National Hockey League , the attacker switched to Färjestad BK from Karlstad , which was based in the Elitserien, for the 1991/92 season . Overall, Johansson stayed with the club for four years, completing 136 games for the team and collecting 43 points. In his fourth year alone, he contributed 19 points, which earned him the election to the league's All-Star Team. Subsequently, the offensive player, who has since appeared internationally, signed a contract with the New York Islanders, where he made three appearances in the 1995/96 season . Mainly, however, he played in their farm teams , the Worcester IceCats from the American Hockey League and the Utah Grizzlies from the International Hockey League . With the Grizzlies he won the Turner Cup at the end of the season - his only title win in his career. At the beginning of the 1996/97 season Johansson made the leap into the NHL roster of the Islanders and completed 15 games for the Long Island- based franchise by mid-November 1996 . He was then transferred to the Pittsburgh Penguins together with defender Darius Kasparaitis in exchange for Bryan Smolinski .
