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 . In addition to some assignments for their cooperation partner Cleveland Lumberjacks in the IHL, he was only active for Pittsburgh during the rest of the season. The Swede spent the following season completely with the Penguins, who did not extend his expiring contract at the end of the season.

As a free agent , Johansson signed a contract with the Ottawa Senators at the end of September 1998 , where he knew how to convince with 37 points in 69 games. The Senators gave it to the Tampa Bay Lightning after nine months in June 1999 . In return, the Canadian capital club received Rob Zamuner and a second-round vote in the 2002 NHL Entry Draft . Johansson's time in Tampa was short-lived, however. In November of the same year and after only twelve missions, he was again part of a transfer deal that led him to the Calgary Flames in exchange for compatriot Nils Ekman and a four-round draft pick in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft . Due to a back injury suffered in early January 2000, he played only 28 games for Calgary until the summer of 2000. Due to the selection in the NHL Waiver Draft , the winger was in the service of the New York Rangers at the beginning of the 2000/01 season . He spent the entire season but in Europe, where he worked for the SC Bern of the Swiss National League A was active. It was not until the 2001/02 season that the Swede ran for the Rangers in the NHL. In the " Big Apple " Johansson also found no sporting home permanently, as his expiring contract was not renewed and again the team in the summer of 2001, separated from him.

The Swede found a new employer in the NHL for the 2002/03 season in the Nashville Predators , for whom he completed 103 games in the following two years - most for a single NHL team during his eight years in the league. Due to the lockout of the entire NHL season 2004/05 Johansson returned - as four years ago - back to Switzerland . He spent two playing years at Genève-Servette HC in the NLA, followed by a year at Färjestad BK in his home country and a two-year engagement between 2007 and 2009 at SKA Saint Petersburg in the Russian Super League and Continental Hockey League . However, it did not take place in the newly founded KHL, as Johansson completely missed his second year contract with SKA due to a foot injury. Nevertheless, he was obliged before the 2009/10 season by league rivals Salawat Yulayev Ufa , who released him before the first game of the season. Johansson then returned to his homeland.
