In September 2006, the Hurricanes transferred the rights to Johnson together with defender Oleg Twerdowski in exchange for Tim Gleason and Éric Bélanger to the Los Angeles Kings , with whom Jack Johnson signed a contract in March 2007. Against the Vancouver Canucks , the defender finally completed his first NHL game on September 29, he scored his first scorer point on October 10, the first NHL goal followed a short time later - again against the Vancouver Canucks.

In January 2011, Johnson extended his contract in Los Angeles for a further seven years until the end of the 2017/18 season. On February 23, 2012 the Kings transferred him to the Columbus Blue Jackets together with a first-round suffrage in the NHL Entry Draft 2012 or NHL Entry Draft 2013 , in return Jeff Carter moved to the Los Angeles Kings.

After more than six years in Columbus, Johnson did not get a further contract from the Blue Jackets after the 2017/18 season, so he joined the Pittsburgh Penguins in July 2018 as part of a five-year contract .
