The Minnesota Wild acquired forward Marcus Johansson from the Washington Capitals on Tuesday in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2024 NHL Draft.
Johansson, 32, has recorded 28 points (13 goals, 15 assists) in 60 games this season. The pending unrestricted free agent was traded to Washington prior to last year’s deadline by the Seattle Kraken.
Johansson will be embarking on his second stint with the Wild. He had 14 points (six goals, eight assists) in 36 games with the club during the 2020-21 season.
Johansson has totaled 435 points (157 goals, 278 assists) in 813 career games with the Capitals, New Jersey Devils, Boston Bruins, Buffalo Sabres, Wild and Kraken. He was selected by Washington with the 24th overall pick of the 2009 NHL Draft.
