Wild's Reese Johnson: Surfaces on waivers
Johnson (upper body) was placed on waivers Tuesday, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.
Johnson had been dealing with an injury, but his placement on waivers means he has recovered. The 26-year-old forward produced two goals, three assists and 109 hits in 42 regular-season appearances with Chicago in 2023-24. If he doesn't get claimed by another team, Johnson could be a call-up option for Minnesota during the 2024-25 campaign.

Wild's Reese Johnson: Dealing with upper-body injury
Johnson is considered day-to-day with an upper-body injury, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Monday.
Johnson has never played in more than 60 NHL games in a season and figures to remain a fringe roster player heading into the 2024-25 campaign. If the 26-year-old winger does make the Opening Night roster, which is far from guaranteed, he will slot into a bottom-six role without power-play ice time. As such, Johnson probably shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value this year.
