Playing career
Johnson played junior hockey out of high school in the United States Hockey League (USHL) with the Indiana Ice and Sioux City Musketeers. Undrafted, he played two seasons of collegiate hockey with the University of Minnesota Duluth in the National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC).
Following his sophomore season with the Bulldogs in 2016–17, where he scored 18 goals and tallied 37 points in 42 games, finishing second on the club in both goals and points. Johnson clinched Minnesota-Duluth's berth in the 2017 Frozen Four when he scored an overtime, power-play goal to defeat Boston University, 3–2. Johnson and the Bulldogs eventually fell to the University of Denver, 3–2, in the NCAA championship game.
Johnson attended the Pittsburgh Penguins prospect development camp before opting to conclude his collegiate career early, agreeing to a two-year, entry-level contract with the Penguins on July 6, 2017.[2]
As a free agent from the Penguins following three-seasons within the organization, Johnson due to the COVID-19 pandemic delaying the North American season, opted to sign a contract abroad for the remainder of the 2020-21 season with Swedish club, Malmö Redhawks of the SHL, on December 15, 2020.[3]
