  • Ducks' Ross Johnston: Garners assist in overtime loss

    Johnston posted an assist and four hits in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sabres.

    Johnston has picked up four points while playing in all nine of the Ducks' games in November. The winger typically doesn't have that much scoring success -- he's already matched his scoring output from 68 appearances in 2023-24. Johnston has added seven shots on net, 16 PIM and 49 hits over 13 appearances in 2024-25 while filling a fourth-line role.

  • Ducks' Ross Johnston: Scores in Friday's win

    Johnston scored a goal on three shots and added four hits in Friday's 6-4 win over the Red Wings.

    Johnston has been surprisingly productive since entering the lineup on a regular basis at the start of November. All three of his points have come over the last six games, and he'll likely have a chance to stick in the lineup while Robby Fabbri (knee) is out. Johnston has added six shots on net, 35 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 10 appearances.

  • Ducks' Ross Johnston: Sends helper Sunday

    Johnston notched an assist in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

    Johnston has played in all four of the Ducks' games in November. He may have some short-term job security while Mason McTavish (upper body) is out, but Johnston is expected to spend much of the campaign competing with Brett Leason for one spot in the lineup. Johnston is up to two assists, three shots on goal, 28 hits and 14 PIM over eight outings this season while filling an enforcer role.

  • Ducks' Ross Johnston: Assist, fight in loss

    Johnston notched an assist, six hits and five PIM in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Blackhawks.

    Johnston fought Patrick Maroon in the second period before adding a helper on a Brock McGinn tally in the third. The 30-year-old Johnston has not seen steady playing time so far -- this was just his fifth appearance in the Ducks' 11 games. The physical winger has racked up 12 PIM, 19 hits, five blocked shots and a plus-2 rating while serving exclusively on the fourth line when in the lineup.

  • Ducks' Ross Johnston: Part of fourth-line rotation

    Johnston was scratched in Thursday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Penguins, the sixth time in 10 games he's been in the press box.

    At 30 years old, Johnston is not a priority to get in the lineup for the Ducks, who have a number of prospects to acclimate to the NHL. The veteran winger has 13 hits, four blocked shots and seven PIM over his first four appearances of 2024-25. Johnston will compete with Brett Leason and Brock McGinn for a spot on the fourth line as long as he's on the NHL roster.

  • Ducks' Ross Johnston: Finishes season cold

    Johnston failed to record a point over his last 10 contests in 2023-24.

    Johnston had just four points with 139 hits, 117 PIM and a minus-12 rating over 68 appearances in his first year with the Ducks. He's under contract for two more seasons with a $1.1 million cap hit. He can help provide toughness on the Ducks' fourth line, but if the team experiences an influx of talent, he could be waived again as he was at the start of 2023-24 to make room for more talented players.

  • Ducks' Ross Johnston: Scores first goal of season

    Johnston scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Lightning.

    Johnston sniped a shot past Jonas Johansson at 13:49 of the first period. It was Johnston's first goal of the season and first point since Feb. 19. The 30-year-old winger has four points, 40 shots on net, 111 PIM, 104 hits and a minus-9 rating through 58 appearances. He's a fourth-line fixture when in the lineup for the Ducks, offering very little in the way of fantasy value.

  • Ducks' Ross Johnston: Drops mitts Thursday

    Johnston recorded two hits and a fighting major in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Blackhawks.

    Johnston has gone 15 games without a point, but he's piled up 30 hits and 22 PIM in that span. The 30-year-old winger is in the Ducks' lineup for toughness, and that's what has kept him on the ice more often than not since December. He's stuck on three assists with 103 hits, 111 PIM, 38 shots on net and a minus-10 rating over 57 appearances this season.

  • Ducks' Ross Johnston: Contributes helper in win

    Johnston logged an assist and four hits in Monday's 4-3 win over the Sabres.

    Johnston's helper was his first point since Oct. 28, snapping a span of 33 scoreless outings. The winger has held down a fourth-line role lately, keeping Brett Leason out of the lineup as the Ducks have opted for a tougher presence. Johnston has three assists, 69 hits and 89 PIM through 42 appearances -- he doesn't offer enough scoring to help the vast majority of fantasy managers.

  • Ducks' Ross Johnston: Seeing more consistent time

    Johnston has played in 12 of the Ducks' last 15 games.

    While it's encouraging to see Johnston get steadier playing time, he hasn't recorded a point since Oct. 28. The 29-year-old winger has just two assists through 38 appearances this season. He's added 27 shots on net, 80 PIM, 58 hits and a minus-4 rating. Johnston will rotate in and out of the lineup, and his lack of offense makes him a non-factor in fantasy.

  • Ducks' Ross Johnston: Good to go Friday

    Johnston (illness) will play Friday against the Jets.

    Johnston missed Wednesday's game against Toronto while feeling under the weather but will be back in a bottom-line role Friday. The 29-year-old has two assists and 48 PIM through 26 games this season.

  • Ducks' Ross Johnston: Sitting out with illness

    Johnston (illness) won't play Wednesday versus the Maple Leafs.

    Johnston is a frequent scratch anyway, so his absence has little impact in fantasy. There is an illness going around the Ducks' locker room -- Johnston may be needed to fill a bottom-six role if other players get sick once he's healthy.

  • Ducks' Ross Johnston: Draws in Thursday

    Johnston played in Thursday's 1-0 loss to the Blackhawks, logging one shot on goal, one hit and one blocked shot in 7:35 of ice time.

    Johnston was a regular in the lineup over the first month of the campaign while the Ducks were waiting for Alex Killorn and Brock McGinn to come back from injury. Since Nov. 12, Johnston has played in just five of 13 games. The 29-year-old has two assists, 29 hits, 29 PIM and 13 shots on goal through 18 contests in a fourth-line role.

  • Ducks' Ross Johnston: Registers helper

    Johnston logged an assist and five PIM in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Flyers.

    Johnston fought former Duck Nicolas Deslauriers in the first period, and then added an assist on a Brett Leason tally in the third. With two helpers over the last three games, Johnston has been more involved on offense than he usually is. The 29-year-old winger has added 14 PIM, five shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-1 rating through eight contests.

  • Ducks' Ross Johnston: Produces first assist

    Johnston logged an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

    Johnston found Brett Leason late in the third period for the game-tying goal. The helper was Johnston's first point as a Duck after he was claimed off waivers from the Islanders before the start of the season. The 29-year-old winger has added some toughness with eight hits and nine PIM through six outings. He's not expected to put up much offense after never recording more than seven points or 32 games played in his seven NHL campaigns with the Isles.

  • Ducks' Ross Johnston: Claimed by Anaheim

    Johnston was claimed by the Ducks on Tuesday after being waived by the Islanders on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

    Johnston should see a bump in playing time with Anaheim after appearing in just 16 games with the Isles last year -- he picked up two helpers and 37 PIM over that span. Nonetheless, the 29-year-old vet will likely remain a rotational, bottom-six option for the Ducks in 2023-24.

  • Islanders' Ross Johnston: Hits waivers

    Johnston was placed on waivers Monday, Chris Johnston of TSN reports.

    Johnston chipped in two assists, 37 PIM and 34 hits in 16 appearances with the Islanders last season. If he clears, the 29-year-old forward could start the 2023-24 campaign with AHL Bridgeport.

  • Islanders' Ross Johnston: Healthy scratch once again

    Johnston was a healthy scratch as the Islanders defeated the Red Wings 4-1 on Saturday.

    Johnston had played in five of the previous six games before Saturday. He had no points and 23 PIM in those five games. Johnston has only two assists in 16 games this season and is only used when the team needs a physical presence. In his last game, Johnston wasn't afraid to drop the gloves with Ryan Reaves of the Wild, one of the best fighters in the NHL. That bout did not go well for Johnston, who was lucky that his face shield stopped a couple of fists from landing on their intended target.

  • Islanders' Ross Johnston: Getting a chance to play

    Johnston was in the lineup for the third straight game Wednesday.

    Johnston was a healthy scratch for 10 straight and 15 of his last 17 games before a rash of injuries forced the team to insert him back into the lineup. How long Johnston will stay in the lineup likely depends on how quickly any of the current five regular forwards out due to injury get back into the lineup. Johnston only has two assists in 13 games this season. However, he is a physical presence and isn't afraid to stick up for teammates and be an enforcer on the ice.
