6 years agoTampa Bay Lightning forward Tyler Johnson (upper body) is wearing a red non-contact jersey in practice and according to head coach Jon Cooper, he's "50-50" to play in the season opener against Florida on Saturday. Johnson's injury was picked up during practice and it was first reported on Sept. 23, so he's had a while to recover and still does which is good news for fantasy owners. However, if Johnson isn't good to go, expect Yanni Gourde to take his place on the second line, with Mathieu Joseph possibly making his NHL debut on the third line.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
