Expected goals come from our own model and rate every unblocked shot he faced by its chance of going in. High-danger shots are those worth 0.15 expected goals or more. Percentiles compare him with goalies who played 600 minutes that season. xGA/60 shows how hard his workload was, so its bar is grey.

Play styleRebound-control specialist

Trait percentiles vs. NHL goalies · 2025-26

Johansson's standout trait is rebound control, but his save results are weak almost everywhere else, from routine shots to penalty kill work. He sits below the NHL norm on both big saves and game-to-game consistency, with a -12.2 goals saved above expected total.

Strengths

  • Rebound control is at the 89th percentile, so few second-chance shots follow his saves.
  • Nothing else reaches the 60th percentile; rebound control is the one clear bright spot.

Watch-outs

  • Routine saves sit at the 9th percentile, a big gap on lower-danger shots.
  • PK save percentage is at the 4th percentile, among the lowest in the league.
  • 5-on-5 saves are at the 19th percentile, and quality starts at 48% rank 30th.

Goaltending
-12.2

Game Score gives credit for everything a player does in a game. Goals (1.0) and assists (0.7 primary, 0.5 secondary) count most; shots, blocks, hits, takeaways, penalties drawn, faceoff wins, killing penalties, and holding down the other team's chances add to it. Only mistakes subtract: goals against at 5-on-5, giveaways, penalties taken, faceoff losses, and allowing more chances than an average player would. A player who is there to defend or kill penalties is not marked down for not scoring. Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
