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 2020–21 season with Swedish club, Malmö Redhawks of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL), on December 15, 2020.[3] Appearing with the Redhawks in a top-six forward role, Johnson added 7 goals and 12 points through 21 regular season games before opting to break his contract and return to North America on March 27, 2020.[4]
On April 6, 2021, Johnson signed as a free agent for the remainder of the 2020–21 season with the Ontario Reign of the AHL, the primary affiliate to the Los Angeles Kings.[5]
