Andreas Johnsson was just coming back from a concussion suffered earlier this year. He had only had a handful of games back but has clearly had some bad luck.<\/p>\n<p>The speedy 24-year-old winger is a big loss for the Maple Leafs. Although, they do have\u00a0tons of talent up front. Johnsson however, was a part of what allowed them to roll 4 skilled lines. He can fit anywhere in a lineup and produce.<\/p>\n<h2>Career<\/h2>\n<p>Andreas Johnsson was chosen in the 7th round at 202 overall by the Leafs back in 2013. He spent a few years in Sweden. After that, he came over for two years with the Toronto Marlies. This is his first full season with the Leafs. He has 15 goals, 16 assists for 31 points in 51 games played.<\/p>\n<p>On his career, he has 34 points in 60 games played. All with the Maple Leafs. The Leafs are obviously hoping this is nothing serious for Andreas Johnsson. However, for the next game or two, expect <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/e\/ennisty01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tyler Ennis<\/a><\/strong> to slot back into the lineup. Ennis had a hot start to the year but also missed an extended period of time due to an injury. He is off of injured reserve now, however, and appears ready to go.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"ll2n7fQiStltngdpJFwZfg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.ca\/detail\/1126833790\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'ll2n7fQiStltngdpJFwZfg',sig:'P6uC02IrBWZUk4hyxQJIULgVCPNjz-8iZ3eQpiEaGEE=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1126833790',caption: true ,tld:'ca',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Toronto Maple Leafs announced that winger Andreas Johnsson will not be returning against the Vegas Golden Knights in Thursdays game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2473,"featured_media":41498,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[34,18],"tags":[616,37,38,72],"class_list":["post-41497","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-leafs","tag-andreas-johnsson","tag-hockey","tag-nhl","tag-toronto-maple-leafs"],"modified_by":"Ben Kerr","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41497","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2473"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41497"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41497\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41498"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41497"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41497"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
