Selected with the No. 24 pick in the 2009 NHL Draft, Johansson has played a number of different positions, primarily in a top-nine role.

The Capitals selected Johansson as a winger when he was with Swedish club Farjestad, but in the 2009-10 season he was moved to center. His playing time and role increased and he finished with 10 goals and 20 points.

The 6-foot-1, 209-pound Johansson earned a spot on the Capitals roster for the start of the 2010-11 season made his NHL debut Oct. 8, 2010, in a 4-2 loss to the Atlanta Thrashers. He played 69 games as a rookie and contributed in all situations.

Johansson's flexibility to play different positions and roles aided the Capitals during the 2015-16 season when he filled in for winger Jay Beagle, who missed two months with a broken hand.

A quick skater who possesses a strong ability to make plays and set up his teammates, Johansson has been a fixture on the Washington power play, which has consistently been among the best in the League.

Internationally, Johansson won a silver medal at the 2014 Olympics, a silver (2009) and a bronze (2010) at the World Junior Championship and a bronze at the 2007 IIHF Under-18 Championship.
