Ex-Caps forward and current gentle sweetheart, Marcus Johansson, is now a Minnesota Wild… err, a member of the Wild. A Wildling? I don’t know. Anyway, now he’s wilding out.
(P.S. he was on the Buffalo Sabres before, in case you, like me, forgot.)
Going to Buffalo will be forward Eric Staal, who has never played for the Capitals as far as I can tell.

Former Capital Marcus Johansson is now the father of two young girls. Johansson took to Instagram on Wednesday to post photos of his new daughter, Elize.
“How lucky am I? Two perfect little princesses and a Queen, @amelia87, who is just truly amazing!” Johansson wrote. “To say that Mila is a proud big sister is an understatement.”
Johansson posted two photos of Elize including a photo of his four-year daughter holding the newborn on the couch.
The NHL gave permission to its players to return to their home country on Monday. Previously, it was requested to stay in their NHL city for hopes of the season picking back up soon.
Andre Burakovsky, Marcus Johansson, and a bunch of other Swedish hockey players all had the same idea and booked a private jet back to their home country.

As the Boston Bruins prepare for Game Seven of the Stanley Cup Finals, Marcus Johansson is one of two former Capitals left standing in the playoffs.
After the trade deadline when he was dealt to the team that had injured him yet again, I wondered how MoJo would fit into the B’s lineup successfully in such a short amount of time. Lucky for us, former Caps bench boss Bruce Cassidy has deployed Johansson in a role we know well: as a primary distributor for crash and bang forwards, and as a lethal producer on the power play.

Former Capital Marcus Johansson scored his first ever point in a Stanley Cup Final game on Saturday night with a smart assist on a goal by Charlie Coyle.
Johansson was named the second star of the night for Game One despite not registering a point, and it seemed like only a matter of time before one finally went in for the former Capital.

Former Capital Marcus Johansson had a huge impact for the Boston Bruins in the first game of the Stanley Cup Final against the St. Louis Blues. While he didn’t register any points in the Bruins 4-2 win, his play, especially during the first half of the game, earned him second star of the night.
Johansson was traded to the Devils the summer before the Capitals’ successful run to the Cup in 2017-18, then in February 2019 was traded to the Bruins, making this the 28-year-old Swede’s first Stanley Cup Final game.
He is the last former Capitals player left in the playoffs.
