Johnston had a goal and an assist in Tuesday’s 6-3 loss to Boston.
Johnston’s goal came on the power play at 19:02 of the third period to pull the Stars to within 5-3. But it was too little, too late. The goal was Johnston’s 41st of the season, which moves him into sole possession of the team lead in that category. He has 80 points (75 games) for the first time in his career and sits second behind Jason Robertson on the Stars’ scoring list. But perhaps most impressively, Johnston sits on top of the NHL in power-play goals. He has 25, and the next closest player (Pavel Dorofeyev) has 18.
