Johnson played so well at the beginning of 2010-11 that coach Dan Bylsma had a tough time deciding whether to go with him or starter Marc-Andre Fleury. Johnson's tending kept the team together in October, when Fleury got off to an 0-6-1 start. The 34-year-old backup went 5-0-1 during the same month. Johnson's 13-5-3 record, 2.17 Goals-against average and .922 save percentage were all better than the Flower's. His one-punch knockdown of Islanders' goalie Rick DiPietro wasn't too shabby, either. But in the end, Johnson is little more than a second stringer who would do well to put up similar numbers in 2011-12. (Updated 10/4/11)
