Johns returned to the NHL after a nearly two-year absence due to post-traumatic headaches in 2019-20. In 17 games, he produced a respectable five points, 50 hits and 20 blocked shots. Unfortunately, he appeared in only four playoff games during the Stars' run to the Stanley Cup Finals before he was sidelined. While nothing specific was mentioned in terms of the cause of his absence, it's very possible Johns could be done with his playing career. The 28-year-old could provide solid numbers across most categories if he does play in 2020-21, and it would likely come at the expense of Andrej Sekera's spot in the lineup. At this point, however, Johns shouldn't be expected to suit up.
