Following his sophomore season with the Bulldogs in 2016–17, where he scored 18 goals and tallied 37 points in 42 games, finishing second on the club in both goals and points. Johnson clinched Minnesota-Duluth's berth in the 2017 Frozen Four when he scored an overtime, power-play goal to defeat Boston University, 3-2.

gollark: I mean, prizes in the market would have been pretty good for everyone. Doesn't even need that much hunting but does require some actual gameplay.

gollark: Well, yes.
gollark: And I personally think that there should *not* be stupidly rare near-impossible-to-get dragons distributed by luck. Messes up the trading market.
gollark: It has different properties.
