#Marlies to sign F Justin Johnson. No accident w/ guys like Kapanen/Nylander there. 34 year old Alaskan one of toughest in the sport.

The 34-year-old Johnson has 64 points and 1,403 penalty minutes in 388 career games in the ECHL and AHL. He spent all of last season with the Alaska Aces of the ECHL.
He’s appeared in only two NHL games, both in 2013-14, and made his mark in one of them versus Buffalo. There’s really only one thing hockey fans will remember Johnson from and it’s his thoroughly satisfying knockout of the NHL’s biggest-ever meatstick, John Scott.
