Johnson, 25, scored a goal and was plus-2 in the Penguins' preseason opener against the Buffalo Sabres on September 16, and has since been sidelined with a lower-body injury.
Last season, the Grand Rapids, Minnesota native played six NHL games with the Penguins, collecting two assists and finishing plus-2. Both helpers came during the Penguins' 3-1 win on March 31 against the Carolina Hurricanes. Johnson also appeared in 67 games for WBS, finishing fourth on the team with 43 points (18G-25A).
The Penguins current training camp roster includes 13 forwards, 10 defensemen and three goaltenders.
