Chad Johnson blocked 29 of 30 shots Thursday, but still suffered a loss in the Coyotes 2-1 shootout defeat to the Blues.

Johnson has been remarkable when he has gotten the call in the absence of starter Mike Smith. He has yet to lose a game in regulation and has delivered superb numbers in the process.
Apr 18 - 11:15 PM

Chad Johnson was the first goalie off the ice Thursday morning.

Of course you know that means he should be considered Phoenix's probable starter for Thursday night's tilt against the St. Louis Blues. Johnson has looked good in three appearances this campaign, while sporting a 2-0-1 record with a .949 save percentage and a 1.32 GAA.
Apr 18 - 2:13 PM

Chad Johnson has been recalled by the Phoenix Coyotes.

Johnson was summoned on an emergency basis, which implies that either Mike Smith or Jason LaBarbera are questionable for the contest. The Coyotes haven't clarified the status of Smith or LaBarbera.
Apr 15 - 5:17 PM

Chad Johnson has been returned to the minors.

Mike Smith was able to return from an upper body injury on Saturday, but Jason LaBarbera was dealing with an infected lymph node. With Phoenix playing on Monday, this move probably indicates that LaBarbera will be available to at least serve as the backup in that contest.
Apr 7 - 4:41 PM

Coyotes goaltender Chad Johnson, filling in for the injured Mike Smith, turned in a solid performance Thursday night, blocking 34 of 36 shots en route to Phoenix's 4-2 victory over the visiting Detroit Red Wings.

Smith (upper-body injury) may return to the Coyotes on Saturday -- he has been out since March 21 -- but don't be surprised if Johnson gets another start on the weekend after his efforts Thursday.
Apr 5 - 12:55 AM

The Phoenix Coyotes have summoned Chad Johnson.

Mike Smith couldn't complete Thursday's game after being run into by Vancouver's Alexander Edler. The extent and specifics of Smith's injury isn't clear, but at the very least, the Coyotes see Johnson as an insurance policy going into Monday's game.
Mar 23 - 2:15 PM

Chad Johnson has been sent down to the minors by the Phoenix Coyotes.

It looks like Mike Smith (lower body) will return to the Coyotes lineup on Friday. Johnson will probably be summoned again if Smith or Jason LaBarbera suffer an injury in the future.
Feb 1 - 11:08 AM

Chad Johnson was protected by the Phoenix Coyotes on Wednesday and rewarded them with a charity point as they fell 2-1 to the Edmonton Oilers in overtime.

Once again, he faced very few shots - the same as Monday's 21. This time he allowed two goals, with Nail Yakupov beating him for the OT-winner. Considering how unproven he was coming into this week, that's not bad. Mike Smith is expected to be back in action this weekend, but maybe Johnson earned future starts.
Jan 31 - 12:25 AM

Following a shutout in his Phoenix debut, Chad Johnson will be back in the team's crease again when the Coyotes host Edmonton on Wednesday night.

Johnson blanked the Nashville Predators with 21 saves on Monday. Mike Smith is expected to return soon though from a lower-body injury, so Johnson's time in the sun will probably be short lived.
Jan 30 - 5:25 PM

Chad Johnson earned his first NHL shutout in his Phoenix debut and the Coyotes defeated the visiting Nashville Predators 4-0 on Monday night.

Johnson, called up from Portland of the AHL last week after Mike Smith was hurt, had 22 saves in a game dominated defensively by a Coyotes team that entered the night allowing an NHL-high 20 goals in five games.
Jan 28 - 11:55 PM

Chad Johnson will be between the pipes for Phoenix on Monday night against Nashville.

This will mark his first start with the Coyotes. Johnson was recalled from the minors when Mike Smith went down with a lower-body injury.
Jan 28 - 2:05 PM

Goaltender Chad Johnson has been summoned from the minors on an emergency basis by Phoenix.

He will back up Jason LaBarbera against San Jose on Thursday night because Mike Smith sustained a lower-body injury on Wednesday.
Jan 24 - 6:01 PM

Chad Johnson made 27 saves in Portland's 4-3 victory over Worcester on Friday night.

Johnson has a lot to prove in the AHL as he tries to fight his way for a back-up spot. He hasn't exactly turned heads, though, with a 3.06 goals-against average and .906 save percentage.

Chad Johnson made 29 saves, but he came up short Friday night in Portland's 2-1 loss to Connecticut.

It was Johnson's first action against his old organization. He has been up and down so far, with a 2.68 goals-against average and .919 save percentage.
