He joined the team as a 27-year-old after establishing his reputation in Minnesota pro leagues for six years. After playing a key role in the Rangers` 1928 run to the Stanley Cup, Johnson missed most of the 1928-29 season with an ankle injury, suffered during a Dec. 1 game against the Montreal Maroons. He was limited to eight regular-season games but did return in time for all six playoff games. Johnson retired from the NHL in 1938 after closing out his career at Madison Square Garden with the New York Americans. He became player-coach of his former Minneapolis team in the American Hockey Association and later coached one of the first pro hockey teams in Washington, D.C.
