Johansson was hospitalized after sustaining the hit by Ferland. The 28-year-old struggled with injuries last season, playing only 29 games with the New Jersey Devils after suffering concussions on two separate occasions last year.

The Bruins acquired Johansson from the Devils for a 2019 second-round pick and a 2020 fourth-rounder at the Feb. 25 trade deadline.

The winger entered Monday's contest with 28 points in 51 games this season, including one assist in four contests with the Bruins.
