Marcus Johansson's 2024-25 season with the Minnesota Wild can be described as a solid, if not spectacular, performance from the veteran forward. Playing in 72 regular season games, Johansson tallied 11 goals and 23 assists, accumulating 34 points, which placed him sixth in team scoring and assists. He averaged 16:23 of ice time per game. Additionally, he contributed two assists in five playoff games as the Wild were eliminated in the first round by the Vegas Golden Knights.

Johansson's contributions were valuable to the Wild, providing secondary scoring and veteran experience to a team with emerging young talents like Marco Rossi and Matthew Boldy. Acquired by the Wild in a trade with Washington a few days before the 2023 trade deadline, Johansson has become a steady presence in the lineup. He bounced between the second and third lines throughout the season, providing versatility to the coaching staff. He also contributed on the power play, averaging 1:17 minutes per game on the man advantage.

Looking at some underlying metrics, Johansson maintained a solid two-way game. His EV TOI/GM (even-strength time on ice per game) was 14:19. Johansson's goals per 60 minutes (G60) was 0.41 and points per 60 minutes (P60) was 1.23. His GF% (Goals For %) was 47.80, while his DFF% (Defensive Faceoff %) was 49.10.

A notable moment for Johansson during the season was when he collected his 500th career NHL point with an assist against Detroit on February 22, 2025. Throughout his 15-year NHL career, Johansson has accumulated 517 points (185 goals and 332 assists) in 983 regular season games playing for Washington, New Jersey, Boston, Buffalo, Seattle, and Minnesota. He also has 47 points (16 goals and 31 assists) in 114 career Stanley Cup Playoff games.

Following the conclusion of the 2024-25 season, the Minnesota Wild re-signed Johansson to a one-year, $800,000 contract for the 2025-26 season. This new contract represents a pay cut from his previous two-year deal with an Average Annual Value (AAV) of $2 million. The Wild's decision to re-sign Johansson at a lower cap hit demonstrates their desire to maintain veteran depth while managing the team's salary cap situation. The contract will make Johansson an unrestricted free agent at the end of the 2025-26 season.

Overall, Marcus Johansson's 2024-25 season was a dependable performance. He provided consistent secondary scoring, valuable experience, and versatility to the Minnesota Wild. His contributions were recognized with a new contract, albeit at a reduced salary, indicating the Wild's continued confidence in his abilities as a valuable role player.
