Karl Andreas Johnsson (born 21 November 1994), last name sometimes spelled Johnson, is a Swedish professional ice hockey winger currently playing for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League (NHL). Johnsson was selected by the Maple Leafs in the seventh round, 202nd overall, of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.
Early life
Johnsson was born on 21 November 1994, in Gävle. He is the youngest son of retired ice hockey player Jonas Johnson. Andreas' older brother Jonathan is also an ice hockey player, currently playing for IF Troja-Ljungby.[1]
Playing career
Johnsson made his Elitserien debut for Frölunda HC on 18 December 2012, in a home game against AIK.[2] In his second game, on 26 December at Rögle BK, Johnsson scored his first career Elitserien goal, the game-winning goal in the shootout.[3]

On 21 April 2014, Johnsson was named the SHL Rookie of the Year, beating out Frölunda teammates Alexander Wennberg and fellow Maple Leafs prospect Tom Nilsson, as well as HV71's Kevin Fiala.[4]
During the 2014–15 season, Johnsson led Frölunda in goals with 22, also contributing 13 assists for 35 points from 55 regular season games played. On 4 June 2015, the Maple Leafs signed Johnsson to a three-year, entry-level contract.[5]
The following season was another sensational year for Johnsson, in which he finished 6th in league scoring and helped Frölunda captured their 4th championship. Having stated this would be his last season in Sweden and wanting to begin his North American development, Johnsson debuted for the Toronto Marlies shortly afterwards, in order to assist their playoff run.[6] However, his stint was cut short, as in his second North American game, Johnsson was hit in the head by an elbow from Albany Devils player Dan Kelly.[7] Kelly was suspended 10 games for the play, and Johnsson would not suit up for another game that season.[8]

During the 2017–18 AHL season Johnsson was named to the 2018 AHL All-Star Game as a replacement for Kasperi Kapanen who was called up to the NHL.[9] On 13 March 2018 Johnsson was called up to the Toronto Maple Leafs along with teammate Calle Rosén.[9] While Rosén was sent back down, Johnsson made his NHL debut on 14 March 2018 in a 6–5 win over the Dallas Stars.[10] He recorded his first NHL goal in the following game against the Montreal Canadiens, which the Leafs won 4–0.[11] Johnsson recorded his first multi-point game on 2 April 2018 in a 5–2 win over the Buffalo Sabres.[12] Near the conclusion of the 2017–18 regular season, Johnsson was selected for the Second All-Star team.[13] Johnsson made his NHL playoff debut during the 2018 Stanley Cup playoffs and recorded his first playoff goal on 21 April to help the Leafs win 4–3.[14] After the Leafs were eliminated from the playoffs, Johnsson was sent to the Marlies to help them in their 2018 Calder Cup playoffs run.[15] After leading all players in points during the playoffs, Johnsson was awarded the Jack Butterfield trophy as MVP of the Calder Cup.[16][17] As a restricted free agent entering the off-season, Johnsson accepted his qualifying offer from the Leafs; a one-year, two-way, $787,500 contract.[18]
Following a successful training camp, Johnsson began the 2018–19 season with the Maple Leafs in the NHL.[19]
