On March 24, 2017, Johansson agreed to a three-year entry-level contract with the Boston Bruins. He was immediately assigned to complete the 2016–17 season, with AHL affiliate the Providence Bruins on a professional try-out basis.[3] On May 13, 2019, Johansson signed a three-year deal with HV71.[4]
On 19 May 2021, Johansson left newly demoted HV71, and signed a one-year contract with Finnish top tier club, Vaasan Sport of the Liiga.[5]
During the 2022–23 season, his second with Vaasan, Johansson contributed with 24 points through 43 games before leaving the club to join German club, EHC Red Bull München of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL), for the remainder of the season on 14 February 2023.[6]
