TAMPA — When Tyler Johnson is at his best, he’s all about intimidation.
And so far in the Eastern Conference semifinal against the New York Islanders, the pesky Lightning winger has been at his annoying best.

If there’s a scrum after the whistle, expect the Spokane, Wash., native to be in the middle of it. And then there’s the fact that he never sits still.
