| Nov 29, 2001 | 2pd 18:11 | @ MIN | FLA | Paul Laus |
| Comments: Laus challenges Johnson and Johnson decides to go (after what appeared to be the third challenge by Laus during this game). Laus starts out missing with a right, then Johnson misses with a right and falls down pulling Laus with him and then pinning him down on the ice. | ||||

| Dec 28, 2001 | 2pd 03:06 | MIN | @ EDM | Georges Laraque |
| Comments: This scrap was brewing since the 1st period, when Johnson was pushing and shoving with Scott Ferguson, and it goes down in the 2nd. As the puck is dumped down into the Oilers' zone, Laraque skates after it. Johnson says something to Georges that made him turn around and off come the gloves. They try to grab onto each other, but both guys lose their grips. They square off, and both guys are kinda chuckling (I guess because they both lost their grips on each other at the same time). This time, they grab a hold of each other and Johnson is off-balance. Laraque gets the helmet off, while Johnson is still trying to get his footing. Big Georges connects with two lefts and Johnson slips and goes down. | ||||

| Comments: McKenzie and Johnson go off the face-off. They get in close and then Jimmy Mac gets his right free. Throws about 5 shots lands a few including one pretty good uppercut. They tie each other up, and McKenzie lands at least one more. Johnson tried throwing some punches but did not land any. You can see Johnson is pissed at himself after the fight. | ||||

| Jan 30, 2002 | 1pd 07:36 | @ MIN | LOS | Ryan Flinn |
| Comments: Not much, Flinn and Johnson both try and unload, and it looked like Flinn landed the only punches, but only to the back of the head. There was one point where they both threw huge haymakers. Flinn's missed, but Johnson's missed as well. | ||||

| Feb 05, 2002 | 1pd 11:10 | MIN | @ TOR | Shayne Corson |
| Comments: Johnson checks Corson, who gives Matt a little shot. Matt then gives a shot back before the gloves come off of both. Matt throws the first punch which may have connected. Corson gets at least one of two consecutive rights that land. Matt seemed to reel from one of the punches. Both throw a few more that do no real damage or even land. | ||||

| Mar 02, 2002 | 3pd 01:11 | MIN | @ VAN | Brent Sopel |
| Comments: After what seemed like the third time Ohlund took a run at Gaborik, Lemaire finally sent Johnson out to send a message. Johnson finds Ohlund and knocks him down with a huge gloved right. Johnson then grabs Naslund, shoves his helmet from behind and Sopel comes in to their defense. Big Moose was throwing hard, Sopel just kept his head tucked under, too hard to see if any of Matt's upper cuts connected. Other Penalties: Johnson received a roughing and a match penalty for attempting to injure. | ||||

| Mar 20, 2002 | 1pd 03:11 | @ MIN | CBJ | Jody Shelley |
| Comments: The fight starts right off the face off. They both start throwing and Johnson gets Shelley's helmet off. Shelley falls down, then he stands back up and hits him in the shoulder. They both fall to the ice this time and Johnson may have landed a punch while down. | ||||

| Comments: Did not see what started it, replay showed them in the background coming together. Both seemed to me to be more concerned with jockeying for position, a couple punches by both and they tumble to the ice. | ||||
