Johnson is on a one-year, $775,000 contract and will be a restricted free agent this summer.
Over 144 career games with the Chicago Blackhawks and Wild, Johnson has seven goals and 10 assists.
The Maple Leafs also acquired defenceman Brandon Carlo from the Boston Bruins and centre Scott Laughton from the Philadelphia Flyers before the trade deadline on Friday.
