A Washington Capital for fifteen of his seventeen seasons in the NHL, Calle Johannson was an integral part of the Capitals, making multiple playoff appearances. Johannson did not often get the credit he deserved, as Washington had many defensive stars at the time (Scott Stevens, Rod Langway, Kevin Hatcher, for example). Still, he contributed to these clubs, providing excellent depth. Internationally, he represented Sweden multiple times, including anchoring them to two World Championships (1991 & 1992).
