The 29-year-old American died last month after suffering serious injuries during a game against Sheffield Steelers. That game was abandoned and on Saturday the Panthers played their first match since the incident against Manchester Storm. There was a minute's applause after 47 minutes of play in honour of Johnson, whose number 47 jersey will be retired. Local supporters have been laying tributes outside the Panthers' arena since the death of the former Pittsburgh Penguins player.
