Johnson, who won 23 games last season for South Carolina, turned aside 30 of 33 shots.
For the Stingrays, Jeff Rainville scored a power-play goal 11 minutes into the first period off a Travis Morin assist. Paul Kelly made it 2-1 for the Stingrays just under six minutes into the third period, when he deflected Sasha Pokuluk's drive.
