Erik Johnson News
Buffalo Sabres defenseman Erik Johnson (upper body) and forward Zemgus Girgensons (undisclosed) are both expected to return to the lineup to take on the visiting Dallas Stars on Tuesday. Johnson has missed the past four games following an upper-body injury sustained against the Chicago Blackhawks on Jan. 18. The former No. 1 overall pick was cleared by team doctors on Monday after returning to practice on Jan. 26. He has three goals in 41 games this season. Girgensons returned to practice on Sunday after missing one game after suffering an injury in the team's second-to-last pre-All-Star break contest against the Los Angeles Kings on Jan. 24. He has four goals in 31 games on the season and skated on the team's fourth line on Sunday.
Colorado Avalanche defenseman Erik Johnson will sit out Tuesday's Game 1 against the Kraken as a healthy scratch. The veteran was limited to only eight points in 63 regular-season games and failed to score a single goal while recording 121 hits and 102 blocks. He will be replaced in the lineup by Jack Johnson, who tallied similar numbers during the regular season, going for eight points, 117 hits and 127 blocks. There's not enough room for both players in the lineup, as Cale Makar (lower body) and Josh Manson (lower body) return to action.
Colorado Avalanche defenseman Erik Johnson produced two points in a 7-5 victory, handing Philadelphia their ninth straight loss Monday. Johnson, who has had several injury plagued seasons in recent years, has played in all 22 Avalanche contests so far. He's registered three goals and six helpers while averaging over 18 minutes of ice time per game for Colorado. At 33 years old, the Minnesota native recently played in his 800th career game. However, despite being a solid veteran defenseman, Johnson doesn't make much of an impact in fantasy hockey.
Life got a little bit easier for the Colorado Avalanche with the upcoming expansion draft set to fill the roster of the new Seattle Kraken club, which begins play in 2021-22. Veteran defenseman Erik Johnson agreed to waive his no-movement clause, which allows the club to leave him unprotected during the expansion process. The 33-year-old played in just four games this past season due to concussion symptoms. Johnson has two years remaining on his current contract with a $6 million cap hit each season. That makes it unlikely that he'll be taken by the Kraken in the expansion draft and allows the Avalanche to protect an extra player who is more likely to figure into the club's long-term plans.
