Rangers' Johnson out for remainder of season
by Brandon Maron from on (#5FKC0)
New York Rangers defenseman Jack Johnson will miss the remainder of the campaign after undergoing core muscle repair surgery, the team announced Saturday.
The Rangers inked Johnson to a one-year, $1.15-million deal during the offseason after the Pittsburgh Penguins bought out his previous contract.
Johnson, 34, had a limited role with the Rangers, averaging a career-low 16:58 per game while only finding his way into the lineup 13 times. He finishes the season with one goal and no assists.
