Avalanche's Johnson set for short-term absence
by from on (#ZQSJ)
Colorado Avalanche defenseman Erik Johnson looks to have escaped serious injury after leaving Monday's game against the Los Angeles Kings.
Johnson left the game with a lower-body injury, but head coach Patrick Roy expects the injury won't keep him out long.
"It could be five, 10 days, 12 days - short term," Roy said.
Johnson has seven goals and 16 points in 40 games this season.
