CENTENNIAL, Colo.--Defenseman Erik Johnson is likely to miss the Colorado Avalanche's next two games due to a concussion.
"He's going to be out," said Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar after the club's practice on Sunday. "He's going to go through concussion protocol. He is likely not a player for us here before the (all-star) break."
Johnson is slated to miss Colorado's home games on Monday afternoon against the Nashville Predators and Wednesday night versus the Minnesota Wild. The Avs then go into a nine-day stretch without a contest for the NHL All-Star Game and the team's bye week.
