Johnson (lower body) could return to the lineup against Chicago on Thursday, Adrian Dater of ColoradoHockeyNow.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson will probably be handed a game-time decision label ahead of Thursday's clash. The blueliner has been on the shelf for the Avs' previous 10 contests due to his lower-body issue. The Minnesota native should get back to logging between 20-25 minutes per night once officially given the all-clear and activated off injured reserve.

Johnson (lower body) won't travel with the team on its upcoming road trip, Ryan S. Clark of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson put in a full practice Sunday, although he wore a no-contact sweater. The team will keep the veteran blueliner on injured reserve along with Cale Makar (upper body). Johnson will aim to return to the lineup Thursday against the Hurricanes.

Johnson (lower body) wore a no-contact jersey during Sunday's practice, Bill Meltzer of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has missed the last nine games, but he appears to be inching closer to a return. The veteran blueliner could suit up Monday against the Blues. Johnson's status isn't a concern for season-long fantasy owners since he's accrued just six points over 23 games.

Coach Jared Bednar is hoping Johnson (lower body) will be able to return to practice in a non-contact jersey Sunday, Ryan S. Clark of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

While a return to practice in a non-contact capacity would represent a step in the right direction, it wouldn't necessarily indicate that Johnson's return to game action is imminent. Once healthy, the 31-year-old blueliner will return to a top-four role and a spot on Colorado's penalty-killing unit.

Coach Jared Bednar described Johnson (lower body) as week-to-week after Monday's practice, Mike Chambers of the Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson hasn't played since Nov. 23, and he doesn't appear to be particularly close to returning. He hasn't been much of a factor offensively when out there, posting just one goal and five assists in 23 appearances.

Johnson (lower body) has been ruled out for Colorado's next three games, Adrian Dater of ColoradoHockeyNow.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson will be back no earlier than Dec. 4 in Toronto. Whenever the defenseman returns, he'll look to add to his meager total of six points through 23 games.

Johnson (lower body) is considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Oilers, Ryan S. Clark of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was starting to perform well before being boarded by Toronto's Alex Kerfoot during Saturday's loss, producing five assists over the previous eight games. Kerfoot has been suspended two games for the incident. If Johnson's unable to recover in time, Mark Barberio is the front runner to fill in, although Calle Rosen's in contention as well.

Johnson was absent from Monday's practice session, Ryan S. Clark of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Considering the force with which Johnson went into the board against Toronto on Saturday, it shouldn't be a shock to see him missing from practice. Whether the blueliner is unable to play against Edmonton on Wednesday remains to be seen, however, the club promote Calle Rosen from AHL Colorado just in case.

Johnson notched an assist, six blocked shots, three shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson set up Pierre-Edouard Bellemare for the game's first goal. Other than the helper, it was a strong defensive effort for Johnson. He has four assists in his last five games, and five points in 20 contests overall. The 31-year-old has added 33 hits and 40 blocked shots this season.

Johnson registered an even-strength assist in Thursday's 6-2 loss to Edmonton.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old defenseman only has five points in 2019-20. Based on Johnson's current level of production, he doesn't belong in fantasy lineups. The veteran blueliner has, however, posted back-to-back 25-point campaigns, making him a solid bench stash in deeper formats.
