EDGE Analysis

Although Johnson will miss the next two contests, he'll be eligible return for the Sabres' final game before the All-Star break Saturday against San Jose. Either way, he's picked up only three points through 41 contests this season, so fantasy managers shouldn't need to track his availability.
