A hand injury sustained in Saturday's game at St. Louis will keep Colorado's Erik Johnson out of tonight's match against visiting Nashville. Depth could be a problem against the Preds, though coach Joe Sacco has eight defensemen at his disposal. Still, Johnson joins Shane O'Brien (knee) in the press box tonight. Matt Hunwick will step in for Johnson with Ryan Wilson, just getting back into form after a concussion, suiting up in O'Brien's absence. Johnson is 1-15-16 and minus-9 in 38 games.
