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.
