Erik Johnson didn't return to Wednesday's game after the first intermission because he was dealing with back spasms. The timing of this injury is particularly unfortunate, as Johnson was on a four-game point streak going into Wednesday's contest. Colorado won't play on Thursday, but they have three games in four days starting on Friday, so Johnson might end up missing a decent chunk of playing time even if his injury turns out to be relatively minor.
