Erik Johnson, obtained by the Colorado Avalanche as the key figure in a major off-season deal with the St. Louis Blues primarily for his offensive prowess as a defenseman, has not scored a goal in 25 games this season. "I know I'm counted on to produce offense, to produce on the power play. I've never really been in kind of an offensive rut like this in my career," Johnson said. "I've just got to do a little bit better job of maybe jumping into the play a little more. I know some goals will come, but it's getting a little bit into the season now and I know I have to produce." With lots of ice time - his average of 21:58 per game is second-highest on the team - and plenty of power-play time, Johnson's lack of scoring has hurt the Avs, who have lost three consecutive games.
