Johnson earned an assist in Saturday's wild 6-5 win over the visiting Stars.

EDGE Analysis

The 2006 first overall pick also fired four shots on goal and received 2:53 of power-play time, the most among Avalanche blueliners. More importantly, Johnson spent nearly twice as much time as Tyson Barrie (1:27) on the man advantage, which is worth nothing since Barrie is generally the more offensive-minded of the two and has been the Avs' power-play quarterback for the past couple of seasons. Owners of both players should pay close attention to their ice time in the coming games, especially since there's a new head coach behind the bench in Jared Bednar that might have different ideas for deploying Colorado's defense.
