Johnson (knee) is expected to return during the Avalanche's upcoming five-game road trip that will span last from Mar. 19-26. Coach Patrick Roy relayed that Johnson has been doing well since he resumed skating last week, potentially putting him on track to resume practicing with the Avalanche in the coming days. Assuming that Johnson's recovery continues to progress smoothly, it appears he'll end up hitting the back end of the 3-to-8 week recovery timeline the team set for him when he first required the knee scope in late January. Prior to suffering the injury, Johnson ranked as one of the leading goal scorers among defensemen, producing 12 goals in 47 games.
