Johnson (upper body) won't play Saturday against San Jose but should be available after the All-Star break, coach Don Granato told Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has three points (all goals), 24 PIM, 57 hits and 57 blocks in 41 contests this season. When he's healthy, Johnson will likely serve on the third pairing, though he might occasionally also be a healthy scratch.
