Johns (upper body) will be a full participant in Monday's practice and should suit up on Tuesday against Vegas, Mike Heika of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old blueliner suffered the upper-body injury in Friday's contest against the Flames, and fortunately it appears that he won't miss a game. However, with just five points on the season, Johns' status probably doesn't have much fantasy relevance.

Johns sustained an upper-body injury in Friday night's 6-4 win over the Flames, the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

A burgeoning defenseman, Johns was limited to 8:18 of ice time and departed in the second period. While Stars goalies and select fantasy owners will cringe at the thought of possibly losing a guy who's amassed 49 hits and 33 blocked shots through 20 games, the silver lining is that Dallas doesn't hit the ice for another game until Tuesday against the Golden Knights. We fully expect Johns to be reevaluated ahead of that contest.

Johns laid eight hits and blocked three shots in the Stars' loss to Carolina on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Despite only appearing in 14 games, Johns ranks third on the team in hits and second in blocked shots. He can provide value there, but his offense leaves something to be desired. The 25-year-old averages less than two shots per game and has just five points on the year.

Johns buried a goal and had a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-1 victory over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Although he recently missed three games with a concussion, the 25-year-old defenseman has two goals and four points in his last five games -- more than enough to warrant a closer look in deeper leagues.

Johns (concussion) will play Thursday night against the Jets, NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This snaps a string of three consecutive absences for Johns, who is now projected to slot in on the third defensive pair with Esa Lindell. Expect steady two-way totals for the former once he gets settled back in -- through nine games, Johns has put up three points, a plus-2 rating, 18 hits and 19 blocked shots.

Johns (concussion) is likely to rejoin the lineup Thursday, with the Stars on the road to take on the Jets, the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The American defenseman had been playing well with three points, nine hits, nine blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over five games prior to his sustaining the injury. Johns is still relatively inexperienced, though, so it's all about the Stars figuring out the best way to utilize him.

Johns (concussion) will not suit up against the Canucks on Monday, Mike Heika of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johns was not expected to play Monday, so it shouldn't come as a surprise to see him officially ruled out. The most difficult part of replacing the 25-year-old will come on the penalty kill where he is averaging 2:50 of ice time. Jamie Oleksiak figures to continue serving as a fill in on the blue line until Johns is given the all-clear.

Johns (concussion) probably won't be ready to play Monday in Vancouver, Mark Stepneski of the Stars' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Assuming the assessment holds true, Johns will miss a third straight contest as a result of the concussion and the Stars will likely roll with the same six defensemen again Monday. As a result, Jamie Oleksiak and Esa Lindell should continue to see extended looks on the blue line.

Johns (concussion) remains unavailable for Friday's contest against the Flames, Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johns will miss his second straight contest due to concussion symptoms, opening the door for Jamie Oleksiak in the lineup for second straight tilt. The blueliner's next opportunity to rejoin the action arrives Monday when the Stars travel to Vancouver.

Johns (concussion) won't be available for Thursday's road clash against the Oilers, Mark Stepneski of the Stars' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The third-year blueliner was limited to 5:32 of ice time Tuesday against the Avalanche, and given the serous and complicated nature of concussions, it's no surprise that he needs to sit this next one out. Look for Jamie Oleksiak or Greg Pateryn to take his spot in the lineup and fill out the bottom pair with Esa Lindell.
