Erik Johnson News: Returning against Flames

Johnson (lower body) will rejoin the lineup against Calgary on Monday, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Johnson will be back in action following a three-game stint on the shelf due to his lower-body issue. With the veteran blueliner in the lineup, Keaton Middleton will be a healthy scratch. In six games with the Avalanche, Johnson has yet to register a point, but wasn't brought back to Colorado to be an offensive contributor anyway.
