Top Erik Johnson News

  • Avalanche's Erik Johnson: Finishes comeback with empty-netter

    Johnson scored an empty-net goal, added two PIM and logged two hits in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.

    Johnson has two points over his last six games as he continues to see steady ice time while the Avalanche deal with injuries and give some of their top players rest. Johnson finishes the regular season with two goals, five points, 37 shots on net, 59 hits, 26 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 36 appearances between the Avalanche and the Flyers. If Colorado's defense is fully healthy to begin the postseason, Johnson may find himself back in the press box, but he's likely to be the first man up should injuries keep anyone out.

  • Avalanche's Erik Johnson: First point since return

    Johnson notched an assist and two blocked shots in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

    This was Johnson's first point in nine appearances since returning to the Avalanche in a deadline-day deal with the Flyers. The 37-year-old has just four points to go with 26 shots on net, 55 hits, 20 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 31 outings this season. He'll likely play regularly until Josh Manson (upper body) is able to return.

  • Avalanche's Erik Johnson: 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.

  • Avalanche's Erik Johnson: Won't play Saturday

    Johnson (lower body) won't be in the lineup versus the Blues on Saturday, per Ryan Boulding of NHL.com.

    Johnson will miss his third straight game. He hasn't earned a point in six appearances with Colorado this season while posting nine shots on goal, three blocked shots and eight hits. Due to Johnson's absence, Keaton Middleton will play against St. Louis on Saturday.

  • Avalanche's Erik Johnson: Sitting out Thursday

    Johnson (lower body) won't play against the Kings on Thursday, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

    Johnson participated in the morning skate but remains day-to-day, and he will miss his second straight game. It's unclear if he will be ready to return to action versus St. Louis on Saturday. Due to Johnson's absence, Keaton Middleton will probably remain in the lineup against Los Angeles.

  • Avalanche's Erik Johnson: Won't suit up against Detroit

    Johnson (lower body) won't play against Detroit on Tuesday, according to Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.

    Johnson was injured Saturday in Montreal and didn't participate in Monday's practice. While Johnson won't play Tuesday, the Avalanche will have Samuel Girard (lower body) back in the lineup. Johnson's next chance to return to game action will come Thursday against the Kings.

  • Avalanche's Erik Johnson: Considered day-to-day

    Head coach Jared Bednar said Monday that Johnson is considered day-to-day due to a minor lower-body injury, Meghan Angley of Guerilla Sports reports.

    Johnson tweaked something during Saturday's win over Montreal, and he took a maintenance day Monday. While his injury doesn't sound particularly serious, it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Tuesday's game against the Red Wings. The 37-year-old had appeared in Colorado's last five games, and he was held without a point while recording five hits and three blocked shots.

  • Avalanche's Erik Johnson: Returning to Colorado

    Johnson was acquired by Colorado from Philadelphia on Friday in exchange for Givani Smith, per RDS.ca.

    Johnson has a goal, three points, 11 PIM, 40 hits and 14 blocks in 22 outings with the Flyers this season. He probably will spend most of his time with Colorado as a healthy scratch unless the Avalanche need help due to injuries. Still, the 36-year-old should be a positive presence in the locker room, especially because he has a long history with the franchise. Johnson logged 717 regular-season games with the Avalanche before parting ways as an unrestricted free agent in 2023.

  • Flyers' Erik Johnson: Press box regular again

    Johnson was scratched for the fifth game in a row in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Flames.

    Johnson is clearly the seventh defenseman on the Flyers' roster and has spent large portions of the season as a healthy scratch. Pending any trades affecting the blue line, Johnson is poised to spend most of the rest of the campaign as a scratch as well. He has just three points with 14 shots on net, 40 hits, 14 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 22 appearances.

  • Flyers' Erik Johnson: Grabs helper in rare appearance

    Johnson logged an assist and two hits in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Islanders.

    Prior to Friday, Johnson had been scratched for 29 consecutive games. He stepped right in when Egor Zamula (upper body) was unable to play, and Johnson delivered a helper on Tyson Foerster's tally. Johnson has three points, six shots on net, nine PIM, 25 hits and 10 blocked shots over 16 outings this season, though there's no guarantee he stays in the lineup when the Flyers are back to full health.

  • Flyers' Erik Johnson: Remains stuck in press box

    Johnson has been scratched for 24 consecutive games after sitting out Monday's 4-3 win over the Panthers.

    Given head coach John Tortorella's propensity to tinker with his lineup, it's a significant surprise that a veteran like Johnson hasn't been able to get into the lineup. The 36-year-old Johnson has two points, 23 hits, 10 blocked shots and nine PIM over 15 outings. There's no telling when Johnson might get into a game again, so he doesn't need to be monitored in fantasy.

  • Flyers' Erik Johnson: Waiting for opportunity again

    Johnson was scratched for the 10th game in a row when he sat out Thursday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

    This is Johnson's longest stretch in the press box. He played regularly when Cam York and Jamie Drysdale were both hurt, but they're now healthy. Head coach John Tortorella is also giving long looks to Emil Andrae and Egor Zamula, which has left no room for Johnson to check into the lineup. The 36-year-old has two points, five shots on net, nine PIM, 10 blocked shots and 23 hits over 15 outings.

  • Flyers' Erik Johnson: Scores, fights in win

    Johnson scored a goal and added a fighting major in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Sharks.

    Johnson was busy in the first two minutes of the game, scoring the opening goal and fighting Givani Smith. This was Johnson's first game back in the lineup after being a healthy scratch for three contests. He took Jamie Drysdale's (upper body) place in the lineup, though Johnson may return to the press box once Cam York (upper body) is cleared to play. Through 11 appearances, Johnson has two points, four shots on net, 19 hits, eight blocked shots and nine PIM.

  • Flyers' Erik Johnson: Helps out on penalty kill

    Johnson logged an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Flames.

    Johnson's assist came on a shorthanded tally by Travis Konecny in the second period. The 36-year-old Johnson appears to have the trust of head coach John Tortorella in a third-pairing role. Last season, Johnson managed just six points over 67 regular-season games between Buffalo and Philadelphia, though he also had 143 hits and 97 blocked shots. The veteran defenseman will play a limited role in 2024-25 and does not need to be tracked closely in fantasy.

  • Flyers' Erik Johnson: Staying in Philly

    Johnson signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Flyers on Monday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

    Johnson chipped in five goals, one assist, 60 shots on net, 97 blocked shots and 143 hits in 67 regular-season games between Philadelphia and Buffalo in 2023-24. He will probably occupy a depth spot on the Flyers' blue line in the upcoming campaign.

  • Flyers' Erik Johnson: Lone goal vs. Washington

    Johnson scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Capitals.

    Johnson got the Flyers on the board midway through the second period, tipping an Egor Zamula shot past Charlie Lindgren to tie the game 1-1. The 36-year-old Johnson picked up two goals and three points in the last four games of the campaign after going scoreless in his first 13 contests with the Flyers. Johnson will wrap up the season with five goals and six points across 67 games between the Flyers and Sabres.

  • Flyers' Erik Johnson: Set for Flyers debut

    Johnson (illness) will be in the lineup versus Tampa Bay on Saturday, Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Johnson last played with the Sabres on Feb. 27, sitting out five straight games. The 35-year-old blueliner is now poised to make his debut with Philadelphia after he was dealt before Friday's deadline. Johnson has three goals, 68 blocked shots and 93 hits in 50 games this season. He'll likely skate alongside Ronnie Attard on the Flyers' third pairing.

  • Flyers' Erik Johnson: Dealt to Philadelphia

    Johnson (illness) was traded from Buffalo to Philadelphia in exchange for a 2024 fourth-round pick Friday, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

    Johnson should replace Adam Ginning on the third pairing once he arrives and is healthy enough to play for the Flyers. Johnson has three goals, 93 hits and 68 blocked shots in 50 games this season.

  • Sabres' Erik Johnson: Won't return Thursday

    Johnson (illness) won't return for Thursday's game against Nashville, according to Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News.

    Johnson has three goals, 24 PIM, 93 hits and 68 blocks in 50 appearances with Buffalo this season. This will be his fifth consecutive contest on the shelf. Johnson might serve on the third pairing once he's healthy.

  • Sabres' Erik Johnson: Out Wednesday

    Johnson (illness) will miss Wednesday's contest against Toronto, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

    It will be Buffalo's fourth straight game without Johnson. He has three points (all goals), 93 hits and 68 blocks in 50 contests this season. When Johnson's available, he might serve on the third pairing.
