Kent Johnson Out Indefinitely with Upper Body Injury
7 comments
Did not see that one coming
Pain.
Since nothing obvious happened last night I’m guessing it’s a concussion. What a shitty season for him. Up and down to the AHL, averaging less TOI than Eric Robinson when he was with us, and never playing center all season all for it to end with the dreaded upper body injury.
I don’t want to hear shit about Vincent developing talent. Voronkov still isn’t on the first powerplay unit despite having the best scoring pace on the team of late, Jiricek is disgruntled, Fantilli got demoted from centering the Russians to 2nd/3rd line winger, and Johnson is just buried in the depth chart as a winger.
That sucks.
But he’ll prolly get more ice time being on IR than when he was in lineup. Just trying to stay positive.
Get well soon, KJ.
what’s the concern level on KJ? two years in and he’s been decent at best with some flashes but this year was a mess. For a fifth overall pick i expected more. He’s still young and has those flashes though so still hope.
