Erik Johnson out "weeks"

Question is: Will Avs put him on LTIR?

Erik Johnson had a good, long run of health until a few days ago, when he suffered a likely broken foot blocking a shot. He was healthy last season, won a Stanley Cup, and had stayed healthy all through this season.

But, after the Avalanche’s 4-3 shootout loss tonight to Tampa Bay, Bednar said EJ will be out “weeks” with his lower-body injury.
