Columbus Blue Jackets forward Kent Johnson (upper body) is expected to be out for a while. Blue Jackets head coach Dean Evason told reporters on Saturday morning that Johnson's injury is not short-term. Johnson was hurt versus Buffalo on Thursday and will miss his first game of the season on Saturday when the Blue Jackets host Minnesota. Before getting injured, the 22-year-old was off to an excellent start to the season, notching five points (two goals, three assists) in four games. Johnson's absence will give Zach Aston-Reese an opportunity to impress in a top-six role on Saturday. He collected his first point of the season with the game-winning goal in Thursday's 6-4 victory over Buffalo.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
