Erik Johnson Out 3-4 Months with Torn Ligament in Knee
Posted 5:01 PM ET | Comments 1
The news has come out regarding the status of Erik Johnson's knee, and it isn't good.
I just got done talking to a source within the organization that told me the Blues' defenseman is out 3-4 months. Doctors in Cleveland discovered a torn ligament in his right knee after taking an MRI.
Johnson injured his knee last week while on a team golf trip.
Expect the Blues to push towards acquiring Mathieu Schneider now that Johnson will be out for an extended amount of time.
