Avalanche coach Roy: Erik Johnson out 3-8 weeks following knee scope

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Erik Johnson missed the weekend's All-Star festivities, and it turns out he'll be out a lot longer.

Head coach Patrick Roy revealed Monday Johnson will miss the next three-to-eight weeks after undergoing a knee scope.

"He is, first of all, very disappointed about the situation," Roy said. "(But) it's out of our control."

Johnson registered 23 points in 47 games.
