Blue Jackets' Jack Johnson: Returning to Columbus
Johnson signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Blue Jackets on Tuesday, per PuckPedia.
Johnson had a seven-year stint with the Blue Jackets earlier in his career, which accounted for most of his most successful seasons. At 37 years old, it's unlikely he returns to his former glory on offense. Instead, Johnson will likely serve as a veteran leader for the Blue Jackets' young roster, and he's expected to fill a third-pairing role.

Avalanche's Jack Johnson: Adds assist in victory
Johnson recorded an assist, two blocks and two hits in Tuesday's 3-1 win over Vancouver.

Avalanche's Jack Johnson: Scratched Tuesday
Johnson was a healthy scratch for Tuesday's loss to the Devils.
The Avalanche called up Sam Malinski on Monday to join them on a post-break road trip. He didn't play in a loss to the Rangers on Monday but he was in the lineup against New Jersey. Rotating Johnson and Malinski appears to be the plan down the stretch, per Evan Rawal of Colorado Hockey Now. The 6-foot-1, 227-pound Johnson is expected to play against the heavier teams. When the Avs aren't expecting a physical game, Malinski may get the call.

Avalanche's Jack Johnson: Sitting out Wednesday
Johnson will be held out of Wednesday's matchup with Washington due to a nagging undisclosed injury, Marc Moser of Altitude Sports 950 reports.
Johnson previously missed time with a lower-body injury but it's not clear if this persistent problem is related. With the 37-year-old veteran coming out of the lineup, a healthy Bowen Byram (lower body) will play for the first time since Jan. 4 against Dallas. Johnson's lack of offensive upside figures to keep him a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.

Avalanche's Jack Johnson: Hurt in Saturday's game
Johnson (lower body) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Maple Leafs, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.
Johnson was missing from the Avalanche's bench during the third period. With injuries piling up around the lineup for the team, a recall from AHL Colorado may be in order soon. Valeri Nichushkin (illness) was out Saturday, so the Avalanche dressed eight defensemen, which should allow them to at least weather Johnson's potential absence.

Avalanche's Jack Johnson: Posts assist in win
Johnson recorded an assist, four blocked shots, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Sabres.
Johnson went nearly a month between points -- his drought stood at 13 games before he set up a Sam Malinski tally in the third. The 36-year-old Johnson maintains his place in the lineup for his defensive acumen rather than his offense, so long stretches between points aren't uncommon for him. On the year, he's produced a goal, four helpers, 37 shots on net, 29 blocked shots, 19 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-5 rating across 29 outings in a third-pairing role.

Johnson scored a goal and added three hits in Saturday's 8-2 loss to the Blues.
Johnson hadn't gotten on the scoresheet since Opening Night versus the Kings. The 36-year-old defenseman has a goal and an assist through 13 contests. He's added 14 shots on net, six hits, nine blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating. Johnson's physicality was one of his selling points in his prime, but he's clearly starting to tone it down in that area. As a result, he is not an option for most fantasy managers.
