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.
