Colorado Avalanche

Avalanche defenseman Erik Johnson is not traveling with the team and will miss consecutive-night, two city games beginning Thursday at the Arizona Coyotes. Colorado's only selected NHL all-star has missed the past 21 games after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery in the days leading into January's all-star break. But Johnson is close to coming off the injured reserve, and could be poised to play in the final 11 games starting Monday at Calgary. – Denver Post

Dallas Stars

John Klingberg looks good to go Thursday. He has missed three games with an upper body injury, but the Stars sent Jamie Oleksiak back to the AHL, so they have only six defesemen right now. That means Klingberg is ready to return. – Dallas Morning News
