Colorado Avalanche defenseman Erik Johnson looks to have escaped serious injury after leaving Monday's game against the Los Angeles Kings.

Johnson left the game with a lower-body injury, but head coach Patrick Roy expects the injury won't keep him out long.

"It could be five, 10 days, 12 days - short term," Roy said.

Johnson has seven goals and 16 points in 40 games this season.
