Stars' Stephen Johns: Healthy scratch, again

Johns will is expected to be a healthy scratch for Monday's game against the Blues, reports Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News.

Analysis:

Johns has just two goals and four points through 16 games this season. Between a stint in the AHL and the Stars carrying eight defensemen, he hasn't found a rhythm. In season-long formats, it's an obstacle to rostering him. Young defenders in Dallas are going to see games as a healthy scratch simply because of the number of D Dallas is carrying.
