Lightning's Tyler Johnson: Won't need surgery

Johnson (lower body) doesn't require surgery and needs just 1-to-2 weeks of rest, Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

The center missed 14 of the Bolts' last 16 games dealing with the injury, but with the season over, he'll have no rush to get back to full strength. It would take a major setback for him to not be ready by the time next season comes around.
