Tyler Johnson's All-Star debut didn't end up being much of a debut.

Johnson missed Saturday's Skills Competition and will not play in the All-Star Game on Sunday due to a lower-body injury, according to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun.

Unlike players who dropped out of the event due to injury concerns, Johnson will not be forced to miss the next Tampa Bay Lightning game since he is in Columbus for the weekend. Johnson participated in Friday's fantasy draft.
