Report: Blue Jackets’ Johnson out indefinitely

The Columbus Blue Jackets will be without defenseman Jack Johnson for the foreseeable future.

The 29-year-old is out indefinitely with an upper-body injury, according to Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch.

Johnson was forced from Thursday's game against the New Jersey Devils with the injury in the second period.

He had dressed in 60 of the team's 62 games this season, recording six goals and 14 points. Meanwhile, the Blue Jackets are expected to call up a replacement from their American Hockey League affiliate.
