[Brent] Johnson stopped 14 of 15 shots, but he tweaked a knee midway through the second period on a collision with Toronto center Tyler Bozak. It occurred after Johnson stopped Bozak's shot, the rebound of which was stuffed into an open net by Maple Leafs winger Viktor Stahlberg.

Get well soon Johnny...
Hopefully it’s minor, but Johnny’s been around the block a few times, and the tendency for older players is to get more injuries, not fewer… alas.
Let's go Caps!
I don’t think this is too serious. In the article it says he played the rest of the period and they just took him out to be safe since it was a worthless game.
Comment first, think second, read third.
I watched the game. Johnson got bowled into, but certainly not anything out of the ordinary. He stayed down for a few minutes after the goal, trainers came out and took a look but he stayed in the game.
But even when it came to getting back up he was moving very slow, looked real cautious. I could tell something wasn’t right.
I’m glad to hear he didn’t re-agg the hip though, it looked at first like that could have been the case.
I don’t know how serious it is, I can keep ya’ll updated here if/when I hear something.

A little note in the PG today, seems like Johnson isn’t hurt very badly at all…
Bylsma said goalie Brent Johnson, who injured his right knee in Toronto, should practice today.
