from Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch,
Blues defenseman Erik Johnson has a torn ACL in his right knee and will undergo surgery in a couple of weeks, a source has told the Post-Dispatch.
Johnson, 20, is expected to be sidelined six to nine months after injuring his knee in a golf-cart incident last week at the Lake of the Ozarks.

Wow, what a crappy way to lose a player for the season. Especially in a building season like the blues are going to have.
