TAMPA, Fla.<\/b> — Forward Luke Johnson did not practice with the North Dakota team Friday. Instead, the junior watched his teammates from the stands, with his left leg braced and crutches nearby.<\/p>\n

There’s no official word on Johnson’s injury or status, but he left Thursday’s 4-2 win over Denver in the second period after a mid-ice collision.<\/p>\n

Johnson (11-10–21) played every game for the Fighting Hawks this season, centering a trio that coach Brad Berry calls “The Heavy Line,” flanked by freshman Rhett Gardner on his left and sophomore Austin Poganski to his right. It’s a combo that Berry likes to match against opponents’ top-scoring lines.<\/p>\n

“Well, he’s meant a lot,” Berry said after Thursday’s game. “And again he plays consistent every single game that he plays, but it seems like this time of year he really plays well. He’s a gamer.”<\/p>\n

Johnson’s departure “threw a wrench” into the lineup, according to Berry. Johnson had the game-winning goal against Northeastern in the Midwest Regional and another goal against Michigan in Cincinnati.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
