JOHNSON / CURRY
Curry was recalled yesterday by the Penguins as back-up Brent Johnson was hurt during Friday's game against the NY Rangers; Johnson didn't practice and isn't expected to take part in this afternoon's game (which is why Curry was recalled), but HC Bylsma has reported that Johnson's injury is not serious according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:

"I don't think it's serious. He probably needs a few days to get back over the [Olympics] break, and he'll be good," Bylsma said of Johnson, who left Friday during the second period of a 3-2 overtime loss to the New York Rangers because of what is believed to be a leg or groin injury.
