Erik Johnson went out of his way to help Jett Luchanko, a commendable deed in the defenseman's journey to 1,000 career NHL games.
VOORHEES, N.J. — When Erik Johnson was selected first overall at the 2006 NHL draft, Jett Luchanko wasn't alive yet.
"He has his ups and downs on the ice, as he should at this stage in his career with some of the speed in today's game, but he's such a good pro and he's just a good person." "I had like 700-and-something games and I was fully content with retiring just because of the concussion and the injuries as a whole," Johnson said Saturday."Thinking back, what has happened since then, it's just amazing all that has gone right. The great moments I've been able to share and accomplish with my teammates. A lot of people to thank along the way just to get me to this point from where I was then.
