Hockey Betting Lines

08/02/2010 - St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The St. Louis Blues have signed defenseman Erik Johnson to a new two-year contract.

"We're excited that we have reached a deal with Erik and now we can put our focus on the upcoming season," said Blues general manager Doug Armstrong. "Erik is a key contributor to the group and we are confident he will build on the success he had in the 2009-10 season."

The 22-year-old Johnson set both career highs and led all St. Louis defensemen with 39 points, 10 goals and 29 assists over 79 games in 2009-10.

He missed the entire 2008-09 season after tearing two ligaments in his right knee during a summer golf outing when his right foot got caught between the accelerator and the brake of his golf cart.

The first overall pick in the 2006 NHL Draft, Johnson enjoyed a solid rookie campaign in 2007-08, registering five goals and 33 points in 69 games for the Blues.
