According to Michael Russo of the Star Tribune, Colorado Avalanche defenseman Erik Johnson will not receive further discipline for his elbow to the head of Minnesota Wild forward Erik Haula.

Johnson received a major penalty for elbowing and a game misconduct at 2:23 of the second period.

Colorado was blanked by Minnesota for the second time in three nights, 3-0 Saturday.

The Avalanche visit the Boston Bruins Monday in search of their first win of the season.
