Marcus Johansson News

Johansson is day-to-day with a lower-body ailment he is dealing with after Sunday’s loss in Tampa Bay. Jean-Sebastian Dea will draw into the lineup for Johansson.

Johansson missed Saturday’s game vs. the Panthers but will draw back in tonight in Tampa Bay. Johansson, who will skate on a line with Pavel Zacha and Jean-Sebastian Dea, has just one goal and one assist in seven games this season.

Johansson missed Friday’s practice with an illness and will not play this afternoon. Joey Anderson has been recalled from the AHL and will make his NHL debut. Johansson should be ready to return next Tuesday in Tampa Bay.

Johansson missed Friday’s practice with an illness, but head coach John Hynes is hopeful that he will be available to play vs. the Panthers. If Johansson can’t play, the Devils will need to recall a forward.

Johansson has been out since January 23rd and will not travel on the Devils’ upcoming five-game road-trip. The Devils added some wing depth at the deadline to help with Johansson’s absence, but his eventual return will make them an even deeper team.

Johansson took what looked to be a purposeful elbow to the head from Brad Marchand in the third period and had to be attended to by the training staff. Johansson did not return to the game and Marchand will have a hearing for the incident. Johansson likely won’t be available for Thursday’s game but could be ready after the All-Star break.

Johansson has been battling injuries all season-long, only appearing in 15 of the Devils’ first 33 games. Most recently he has missed the last four games with an ankle injury but will draw back in tonight. Johansson has four goals and three assists (seven points).

Johansson left Saturday’s game in New York after blocking a shot and will come out of the lineup tonight vs. the Kings. With Johansson out, Drew Stafford is expected to draw back in up front.

Johansson has missed exactly one month with a concussion, but will return to the lineup tonight in Colorado. Johansson, who had three goals and two assists (five points) in 10 games this season will skate on the Devils’ second line with Travis Zajac and Pavel Zacha.

Johansson has been out since November 1st and will not play Monday vs. the Panthers, but it looks like he can return on their upcoming road trip. Johansson has five points (3G / 2A) in 10 games this season.

Johansson left Wednesday’s game after crashing face-first into the board in Vancouver. He will be held out for a suspected concussion and is questionable for Sunday’s game in Calgary.

Johansson returned to the lineup on Wednesday after missing one game with a lower-body injury and he did not last long. Johansson crashed face-first into the end boards during his first shift of the game, but was able to leave the ice under his own power after being attended to by the medical staff. Head coach John Hynes said Johansson will be re-evaluated on Thursday.
