Jacob Josefson News

Josefson recently returned to the Sabres’ lineup and had a goal and an assist in three games before leaving Saturday’s game in Montreal prematurely. Josefson will be out until at least late-December.

Josefson left Sunday’s game in Anaheim with a lower-body injury and missed Tuesday’s game in Vegas as a result. Head coach Phil Housley came out on Thursday and said that Josefson will miss a couple weeks with the ailment.

Josefson missed the Devils’ morning skate and will not play against the Bruins. With Josefson out, Pavel Zacha will be back in the lineup. Consider him as day-to-day.

Josefson, 25, is a former first round pick (20th overall in 2009), who has struggled to find any offence in his NHL career. The Sweden native has recorded just 17 goals and 33 assists (50 points) in 238 career NHL games (all with the Devils) and he should once again find himself in the Devils’ bottom-6 to begin 2016-17.

Josefson will be reevaluated on Monday and has a few days to recover before the Devils play the Sharks on Thursday. With Josefson out, Bobby Farnham will draw into the lineup.

Josfeson is dealing with an undisclosed ailment and could miss tonight’s game vs. the Islanders. If Josefson can’t play, the Devils could go with seven defensemen.

Josefson has missed the last four games with an illness, but returned to practice today. The Devils are back in action on Tuesday and Josefson's availability this morning bodes well for him returning to the lineup tomorrow vs. the Sabres.

Josefson missed Monday’s game with an illness and will miss a little more time while he is being tested for mumps.

Another Devils’ forward is out with an illness. As of right now it doesn’t appear that Josefson’s illness is the mumps, but it will keep him out of the lineup anyways.

Josefson has missed the last three games with a groin injury he suffered on December 17th vs. Ottawa. He will be back tonight having scored three points (1G / 2A) in 25 games this season.
