Jokinen (knee) was retroactively placed on injured reserve Friday, George Richards of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jokinen's timeline to return has not changed, he remains probable to be cleared next week as this is strictly as a roster/salary cap related move. With the emergence of Jonathan Marchessault, Jokinen could find himself relegated to a second line role once he is ready to return. Regardless of where he slots into the depth chart, the winger is certainly capable of recording his fourth consecutive 40+ point season.
