Jacob Josefson (lower body) participated in team drills Tuesday and he expects to play in the New Jersey Devils' season opener Saturday. Josefon, who has been nursing what is believed to be a sore knee, also said he hopes to play in Wednesday's scrimmage against the New Jersey Devils' AHL affiliate. With Adam Henrique (thumb) sidelined to begin the year, Josefson could make major gains toward an increased role this season. While he's not worthy of being drafted in most leagues, Josefson bears watching from the waiver wire.
