Jacob Josefson (lower body) was held out of Monday's practice as a precaution, but he is expected to skate on Tuesday. He has been nursing what is believed to be a sore knee, which he sustained in the AHL, but Devils coach Pete DeBoer is confident that Josefson will be ready for the team's opening contest on Saturday. "He probably could have [skated today], but no sense rushing it right now," DeBoer said. "He's a guy that's been playing all year, so we're just being a little safe."
