EDGE Analysis

The Swedish forward has now missed four games due to the injury, but there are some positive signs that he'll be able to play Thursday. At Wednesday's practice, Johansson participated fully, skating on the team's second line -- alongside Travis Zajac and Brian Gibbons -- and was included on the second power-play unit. New Jersey should provide an update on Johansson's status following Thursday's morning skate.
