Josefson (undisclosed) will be a game-time call Friday night against the Islanders, Tom Gulitti of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

New Jersey has three forwards on injured reserve -- including a prolific offensive producer in Michael Cammalleri (hand) -- so the Devils really need Josefson to suit up Friday. Of course, with seven healthy defensemen on the active roster, one of those players could slide over to a forward spot in the bottom-six. As of Friday morning, the Devils have not called anyone up from the minors, suggesting that Josefson has a decent chance to draw into the evening contest.
