Coach John Hynes suggested Wednesday that Josefson (upper body) isn't close to joining the team in practice, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Josefson has already been sidelined since the beginning of the month, but the club has little reason to rush his progress back from the issue. His absence shouldn't be felt in the majority of fantasy leagues, but expect further updates when or if he does return to practice before the regular season closes out.

Josefson (upper body) won't play in Tuesday's game against Winnipeg, Andrew Gross of the Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

After missing the last six, Josefson won't play Tuesday and still seems a ways away from coming back, considering he didn't skate in practice Monday. With eight points in 35 games, his fantasy value is low, even when he returns to full strength.

Josefson (upper body) will be staying in New Jersey for the team's three-game road trip, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 2009 first-round pick has missed out on the Devils' last three games, and looks set to miss at least a total of six with Monday's update. Josefson has failed to pan out as a point-producing forward, but has found a niche in the NHL as a checking forward.

Josefson (upper body) did not take line rushes and thus will not return for Sunday's game against the Blue Jackets, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Josefson misses his third consecutive game to the ailment and the team has not provided any sort of timetable for when he may be able to return. The Swedish pivot posted just three point in 11 games in the month of February, so he isn't a recommended fantasy play in most formats.

Josefson missed Saturday's game against the Bruins due to an upper-body injury, Andrew Gross of the North Jersey Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Josefson checked out of Monday's game against the Canadiens due to an upper-body injury and the Devils are using 11 forwards and seven defenseman with Pavel Zacha (concussion) also banged up and Mike Cammalleri (shoulder) listed as week-to-week.

Josefson (lower body) will not travel with the team for Thursday's game against the Capitals, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

The versatile forward hadn't been an attractive fantasy play due to his bottom-six role -- he's averaged a mere 12:17 of ice time through 35 games this season -- but this injury dampens his value even further. However, if there is a silver lining with this situation, it's that Josefson is still not showing on injured reserve. He'll be reevaluated ahead of Saturday's road game against the Bruins.

Josefsen suffered a lower-body injury in Monday's loss to the Canadiens and did not return.

EDGE Analysis

Josefsen played in just 2:21 before departing, and while the exact nature and severity of the injury is unclear, evidently it was serious enough to prevent his return to the contest. With just eight points and 41 shots on goal in 34 games this year, Josefsen's absence from the lineup isn't likely to send shockwaves through the fantasy universe, but an updated timetable for a return should be provided in the coming days nonetheless.

Josefson assisted a first-period goal in Sunday's 4-1 loss to San Jose.

EDGE Analysis

It looks like the Swede is starting to find his groove with one goal and four assists over the past eight games. The 25-year-old has never had more than 14 NHL points in a season, so he may finally be feeling comfortable in the big league. Still, in the 12 games since the new year, Josefson has only been averaging 13:11 TOI -- barely enough to become a steady fantasy performer. However, if his latest productivity keeps up, coaches may feel he warrants more ice time, especially if the Devils continue to struggle. The former first round pick is a textbook wait-and-see.

Josefson collected a first-period assist during Tuesday's win over Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

It was just the fifth point -- all assists -- through 24 games for Josefson, which highlights his extremely limited fantasy value. The 25-year-old pivot is best left to the waiver wire in all seasonal leagues and ignored in daily contests.

The Devils activated Josefson (illness) off injured reserve Friday.

EDGE Analysis

It isn't clear if Josefson will return to the Devils' lineup for Friday's game against the Flames, but the 25-year-old pivot will be available if and when he's called upon. However, with just two assists in 16 games this season, Josefson isn't worth owning in season-long fantasy formats.
