Josefson (illness) will not suit up against the Panthers on Monday, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Josefson remains on injured reserve and will need to be activated before he can return to the lineup. Since the start of December, the blueliner has appeared in just three contests, in which he averaged a mere 13:37 of ice time. Given the depth for New Jersey down the middle, it is unclear if the 25-year-old will even be in the game-day roster once given the thumbs up to play.

Josefson (illness) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Devils play-by-play announcer Matt Loughlin reports.

EDGE Analysis

Between battles with concussions near the tail end of 2016 and this latest illness, Josefson has had a tough go of it this campaign. Even in the 16 games that he's managed to play, the Swede's been delicately managed with the pivot only averaging 11:50 of ice time per contest. Taking his spot on the active roster is defenseman Yohann Auvitu.

Josefson (illness) won't be in the lineup for Friday's game against Toronto, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Josefson will miss a third consecutive game Friday, but his absence won't impact many fantasy owners' lineups, as his nearly nonexistent offensive production -- two assists in 16 games this season -- keeps him off the fantasy radar in most season-long formats. The Devils should release another update on the 25-year-old pivot's status once he's ready to return to game action.

Josefson (illness) will miss his second straight game when the Devils play the Hurricanes on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Josefson provides good bottom-six production for New Jersey, but that doesn't really translate into good fantasy production in the majority of formats. The 25-year-old will have three days to get healthy before the Devils' home game against the Maple Leafs on Friday.

Josefson (illness) won't play in Monday's tilt with Boston, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

The center hasn't been the most productive Devil, with only two points in 16 games, but he has been getting some power play minutes lately, so his absence will give valuable power play minutes to one of his teammates. Sergey Kalinin could get that time, as the man just below Josefson on the depth chart, but Kalinin isn't much of a fantasy option either.

Josefson (concussion) has been activated off injured reserve and will suit up against Washington on Thursday, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Josefson has been sidelined for New Jersey's last five outings with this concussion and was a healthy scratch for the seven games before that. Unless he can start securing more regular ice time, owners may want to consider other blue line options.

Josefson (concussion) will travel with the team for Thursday's contest against Washington, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Josefson remains on injured reserve and has yet to get clearance to suit up, but joining his teammates on the road is certainly a good sign. With Vernon Fiddler (lower body) designated for IR, there is an open roster spot for Josefson if he can pass the concussion testing. Even if he does slot back in, the 25-year-old has not recorded a point since Nov. 6 and probably shouldn't be expected to suddenly start scoring at will.

Josefson (concussion) will miss Tuesday's matchup with the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Josefson has missed all but two of the Devils' last 14 contests due to injury or just being a healthy scratch. When in the lineup, the center has garnered a paltry two helpers. Considering his inability to secure regular ice time, fantasy owners may want to consider other options down the middle of their lineups.

Josefson was placed on injured reserve Thursday due to a concussion.

EDGE Analysis

Josefson was designated for IR retroactively which will allow him to be eligible for the Devils' Dec. 17 matchup with the Penguins. Even when healthy, the center has been used sparingly as he has appeared in only 14 games thus far. With just two points on the year, it is unlikely the 25-year-old will suddenly start scoring once he is cleared to return, which gives him minimal fantasy value the rest of the way.

Josefson sat out Wednesday's' practice with an upper-body injury, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Josefson has been out of the lineup for the Devils' last two outings as a healthy scratch, so it is unclear when he may have picked up this knock. The 25-year-old has been used sparingly this season even when healthy. As such, if he is ruled out against Philadelphia on Thursday, the center's absence will likely have minimal impact on most fantasy lineups.
