Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello was noncommittal when discussing Johan Hedberg's future. All he said was that, "We're working on it. We'll see what happens in the next few hours." Hedberg is essentially the team's third goalie now. The 40-year-old is set to make $1.4 million next season.

Flyers beat writer Tim Panacchio believes the Flyers could target Johan Hedberg as a veteran to pair with Steve Mason in net. Hedberg is under contract with the Devils for one more season but is the odd man out after New Jersey acquired Cory Schneider from Vancouver at the draft Sunday. It would be a bit strange to see a deal done between the two clubs considering the rivalry. Hedberg also owns a no-trade clause and has the right to veto any possible deal. The Devils could also buy out Hedberg, but he would need to be placed on unconditional waivers by noon Wednesday for that to be possible.

New Jersey GM Lou Lamoriello spoke with Johan Hedberg Monday morning. The Devils acquired Cory Schneider from Vancouver on Sunday to play alongside Martin Brodeur next season, so Hedberg is no longer part of the team's goaltending situation. "We sat down for quite a while this morning and he's going to think about some of the things that we talked about and we're going to talk again," Lamoriello said. "We talked about some options and I don't want to get into any of it." Hedberg owns a no-trade clause so he'd have to give the green light to be moved that way. The Devils could also use a compliance buyout on him. Regardless of what method is used, it appears that his days in New Jersey are numbered.

Johan Hedberg kicked out 17 of 21 shots in a 4-0 loss Saturday. Hedberg lost three of his last four games to wrap-up the season. He will finish with an abysmal 6-10-3 record. He'll be 40 by the time the 2013-14 campaign starts and we don't expect him to have much fantasy value next season.

Johan Hedberg will get the nod against the New York Rangers on Saturday. The Devils have nothing left to play for, but this is still mildly surprising because Martin Brodeur also served as the backup on Thursday. Hedberg has a 2.69 GAA and .886 save percentage in 18 games this season.

Johan Hedberg allowed two goals on 18 shots, but earned a victory in a 3-2 win over Pittsburgh Thursday. The Devils season has been a disappointment, but now that they are out of the playoff race Hedberg got his first starting assignment in over a month. His record for the season is now 7-9-3.

Johan Hedberg will get the nod for New Jersey in their last home game of the season Thursday night. He will face the Pittsburgh Penguins in his first outing since March 19. "It's been a while so it will be fun to get a game again," said Hedberg. "It's a great challenge. They're on top of the conference and they're there for a reason. Plenty of talent on that team. We need to be on our toes." He turns 40 years of age this May and is expected to be back with the Devils next season.

Look for Johan Hedberg to start in another game before the season ends. The Devils only have three games left and no back-to-back sets, but Devils coach Pete DeBoer would still like to spread out the remaining goaltending duties. He has a 2.73 GAA and .886 save percentage in 17 starts this season.

The ailment that sidelined Johan Hedberg recently was a sore groin. Hedberg has been dealing with the ailment for a month. It was originally thought that Hedberg had a back problem related to a collision during the Devils' practice on Tuesday. "It wasn't the back," Hedberg said. "I had a little problem with my groin. It's been hanging around for a little bit and it was all right. There was no problem and then something happened during practice and it just got worse. Now it feels better." Hedberg will serve as the backup goaltender on Monday.

It sounds like Johan Hedberg is geared up to play - or at least back up Martin Brodeur - for the New Jersey Devils again. One cannot help but wonder if the clock is ticking on the Swede's scrappy NHL career. The same can be said for the Devils' playoff hopes, which might hurt his chances of playing much.
