Johansson registered a single shot through 18:18 of ice time (1:45 with the man advantage) during Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The winger missed the previous four games with an ankle injury, so it was encouraging to see him return to his regular workload Thursday. Johansson has been limited to just 15 games all season, so he might be floating around a few waiver wires. With a top-six role and power-play time, the 27-year-old Swede has the potential to be a solid source of secondary scoring in most fantasy settings.

Johansson (ankle) will be in the lineup against the Rangers on Thursday, Andrew Gross of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fantasy owners will no doubt be hoping this is Johansson's last significant absence of the season. All told, the winger has missed 18 games to injury while playing in just 15. When healthy, the 26-year-old has tallied four goals and three assists and should be able to offer top-end value, if he can stay on the ice.

Johansson (ankle) will have a decision made Thursday regarding his status for that day's contest against the Rangers, Andrew Gross of The Bergen Record reports.

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.

Johansson (ankle) will not be available for Monday's tilt versus Anaheim, Andrew Gross of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johansson will miss his fourth outing due to his ankle ailment and 18th game overall this season due to injury. When in the lineup, the winger has produced at a decent rate, as he has registered four goals and three assists in just 15 outings. Unless he can get healthy -- and stay that way -- the 26-year-old could fail to reach the 40-point mark for the first time since the lockout shortened 2012-13 season.

Johansson (ankle) is a game-time decision for Monday's contest against Anaheim, Andrew Gross of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Swedish winger took part in Sunday's practice, though he skated as an extra forward during line-rush drills. If Johansson isn't included on a line during Monday's morning skate, it's unlikely that he'll be able to play the Ducks. That said, Gross also reported that if Johansson doesn't return to game action Monday, he'll be back in the lineup Thursday against the Rangers.

Johansson (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

By using a retroactive designation, Johansson is eligible to return to action Monday against the Ducks, although whether he is cleared in time remains to be seen. The winger was already ruled out Thursday, but will now also miss Friday's tilt versus Dallas. The Swede had just recently return from injury, compiling one goal and one helper in his five games back. If Johannsson can ever get healthy, he should challenge for a fifth consecutive 40-point campaign.

Johansson (ankle) won't travel with the team to Montreal for its game Thursday, Andrew Gross of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

The former Cap has endured an injury-hit campaign and will have missed 16 of the Devils' 31 games following Thursday's contest. New Jersey returns home to play the Stars on Friday, and unless Johansson can fully participate in the morning skate, his availability for that contest seems in doubt, as well.

Johansson (ankle) won't play in Tuesday night's home contest against the Kings. He remains day-to-day.

EDGE Analysis

The Swede's chances of drawing into the next game really took a hit when he missed practice Monday. Johansson has posted a ridiculous 23.5 shooting percentage this season, but then again, he's only taken 17 shots through 15 games as he's struggled to adjust to his new digs in New Jersey following seven seasons in the nation's capital.

Johansson missed Monday's practice and is day-to-day with an ankle injury, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johansson suffered the injury when blocking a shot during Saturday's contest against the Rangers and the team decided that he would be best served by giving his ankle another day of rest. New Jersey is back in action Tuesday against the Kings and Johansson's participation will likely hinge on whether or not he's able to take the ice for Tuesday's morning skate. Check back tomorrow for an update on the first-year Devil, who's scored four goals and seven points in 15 games this season.

Johansson (concussion) will suit up against the Avalanche on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Johansson had previously been medically cleared to return, but the coaching staff wanted him to get some practices under his belt for re-inserting him into the lineup. The winger should resume a top-six role in addition to logging minutes on the power play, despite notching just one assist with the man advantage. The Swede's impending return likely factored into the club's decision to trade away Adam Henrique in favor of blueliner Sami Vatanen.
