In a corresponding transaction, the Devils recalled forward Andreas Johnsson from the Utica Comets, where he leads the team in points with six (1g, 5a). After being placed on waivers about a week ago, Johnsson appears motivated, and this stint with the Devils could see him re-gain his place in the lineup. Possibly, he can elevate his trade value, in the same light, as he might be stuck under a deep, talented forward group, and New Jersey might seek to shed cap before the deadline; Johnsson makes $3.4 million per season, which makes him the sixth-highest paid NJ forward.
