Marcus Johansson Returns for New Jersey
7 years agoNew Jersey Devils left wing Marcus Johansson (concussion) has been cleared to return and will play in Game 3. Johansson missed the final 35 games of the regular season and the first two games of the playoffs while recovering from a concussion. He appears to be jumping back into his spot in the top six, as he practiced on New Jersey’s second line with Pavel Zacha and Patrick Maroon on Monday morning. Three of New Jersey’s five goals in this series have come from their top line, so they are hoping the addition of Johansson helps spark the secondary scoring that they have been lacking. Johansson has more playoff experience than most of his teammates and scored 15 points in his last 25 playoff games, making him an under-the-radar, inexpensive DFS option that has performed better than his cost would suggest.
