Fantasy Analysis
Jacob Josefson is a versatile forward that is expected to shut down the opposition but can also chip in offensively when needed. The game was his first since injuring his wrist late in the regular season in a game against the Islanders. (Updated 05/21/2012).
05/21/2012 09:47 Pregame Skate: Rangers once again try for two-game series lead
Six times the Rangers have had a one-game lead this postseason. Six times they lost the next game. Will the seventh time be the charm or will the Devils put things back to square one again.
Josefson will turn 21 in March 2012 and is one of the Devils' brighter prospects. Projected as a steady two-way center, he will fill a variety of roles for New Jersey down the line, but consistent offensive production is still a few years away for the promising pivot. Josefson should not be written off for the approaching season, but offensive expectations should be tempered. He's one of a handful of young, talented Swedes on the team along with fellow prospects Mattias Tedenby and Adam Larsson. (Updated 10/4/11)
