Devils’ Andreas Johnsson: Traded to New Jersey
The Maple Leafs traded Andreas Johnsson to the New Jersey Devils for Joey Anderson on Saturday, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.The Maple Leafs are clearing up cap space and getting a decent player in return, but Johnsson’s addition in New Jersey is a big move for the team. Johnsson scored 20 goals two seasons ago, and he produced eight goals and 13 assists over 43 games with the Maple Leafs last year. The 25-year-old winger has experience playing alongside Auston Matthews and John Tavares, so he can be deployed in the top six and on the power play. This is an excellent pickup by the Devils as they start pressing the gas on their rebuild.

Andreas Johnsson (knee) took part in the team’s special-teams portion of practice Thursday.While Johnsson was able to get onto the ice, the fact that he remains limited doesn’t bode well for his availability versus the Blue Jackets on Sunday. The youngster missed 27 total games this season due to injuries. When healthy, the 24-year-old managed eight goals and 13 helpers in 43 appearances.
