Gionta (ankle) out, Josefson in for Devils vs. Predators

Jacob Josefson

Jacob Josefson will return to the New Jersey Devils lineup for Sunday’s game against the Nashville Predators.

Tom Gulitti of Fire & Ice reports Josefson will play in place of forward Stephen Gionta due to a sore ankle. Gionta was hurt when his ankle rolled as he went into the boards from a check by Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Dion Phaneuf on Friday night. He was helped off the ice that game but returned to action.

Josefson has played in four games this season with no points. Gionta had been playing on the Devils fourth line with Ryan Carter and Cam Janssen. Josefson will now slot in between those two.
