Josefson (groin) was not on the ice for the Devils' pregame warmups on Friday, Tom Gulitti of The Record reports.

Analysis:

Because Josefson was not on the ice for the team's pregame warmups, it's hard to imagine a scenario where he would be able to suit up Friday for the Devils' matchup with Tampa Bay. Tim Sestito will likely center New Jersey's fourth line in place of Josefson.
