Forward Marcus Johansson is ready to seize the opportunity as the hunter instead of the hunted in his first season with the New Jersey Devils.
Johansson was traded to the Devils from the Washington Capitals for two 2018 NHL Draft picks on July 2 after spending the past seven seasons in Washington and qualifying for the Stanley Cup Playoffs in six of them. The Capitals won the Presidents' Trophy as the top team in the League in each of the past two seasons; the Devils have failed to qualify for the playoffs five straight seasons.
