Bruins general manager Don Sweeney opted for a depth move before Monday’s NHL trade deadline, acquiring 28-year-old forward Marcus Johansson from the Devils in exchange for a 2019 second-round draft pick and a 2020 fourth-round draft pick.
Johansson has 27 points in 48 games this season.

First contact
Johansson missed the last two months of the regular season last year after receiving a concussion on a Jan. 23 elbow from Brad Marchand.
Marchand put a shot on net with roughly two minutes remaining in the third period in a game against the Devils.
