So, who’s this Marcus Johansson guy?
The Boston Bruins acquired the Swedish winger Monday afternoon in a deadline deal with the New Jersey Devils. Johansson, 28, has racked up at least 40 points in five of his previous eight seasons. He had 12 goals and 15 assists through 48 games for the Devils this season.

Fellow trade acquisition Charlie Coyle will continue centering the third line between Joakim Nordstrom and David Backes.
