Boqvist will draw into the Devils lineup on Monday.
Boqvist played 12:16 TOI in the Devils second game of the season but has been a healthy scratch in four of their first five games. The 2017 second-round pick will skate on the third-line with Jack Hughes and Wayne Simmonds.
The Devils have signed Jesper Boqvist to a three-year, entry-level contract.
New Jersey selected Boqvist with the No.36 overall pick in 2017. The 20-year-old centre has been in the Swedish Elite League since 2016 and is coming off of a season where he had 35 points (13G / 22A) in 51 games with Brynas IF—good for second on the team.
