Mike Babcock on the call-up of Andreas Johnsson: “He’s ultra competitive and very intelligent”

How important is it to reward seasons like the one Andreas Johnsson has had and give him a chance to possibly come up here, with the consistency and everything that he’s done?

Babcock: He’s had a good year. We haven’t had a lot of opportunity to give him a chance. Even now, we’re obviously going to have to sit someone else to do it. That makes it hard. But we have opportunity here this week with three games, so we’ll have a look at him and therefore, if we need him come playoff time, we have an understanding of what he can do.
