Joseph was brought up to the taxi squad Tuesday.
Joseph or fellow taxi-squad addition Juuso Riikola figures to step into the lineup against Ottawa on Friday unless Mike Matheson or John Marino is activated off the NHL's COVID-19 protocols. For his part, the 22-year-old Joseph has seen action in four NHL games this year in which he recorded seven shots, six hits and two PIM while averaging 18:14 of ice time.
