Two more goals, assist vs. Sharks Nylander scored a pair of goals and added an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over San Jose.

Impact Nylander extended the Blue Jackets' lead to 2-0 in the opening minute of the second period, beating Magnus Chrona with a wrister off the rush, before adding an assist on Johnny Gaudreau's goal later in the frame. Nylander would add a third point, matching a season high, with an empty-netter in the third. The 26-year-old winger has found his scoring touch since joining Columbus at the trade deadline, tallying eight goals and 11 points in 10 games, earning a spot on the Jackets' top line with Gaudreau and Boone Jenner.

Goal surge continues Thursday Nylander scored his fifth goal of the season in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Oilers.

Impact The 26-year-old winger gave the Blue Jackets a 2-0 lead in the first period, benefitting from an aggressive forecheck by Cole Sillinger and snapping a shot past Calvin Pickard from the slot. Nylander was viewed as a throw-in to the Emil Bemstrom trade with Pittsburgh in February, but Columbus may have uncovered a gem -- William's younger brother has erupted for five goals and seven points over the last five games.

Scores hat trick Nylander scored three times on four shots in Monday's 6-3 win over Vegas.

Impact It was a night to remember for Nylander. Not only did his team get a huge win over Vegas but he scored the first hat trick of his career. This was only the fourth goal of the season for Nylander as he gets acclimated with his new team since being acquired from the Penguins on Feb. 22.

Blue Jackets' Alex Nylander Pots Three Goals For First NHL Hat Trick vs. Golden Knights

MARCH 5, 2024 • YOUTUBE

Deals helper Saturday Nylander notched an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Nylander's Blue Jackets career started with little fanfare over two scoreless outings, but he's picked up three points over his last two games. The 26-year-old winger also went scoreless in five contests with the Penguins prior to his trade to Columbus in February. Nylander has seen middle-six usage and some power-play time with his new team, though fantasy managers will likely want to see a longer run of success before getting invested in the winger's performance.

Bright spot in Thursday's loss Nylander scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Playing his third game since being acquired from the Penguins in the Emil Bemstrom deal, Nylander collected his first points as a Blue Jacket and scored his second career power-play tally in the third period with a shot that eluded Spencer Martin. The talent that made Nylander the eighth overall pick in the 2016 Draft has never shown up consistently in the NHL, but it appears as though he'll get a long look in a prominent role with the Jackets.

Back in AHL Nylander was sent to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Friday.

Impact Nylander has been a disappointment in his limited NHL career, as he was selected by Buffalo eighth overall in 2016. He played the 2019-20 season in the NHL with the Blackhawks, scoring 10 times and adding 16 assists in 65 games, but he has played sparingly ever since. Nylander has yet to pick up a point in five NHL games this season and had five goals and 10 points in 14 AHL games before his recall.

DECEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
