Nets first NHL goal Friday Brandsegg-Nygard scored a goal, recorded an assist, fired four shots on net, served two PIM and dished out four hits in Friday's 6-3 loss to Seattle.

Impact Brandsegg-Nygard tallied his first goal of his NHL career Friday late in the third period.

Overall, the 21-year-old Brandsegg-Nygard is up to three points, 14 shots on net and 15 hits across four appearances in 2026-27. He's off to a blazing start in the new campaign compared to his rookie season, where he posted just one point and 20 shots on net in 14 regular-season games.

As long as he holds a role on Detroit's second line, Brandsegg-Nygard is a fantasy sleeper who can provide two-way upside in leagues that value banger stats.
