Oliver Bjorkstrand - NHL News & Rumors

Four assists in last four games Bjorkstrand picked up two assists in a 7-3 win over the Sharks on Saturday.

Impact He had three shots. Bjorkstrand has two, two-assist games in his last four outings, but he's simply not doing enough to warrant fantasy consideration. He has struggled in Tampa Bay, and he has just 20 points, including 14 helpers, in 41 games. He's on their fourth line. Fantasy managers had high hopes for Bjorkstrand this season after he delivered 59 points in 2023-24 and four consecutive 20-plus goal seasons (six in his last seven years).

Puts up two assists Bjorkstrand logged two assists and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over the Canadiens.

Impact Bjrokstrand has four goals and five assists over his last nine outings. The 30-year-old winger has been on the fourth line at even strength recently, but he remains involved on the power play. Bjorkstrand is at 18 points (eight on the power play), 60 shots on net, 36 hits, 18 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 38 appearances, and he should remain capable of producing around a 40-point pace.

Scores again Monday Bjorkstrand scored a goal in Monday's 4-1 win over the Blues.

Impact Bjorkstrand has four goals and three assists over his last seven contests. He's played his way into the top six over that stretch, which has also seen him earn a larger share of power-play minutes. The 30-year-old winger is at six goals, 16 points, 59 shots on net, 33 hits, 18 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 36 appearances. He is unlikely to match his career-best 59-point season from 2023-24, but a big second half should be enough to get him over the 40-point mark again.

Nets team's lone goal in loss Bjorkstrand scored a power-play goal Thursday in a 2-1 loss to the Kings.

Impact Bjorkstrand opened the scoring in the first period when Anthony Cirelli found him open in the low spot. He tried a jam play, which Anton Forsberg stopped, but the rebound was there for the taking. Bjorkstrand saw daylight five-hole, and he made no mistake. He has six points (three goals, three assists) and 11 shots in his last five games. Three of those points, including two goals, came on the power play. Is he warming up? Maybe. Bjorkstrand was supposed to bring solid veteran offense to the Bolts, but he has struggled to bring that part of his game to the Sunshine State. He has just five goals, 10 assists and 58 shots this season (34 games).

Massive three-point game in win Bjorkstrand scored twice and added an assist in an 8-4 win over the Devils on Thursday.

Impact Bjorkstrand took a cross-ice feed from Jake Guentzel, stepped out of the right circle toward the net and roofed the puck over Jake Allen's glove to put the Bolts up 5-1 in the second period. And he added a power-play snipe late in the game for Tampa's eighth goal. The goals were his first in 10 games. Bjorkstrand has waited all season for a game like this. Prior to Thursday, he had just two goals and eight assists in 30 contests. The winger can score -- he had 20 goals and 59 points in 82 games with Seattle in 2023-24. Hopefully, this game is a turning point for the Dane's season.

Puts away power-play tally Bjorkstrand scored a power-play goal on two shots, added two hits and went minus-2 in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Capitals.

Impact Bjorkstrand scored the go-ahead goal at 5:21 of the second period, and the Lightning were able to grow and maintain their lead from there. The 30-year-old winger hadn't scored since Opening Night versus the Senators. He has heated up recently with four assists over his last eight outings. For the season, Bjorkstrand is at two goals, eight points (four on the power play), 36 shots on net, 20 hits, 13 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 21 contests. He's been in a middle-six role but could get promoted to a more prominent spot if Nikita Kucherov (undisclosed) is unable to play Monday versus the Flyers.

Dishes two assists Bjorkstrand notched two assists, four shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Bjorkstrand put an end to his 10-game point drought with this performance. The 30-year-old winger helped out on goals by Dominic James and Nikita Kucherov. Bjorkstrand has been a consistent presence in the middle six, though his ice time has started to drop amid the recent slump. On the year, he has five points, 22 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-2 rating across 14 appearances. His offense should come around as long as he doesn't lose his power-play role.

Sleeper season may be on tap Bjorkstrand (lower body) scored a power-play goal in a 5-4 loss to Ottawa on Saturday.

Impact It came on an easy chip from the slot off a pass by Jake Guentzel. Bjorkstrand has alternated seasons of high 50s scoring with mid 40s over his last four years (57, 45, 59, 46), and this season is set to be the former. Bjorkstrand is deployed on a scoring line in Tampa, so that high-50s total is well within reach. He's a sneaky play; check your wire, as he may not have been drafted.
