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).

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.
