INJURIES

Lightning sign 2-time Stanley Cup champion Yanni Gourde to a 6-year contract worth nearly $14M

The Tampa Bay Lightning are keeping Yanni Gourde around for the long term
JUNE 2
Had surgery during absence Bjorkstrand underwent surgery after suffering from compartment syndrome, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports Friday.
Impact With the news that Bjorkstrand had surgery, it seems unlikely he would have been available for the rest of the postseason. In his 18 regular-season games with the Bolts, the 30-year-old winger registered five goals, four assists and 30 shots while averaging 14:03 of ice time. The 30-year-old winger will enter the 2025-26 campaign in the final year of his contract and should be capable of reaching the 40-point threshold for the sixth straight year.

Not playing in opening round Coach Jon Cooper said Saturday that Bjorkstrand (lower body) will not play in the first round versus Florida, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Bjorkstrand sat out the final three games of the regular-season. He had 21 goals and 25 assists across 79 regular-season games split between Seattle and Tampa Bay this season. He could be ready for the start of the second round, should Tampa Bay get past the Panthers.

Lightning Announce Rough Oliver Bjorkstrand Injury News The Tampa Bay Lightning have announced that winger Oliver Bjorkstrand will be out week-to-week due to a lower-body injury.
APRIL 13 • THEHOCKEYNEWS.COM
Deemed week-to-week Bjorkstrand (lower body) is week-to-week and a timeline for his return is unclear, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports Sunday.
Impact Bjorkstrand will miss the team's final three games of the regular season and the beginning of the playoffs, but the Lightning hope to get him back at some point in the postseason. Bjorkstrand has produced 21 goals, 46 points, 154 shots on net and 74 hits across 79 appearances between Tampa Bay and Seattle in 2024-25. The Lightning recalled Conor Geekie from AHL Syracuse on Sunday to replace Bjorkstrand in the lineup.

Two points in OT loss Bjorkstrand scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple leafs.
Impact With Jake Guentzel (personal) away from the team, Bjorkstrand moved up to the first power-play unit and took full advantage of the opportunity, producing both his points in the third period to help force OT and earn a point in the standings for the Lightning. The veteran winger is having a strong finish to the regular season, delivering four goals and eight points over the last 10 games, including four points (one goal, three helpers) with the man advantage.

Hands out assist in shootout loss Bjorkstrand had an assist, fired three shots on goal and added three hits in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Sabres.
Impact Bjorkstrand has three goals and three helpers over his last eight contests. The 29-year-old winger has settled into a third-line role with power-play time since behind traded from the Kraken, though his Lightning tenure got off to a shaky start with one goal in the first seven games. Overall, he's produced 20 goals, 24 assists, 147 shots on net, 74 hits and a plus-2 rating over 76 outings this season.
APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE
Five points in last six games Bjorkstrand scored a goal Tuesday in a 4-1 victory over the Islanders.
Impact Bjorkstrand scored the game's first goal in the first period. He deflected a shot in the low slot past Ilya Sorokin's blocker. The goal was his 20th this season; that was Bjorkstrand's fourth consecutive 20-goal campaign. It took the winger a bit to get comfortable in Tampa Bay, but after one point in his first seven games, the winger has five in his last six. Bjorkstrand might be a sneaky add for a late-season push.

Four points in last four games Bjorkstrand scored twice in an 8-0 win over Utah on Thursday.
Impact He made it 6-0 late in the second on a one-timer from the hash marks. Bjorkstrand scored his second at 14:54 in the third for the 8-0 final. He had scored a goal in his first game in a Bolt uniform, but he'd put up just two helpers in the next nine games. Still, he has four points (two goals, two assists), including two PPA, and eight shots in his last four games. This warming trend could help you this week.

MARCH 28
Snags assist Saturday Bjorkstrand logged a power-play assist in Saturday's 6-4 loss to Utah.
Impact Bjorkstrand snapped a six-game point drought when he helped out on a Brayden Point tally late in the first period. The 29-year-old Bjorkstrand has filled a middle-six role since he was traded to the Lightning from the Kraken, but he has just two points over nine appearances with his new team. For the season, he's at 39 points, 133 shots on net, 68 hits and a minus-3 rating over 69 contests. His ice time is down by more than a minute per game following the trade, which speaks to the Lightning's much stronger forward depth, which could make it tough for Bjorkstrand to be consistent on offense.
