Snags helper in loss Bjorkstrand provided an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Blackhawks.

The 29-year-old is up to 11 goals, 12 helpers, 73 shots on net, 36 hits and a plus-4 rating through 33 appearances. While in a third-line role, the balance of the Kraken's roster puts most of their forwards on fairly level production. Bjorkstrand has among the highest upside of any Seattle forward, as he should push for the 20-goal and 50-point marks.

Bjorkstrand's still filling a middle-six role at even strength, but he's productive enough currently to be worth a look in fantasy.

Bjorkstrand has 14 points, 55 shots, 20 hits and a plus-3 rating across 24 appearances, making him one of the team's steadiest scorers in 2024-25, though not at the same level that saw him rack up 59 points in 2023-24.

The winger is up to 13 points (two on the power play), 52 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-3 rating across 23 appearances. Bjorkstrand's third-line role isn't a concern on a team like the Kraken, as the ice time is spread fairly evenly around the lineup.

Assists in consecutive contests Bjorkstrand posted an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Monday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.

Impact Bjorkstrand has a helper in each of the last two games, and he's earned five points over his last eight outings. The 29-year-old winger continues to see middle-six minutes, though his 11:43 of ice time Monday was his second-lowest mark of the season. He's up to 10 points, 46 shots on net, 18 hits and a plus-3 rating through 21 appearances. Head coach Dan Bylsma hasn't been afraid to single out a player to send a message to the team, so Bjorkstrand will need to keep his effort level up to avoid another scratch.

NOVEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Earns helper in loss Bjorkstrand notched an assist in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Kings.

Impact Bjorkstrand snapped a three-game slump with the helper. The winger is back on the third line after seeing more ice time in mid-November. He's produced nine points, 43 shots on net, 16 hits and a plus-2 rating through 20 outings this season. Few Kraken forwards produce offense at an elite rate, so Bjorkstrand will need to be steadier to be an option for most fantasy managers.

Impact Bjorkstrand has a goal and two assists over three games since he was a healthy scratch Nov. 5. The 29-year-old winger is finding more consistency while maintaining a middle-six role, though he could be a candidate for the top line if Jordan Eberle (lower body) misses time after exiting Thursday's game. Bjorkstrand is at eight points, 39 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-3 rating across 16 outings this season.
