Oliver Bjorkstrand Recovering From Surgery

Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Oliver Bjorkstrand missed the postseason due to left thigh compartment syndrome. General manager Julien BriseBois said on Friday that Bjorkstrand required emergency surgery on April 12 after injuring his leg the previous day in a game against the Detroit Red Wings. The Danish veteran was acquired by the Lightning from the Seattle Kraken on March 5. He made 18 appearances with the team, recording five goals and nine points. There is no timetable for his return. The 30-year-old will be in the final season of a five-year, $27 million contract in 2025-26. If he can get back to 100 percent before the start of next season and does not experience any lingering issues from the surgery, Bjorkstrand should enjoy a good campaign on a talented Lightning roster.

Oliver Bjorkstrand Will Not Play In Round 1

Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Oliver Bjorkstrand (lower body) has been ruled out for the team's first-round playoff series against the Florida Panthers. Bjorkstrand sustained a lower-body injury on April 11 and is considered week-to-week. While splitting the season between Tampa Bay and the Seattle Kraken, Bjorkstrand posted 46 points (21 goals, 25 assists) in 79 appearances. Conor Geekie has enjoyed a productive spell as Bjorkstrand's replacement in the lineup, scoring twice in three games. He looks set to remain on the third line for Tuesday's postseason opener against the Panthers.

Oliver Bjorkstrand Out Week-To-Week

Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Oliver Bjorkstrand (lower body) has been labeled as week-to-week by head coach Jon Cooper. The veteran forward suffered a lower-body injury on Friday against the Detroit Red Wings and is set to miss the team's final three regular-season games as well as the start of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Bjorkstrand, a trade deadline acquisition from the Seattle Kraken, has notched nine points (five goals, four assists) in 18 games with the Lightning. Conor Geekie has been recalled from the minors and will replace Bjorkstrand in the lineup on Sunday against the Buffalo Sabres. The 20-year-old has posted 12 points (six goals, six assists) through his first 49 NHL career games in 2024-25.

Lightning Acquire Oliver Bjorkstrand

The Tampa Bay Lightning have acquired right wing Oliver Bjorkstrand from the Seattle Kraken. Bjorkstrand will head to Tampa alongside fellow forward Yanni Gourde, while the Lightning sent out two first-round draft picks (2026 and 2027), a 2025 second-round pick, and forward Michael Eyssimont. Tampa Bay also received a 2026 fifth-round pick in the deal. Bjorkstrand moved to Seattle in 2022-23 after being traded by the Columbus Blue Jackets. He recorded 141 points (56 goals, 85 assists) in 224 games with the Kraken, ranking him fifth on the franchise's all-time scoring list. This season, Bjorkstrand has scored 16 goals and 37 points in 61 games. It's possible that the Danish forward may receive less ice time with the Lightning, which could hurt his fantasy value.

Oliver Bjorkstrand Continues Scoring Tear With Four-Point Effort

Seattle Kraken right wing Oliver Bjorkstrand had a monster outing against the Rangers on Sunday, racking up two goals and two assists in a 7-5 victory. He became the first player in franchise history to post multiple four-point efforts with the team. Three of his points, including both goals, came in the second frame, matching Seattle's all-time record for most points scored in a single period. Following a slow start to the season, things have clicked for Bjorkstrand lately, as he's tallied five goals and 12 points in his last nine outings. The prolific run has boosted Bjorkstrand's points tally for the season to 20 (nine goals, 11 assists) through 28 appearances.

Oliver Bjorkstrand Good To Go For Start Of Season

Seattle Kraken right wing Oliver Bjorkstrand (undisclosed) is fully healthy for the start of the 2024-25 NHL season. The Danish winger was hurt playing for his country in Olympic qualifiers a few weeks ago, but he has shaken off the problem ahead of training camp. Bjorkstrand has been one of the Kraken's most consistent players and should be good for 50-plus points again in 2024-25. He enjoyed a career year last term with a 59-point effort across 82 games. The 29-year-old finished second in scoring and led the team with a career-high 39 assists and 25 power-play points.

He led the team with 39 assists last season while adding 20 goals with 186 shots on net in 82 games. The nine-year veteran also topped the Kraken squad with 25 power-play points.

The last few weeks have been rough for Bjorkstrand, but he can still be satisfied with his work in 2023-24. The 28-year-old sits tied for the team lead with 24 points (nine goals, 15 assists) through 31 games.

He scored his seventh goal of the season and reached 12 helpers for the campaign with a hat trick of assists. Jaden Schwartz and Jordan Eberle have also had a four-point outing with the NHL's newest franchise. Bjorkstrand now heads into the next game as the Kraken's scoring leader for the season.

Oliver Bjorkstrand Scores Late Goal In Game 7 Loss

Seattle Kraken right wing Oliver Bjorkstrand scored the lone goal for the team in Monday's 2-1 loss against the Stars in Game 7 of the Western Conference second-round series. Bjorkstrand's fourth goal of the series took place in the final minute of the third period, and as a result the Kraken were unable to send the game to overtime after having a faceoff in the offensive zone in the closing seconds of the contest. Bjorkstrand contributed to the balanced scoring attack by the Kraken as the 28-year-old forward finished the playoffs with four goals and four assists in 14 games played.

Oliver Bjorkstrand Sends Colorado Packing With Two Goals

Seattle Kraken right wing Oliver Bjorkstrand scored both of the team's goals when the NHL new boys shocked Colorado with a 2-1 Game 7 victory on Sunday. The goals game inside a five-minute stretch in the second period. Bjorkstrand had a quiet series and hadn't scored a single goal before Sunday, but he was like a man on a mission on the ice in Game 7, with three additional shots from him hitting the goal frame. The Kraken will need more of the same from Bjorkstrand in the second-round series against Dallas.

Oliver Bjorkstrand Appears Ready To Play Sunday

Seattle Kraken right wing Oliver Bjorkstrand (lower body) looks set to play Sunday versus Colorado despite exiting the previous game with an injury. He was knocked out of the lineup with a lower-body injury Friday against Columbus, but Bjorkstrand was present at Sunday's morning skate, which is a good indication that he won't have to miss any games with the injury. The 27-year-old has been a regular in the Kraken top six, picking up 13 goals and 33 points in 62 outings.

Oliver Bjorkstrand Sustains A Lower-Body Injury

Seattle Kraken right wing Oliver Bjorkstrand sustained a lower-body injury in Friday's 4-2 win over Columbus. He had a power-play assist and three shots on goal in the game, playing for 12:08, and the team initially regarded his return as doubtful, but the Danish winger couldn't make it back in the end and could now face a spell on the sidelines. Bjorkstrand is the seventh-highest scorer on the squad with 33 points in 62 games. He's been on the first power-play unit and his absence is also set to open up a top-six spot.

Oliver Bjorkstrand Traded To Kraken

The Seattle Kraken have acquired forward Oliver Bjorkstrand from the Blue Jackets in exchange for a third- and fourth-round pick in the 2023 NHL draft. The 27-year-old had a career year during the 2021-22 NHL season, scoring 28 goals and finishing with 57 points through 80 games. The Blue Jackets needed to trade Bjorkstrand in order to stay below the salary cap after the free-agent signing of forward Johnny Gaudreau and recent contract extension for forward Patrik Laine. Bjorkstrand will have late-round fantasy draft value heading into the upcoming season as a key forward for the Kraken in their second season as a franchise.

Oliver Bjorkstrand Produces Four Points In Sunday's Win

Columbus Blue Jackets winger Oliver Bjorkstrand recorded his second four-point performance of the season in Sunday's 6-4 win over Vegas, notching a goal and three assists. All of his assists came on goals by Cole Sillinger, who made himself the second-youngest player in franchise history to score a hat trick. Max Domi had a pair of assists as well, and the line ended up combining for nine points in the game. Bjorkstrand has now scored in six of his last 10 appearances, pushing his account for the season up to 21 goals and 45 points. He fires off a lot of shots and registers hits regularly, which makes the Danish winger an attractive fantasy piece.

Oliver Bjorkstrand Scores Twice Against Toronto

Columbus Blue Jackets winger Oliver Bjorkstrand had a two-goal game in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to Toronto, putting the team on the scoreboard in the second period with a power-play marker and adding an even-strength goal in the third frame. The Danish winger led all skaters with seven shots and delivered one hit in 18:57 of ice time. Bjorkstrand has been awfully quiet lately but maybe this will spark him back to life. He tops the team's scoring charts with 21 points and has scored eight goals in 24 outings this season.

Oliver Bjorkstrand Posts Another Multi-Point Game

Columbus Blue Jackets winger Oliver Bjorkstrand recorded his third multi-point game of the season on Monday, finishing a 4-1 win over Dallas with a goal and an assist. He opened the scoring 5:53 into the game and was part of Blue Jackets history in the second frame, helping Gregory Hofmann become the oldest player in franchise history to score his first career goal. Bjorkstrand's numbers at the start of the season look very impressive, with the 26-year-old picking up nine points in six outings, but he's blown hot and cold, grabbing the points during his three multi-point efforts.

Oliver Bjorkstrand Produces Three-Point Night Against Islanders

Columbus Blue Jackets winger Oliver Bjorkstrand was in a giving mood on Thursday, handing out three assists in a 3-2 overtime win against the Islanders. One of the helpers came on the power play. This is the second big performance of the season for Bjorkstrand, who opened the campaign with a four-point effort. Sadly, he didn't collect any points in between. The Danish winger has two goals and five assists for the season, with three of his seven points coming with the man advantage. Bjorkstrand will need to become more consistent, but his fantasy stock is already on the up.

Oliver Bjorkstrand Explodes For Four Points

Columbus Blue Jackets winger Oliver Bjorkstrand opened the season with a huge performance, finishing an 8-2 victory over Arizona with two goals and two assists. He joined Rick Nash as the only players in franchise history to collect four points in a season opener. The four-point effort included two power-play points. Bjorkstrand was plus-two for the contest and had three shots in 12:58 on the ice. Bjorkstrand won't be killing it every night, but he's been a consistent scorer over the last couple of seasons, and with the Jackets looking full of goals, the Danish winger is set to enjoy another productive year.

Oliver Bjorkstrand Grabs Three Points In Wednesday's Victory

Columbus Blue Jackets winger Oliver Bjorkstrand was the man of the hour on Wednesday against Nashville, finishing a 4-2 win with two goals and one assist. He upped his tally for the year to 17 goals and 42 points. Bjorkstrand has been by far the most consistent performer on a struggling Columbus team this season, and he's having a nice finish to the year with 10 points in nine games. He gets to complete the slate with a pair of very juicy matchups against the Red Wings, who have given up five points in six games to the Danish winger this season.
