Bjugstad (upper body) delivered four hits in 12:49 of ice time in a 3-2 loss to the Kings on Saturday.

Bjugstad had missed the first eight games of 2024-25 before making his season debut in Saturday's matchup. His return solidifies the middle ice for Utah. He will lock down the third-line center role behind Barrett Hayton and Logan Cooley, and he should start making an offensive impact once he gets his game legs under him.
