Bjugstad scored a goal, took two shots and recorded two hits in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Capitals. Bjugstad notched his third goal of the season, but by the time he found the back of the net, Utah was already losing 4-2 midway through the second period. It's worth noting that all three of Bjugstad's goals have come in his last three appearances.

Bjugstad scored two goals while adding three shots, one hit and one blocked shot in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes. Bjugstad missed the first eight games of the season due to an upper-body injury and has struggled to find any sort of rhythm since returning to the ice. These were his first two goals of the season, but the fact that he's gone pointless in six of his eight appearances limits his upside considerably. He has only four points so far (two goals, two assists) while averaging 13:20 of ice time per game.

Bjugstad logged two assists in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Golden Knights. Bjugstad set up goals by Logan Cooley and Alex Kerfoot in this contest. These were Bjugstad's first two points of the year, coming in his fourth appearance after he missed eight games due to an upper-body injury. The 32-year-old center has added six shots on net, nine hits, three blocked shots, two PIM and an even plus-minus rating. Bjugstad offers modest scoring and decent all-around production as long as he can maintain a middle-six role.

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.

Bjugstad (upper body) will be taken off injured reserve and play Saturday against the Kings, per Brogan Houston of Deseret News Sports. Bjugstad missed Utah's opening eight games because of the injury. He had 22 goals and 45 points in 76 appearances with the Coyotes in 2023-24. Now that Bjugstad is healthy, he'll likely serve in a middle-six capacity.
