Hockey Club's Nick Bjugstad: Lends helper Friday
Bjugstad produced an assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers.
Bjugstad set up Lawson Crouse's game-tying goal in the third period. The helper was Bjugstad's first since Nov. 2, though he has four goals over 10 games in that span. The center is at seven points, 24 shots on net, 22 hits and a minus-1 rating through 15 appearances. His production is at a pace just below where he was with 45 points in 76 contests in 2023-24, and it's just enough to put him on the fringe of fantasy consideration in deeper formats.

Hockey Club's Nick Bjugstad: Strikes on power play in win
Bjugstad scored a power-play goal and added two hits in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Penguins.
Bjugstad's first power-play point was also his fourth goal in the last five games. The 32-year-old center has held down a middle-six role since he returned from an upper-body injury Oct. 26. He has six points, 17 shots on net, 19 hits and a minus-1 rating over 12 appearances this season.

Hockey Club's Nick Bjugstad: Scores in loss to Caps
Bjugstad scored a goal, took two shots and recorded two hits in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Capitals.

Hockey Club's Nick Bjugstad: First two goals of season
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.

Hockey Club's Nick Bjugstad: Dishes two helpers in overtime loss
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.

Hockey Club's Nick Bjugstad: Four hits in first game of season
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.

Hockey Club's Nick Bjugstad: Expected to play Saturday
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.

Hockey Club's Nick Bjugstad: Participating in contact drills
Head coach Andre Tourigny said Friday that Bjugstad (upper body) has resumed contact drills and is 7-10 days away from returning, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports.
Bjugstad began the 2024-25 season on injured reserve and was initially expected to be sidelined until the end of November, but it appears as though he'll be in the mix to return to action in late October. While the 32-year-old will still miss a few more games, it's encouraging that he's progressing in his recovery and has developed a return timetable. Over 76 appearances for the Coyotes last year, Bjugstad tallied 22 goals and 45 points while averaging 17:27 of ice time.

Hockey Club's Nick Bjugstad: Starts season on IR

Hockey Club's Nick Bjugstad: Out until November
Bjugstad (upper body) is not expected back until the start of November, per Craig Morgan of ALLCITY Network on Tuesday.
Bjugstad figures to be a lock to start the season on long-term injured reserve considering he will be out of action for more than the required 10 games and 24 days. The absence of Bjugstad from the lineup should open up more minutes for both Logan Cooley and Alex Kerfoot. Additionally, Aku Raty could be in line to crack the 23-man roster thanks to the extra spot that will become available when Bjugstad hits LTIR.

Hockey Club's Nick Bjugstad: Set to miss Opening Night
Bjugstad (upper body) isn't expected to be ready for Utah HC's Opening Night against Chicago on Oct. 8, per Craig Morgan of ALLCITY Network on Wednesday.
It's not clear how much time Bjugstad will miss, but he was already listed as week-to-week as of last Thursday. He had 22 goals and 45 points in 76 contests with Arizona in 2023-24. Once he's available, Bjugstad is expected to serve in a middle-six capacity.

Hockey Club's Nick Bjugstad: Out week-to-week
Bjugstad (upper body) will not be available for the start of training camp and is considered week-to-week, Craig Morgan of ALLCITY Network reports Thursday.
Bjugstad was deemed ready to go Wednesday, so this is a bit of a surprise. The 32-year-old had a good season with the Coyotes last year, scoring 22 times while adding 23 assists in 76 regular-season contests. Look for Bjugstad to garner a role as a middle-six forward once he is healthy.

Hockey Club's Nick Bjugstad: Clear to start camp
Bjugstad (undisclosed) is listed to skate with the first group at Thursday's on-ice practice session, Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Bjugstad missed the last five games of 2023-24, but it doesn't appear that injury is lingering. The 32-year-old is likely to fill a bottom-six role in 2024-25, but he could move into the top six when injuries arise. He was productive with 45 points in 76 outings last season.

Coyotes' Nick Bjugstad: Unavailable due to injury
Bjugstad (undisclosed) won't play Tuesday against Seattle after traveling back to Phoenix, according to Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports.
Bjugstad is considered to be longer than day-to-day due to an undisclosed injury. If he doesn't rejoin the team for the remainder of the trip, he could be out until the Coyotes' regular-season finale against Edmonton on April 17. He has racked up 12 goals and 18 points over his past 22 outings. Jan Jenik, who was recalled from AHL Tucson on Tuesday, will replace Bjugstad in the lineup against the Kraken. Logan Cooley could get a chance to center the top line during Bjugstad's absence.
