Panthers' Adam Boqvist: Goals in consecutive games
Rotowire
Boqvist scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Penguins.
Boqvist has scored in back-to-back games since he replaced Uvis Balinskis on the Panthers' third pairing. The 24-year-old Boqvist had his tally Tuesday assisted by Matthew Tkachuk and Jesper Boqvist, marking the first time the two Boqvists have featured on the same goal in a regular-season game. This season, the younger brother has two goals, two assists, 16 shots on net and a minus-4 rating across 12 appearances, but it appears he's gaining traction to stay in the lineup.

Panthers' Adam Boqvist: Draws in, scores goal
Rotowire
Boqvist scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Hurricanes.
Boqvist got his first goal of the season during a four-goal burst over a span of 4:42 in the third period. The 24-year-old defenseman hadn't played much in November, dressing in just one of the first 13 games of the month. He replaced Uvis Balinskis in the lineup Saturday and could compete with him moving forward. Boqvist has three points, 14 shots on net, seven blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 11 appearances. His upside comes from offense, but he's unlikely to help in fantasy if he can't stay in the lineup.

Panthers' Adam Boqvist: Limited role in November
Rotowire
Boqvist was scratched for the 14th time in 15 games when he sat out Friday's 6-3 win over the Hurricanes.
Injuries to forwards and Florida's tight salary cap led to Boqvist dressing as the seventh defenseman for much of October. That role has been closed off with the Panthers enjoying fairly good health in November, and Nate Schmidt has played well enough to keep Boqvist in the press box. Through 10 appearances this season, Boqvist has two assists, 11 shots on net, six blocked shots and a minus-6 rating, though he saw power-play time when he was in the lineup.

Panthers' Adam Boqvist: Sets up power-play marker
Rotowire
Boqvist registered a power-play assist in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Islanders.
Boqvist continues to serve as a power-play specialist on the first unit. Both of his points through nine appearances have been power-play helpers, though he's seeing limited ice time overall (11:34 per game) as the Panthers have been forced to roll seven defensemen due to a lack of healthy forwards. Boqvist has added 10 shots on net, five blocked shots and a minus-5 rating, and he may be an occasional healthy scratch once the team is closer to full strength.

Panthers' Adam Boqvist: Logs power-play assist
Rotowire
Boqvist recorded a power-play assist and two PIM in Monday's 4-3 win over the Bruins.
Boqvist's helper was his first point of the season, though he has routinely seen power-play time when in the lineup. The 24-year-old defenseman missed one game after suffering a facial injury when struck by a puck. Boqvist has added five shots on net and a minus-2 rating, but if he remains on the top power-play unit, he should provide noticeable upside on offense.

Rotowire
Boqvist (face) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Ottawa, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
Boqvist exited Tuesday's Opening Night matchup against the Bruins after taking a puck to the face, and he'll be unavailable for at least one game.

Panthers' Adam Boqvist: Leaves season opener
Rotowire
Boqvist (face) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Bruins after taking a puck to the face.
Boqvist was hit by a clearing attempt in the first period and was unable to return. The 24-year-old defenseman has a lengthy injury history, having never played in more than 52 games in a season. Boqvist was set to fill a spot on the No. 1 power-play unit, but Aaron Ekblad will likely take over that role during Boqvist's absence.

Panthers' Adam Boqvist: Inks one-year deal
Rotowire
Boqvist agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Florida on Tuesday.
Boqvist becomes the second member of the Panthers' defensive depth to join the club after getting bought out this offseason, though Nate Schmidt figures to play a bigger role for the club. While Boqvist could certainly spend some time in the minors, the club is buying low on a 23-year-old, eighth-overall pick that has 209 games of NHL experience. Whether Boqvist makes the Opening Night roster will depend heavily on his training camp and preseason performance, likely needing to edge out Uvis Balinskis or Tobias Bjornfot for a spot.

Adam Boqvist: Buyout incoming
Rotowire
According to CapFriendly, Boqvist (upper body) was placed on unconditional waivers by Columbus on Sunday for the purpose of a contract buyout.
Boqvist had one more season remaining on his three-year, $7.8 million contract. He recorded one goal and 10 points in 35 appearances during the 2023-24 campaign after providing five markers and 24 points across 46 outings in 2022-23. Boqvist sat out the final 16 games this past campaign due to injury, but his placement on unconditional waivers means he has a clean bill of health ahead of the upcoming season.

Blue Jackets' Adam Boqvist: Deemed out indefinitely
Rotowire
Boqvist (upper body) is considered out indefinitely ahead of Thursday's clash with the Islanders.
Boqvist has already missed the Jackets' last nine contests and could be in danger of being sidelined for the remainder of the season. With just two points in his last 11 outings, the blueliner's continued absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players. David Jiricek figures to jump back into the lineup versus New York and could see a regular role down the stretch.

Blue Jackets' Adam Boqvist: Exits Thursday's game
Rotowire
Boqvist sustained an upper-body injury and won't return to Thursday's game versus the Senators, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
Boqvist was hurt on a hit in the first period and ruled out prior to the first intermission, which is not encouraging. The 23-year-old defenseman has already missed significant time with upper body and shoulder injuries this season and in his career. The Blue Jackets' next game is Saturday versus the Sharks, but it's safe to assume the team won't rush Boqvist back given its poor position in the standings.
