Boqvist signed a one-year, $850,000 contract with the Islanders, the team announced Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Boqvist has bounced between four teams across his six-year NHL career, but has earned himself an additional season with the Islanders. A midseason waiver claim from Florida, the 24-year-old posted two goals and six assists in 17 games after arriving on Long Island and was a fixture on the team's second power-play unit.

Boqvist notched two assists in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Returning from an upper-body injury in time to face the team he spent the last three seasons with, Boqvist helped set up tallies by Pierre Engvall in the first period and Anders Lee in the second. Boqvist was pressed into service as a forward due to the absences of Mathew Barzal (knee) and Hudson Fasching (illness), but with the Islanders now completely healthy on the blue line, it's not clear if there will be room for Boqvist at his usual position. On the season, he's delivered four goals and 13 points in 31 appearances.

Since being claimed off waivers from Florida on Jan. 31, the 24-year-old Boqvist has two goals, five points, 16 shots on net, five blocked shots and six hits in 12 appearances with the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Boqvist was also dealing with an illness Tuesday, though it's unclear if he's recovered from it yet. In any case, he won't be in Thursday's lineup, sitting out for the fourth straight game. The 24-year-old's next chance to play is Saturday versus the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Boqvist seems unlikely to play Tuesday against the Penguins considering he's under the weather on top of dealing with an upper-body injury. Tony DeAngelo, Ryan Pulock and Scott Mayfield will round out the right side of New York's blue line if Boqvist is unable to suit up in Pittsburgh.

Boqvist has four goals, 11 points, 37 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and 11 hits through 30 appearances between the Panthers and Islanders this season.

EDGE Analysis

Boqvist was injured Tuesday in Los Angeles, seeing only 7:51 of ice time. The defenseman has two goals and five points in 12 games with the Islanders after he was claimed off waivers from Florida on Jan. 31. Scott Mayfield is expected to rejoin the lineup after being a healthy scratch Tuesday.

Boqvist is reportedly dealing with an upper-body injury suffered against the Kings on Tuesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

There was no update regarding Boqvist's injury from the team Tuesday, and it's unclear whether he'll be available Friday against the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Boqvist was initially hurt on a hit in the second period. He stayed on the bench up until the intermission, but he did not come back out with the Islanders for the third period. If Boqvist can't play Friday against the Oilers, Scott Perunovich, Scott Mayfield or Mike Reilly would be options to replace him on the third defensive pairing.
