Blomqvist made 29 saves on 32 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs on Saturday. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

It's hard to fault Blomqvist on any of the goals. He was left high and dry on a two-on-none break, and William Nylander ripped it past him high early in the second period. Matthew Knies beat the Pittsburgh netminder from the crease about two minutes later, and Mitch Marner ripped one past him on a breakaway early in the third. With Alex Nedeljkovic (lower body) on the shelf and Tristan Jarry's poor performance in Pittsburgh's season opener, Blomqvist has started two straight games and could get rewarded with more playing time.
