Boqvist scored a second-period goal during Saturday's 5-1 victory over the host Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Boqvist, who scored his second goal in four games Saturday after starting the season with one assist in his opening eight outings, is attempting to solidify his role as a bottom-six forward on the NHL's hottest club. The 2017 second-round draft pick helped his cause by converting a second-period tally that brought an early exit to goalie Anton Forsberg and sparked the Devils to their 12th straight win. However, Boqvist didn't make much of a case after generating just one shot for the 10th time in 12 appearances. In his other two starts, he had two shots.

Boqvist recorded his first point of the season with an assist versus Vancouver on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Boqvist has played in three straight games after having been a healthy scratch for the prior six outings. The 24-year-old center will likely remain a fringe roster option this year.

Boqvist signed his qualifying offer Friday, which is a one-year, two-way deal.
EDGE Analysis
Boqvist drew into 56 games with the Devils last season, picking up 10 goals and 23 points over that span. Despite his two-way deal, the 23-year-old forward will almost certainly spend most of the 2022-23 campaign with the big club, but he'll likely be a healthy scratch from time to time.

Boqvist finished the 2021-22 season with 23 points, including 10 goals, in 56 appearances.
EDGE Analysis
Boqvist set career highs across the board heading into restricted free agency. Assuming New Jersey re-signs the 23-year-old forward, Boqvist will head into next season as a favorite to hold down a spot in the bottom six.

Boqvist scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Boqvist tallied at 7:57 of the third period, and Andrew Hammond was able to make that tally stand as the game-winner. This was Boqvist's third goal in his last four games. The 23-year-old is looking more comfortable in a third-line role lately, and he's reached the 20-point mark for the first time in his career. He's added 66 shots on net and a minus-2 rating in 50 appearances.

EDGE Analysis
Boqvist gave the Devils a 2-1 lead late in the first period. The 23-year-old has enjoyed a steady April with five points and 12 shots on net in his last eight games despite continuing to see a third-line role at even strength with little power-play time. The center is up to eight goals, 19 points, 64 shots on net and a minus-3 rating in 49 appearances.

Boqvist netted a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Boqvist tallied at 19:36 of the second period to give the Devils their first multi-goal lead in the game. The 23-year-old has become more consistent on offense with two goals and three helpers in his last nine outings. The Swede has seven tallies, 18 points, 62 shots on net, 28 hits and a minus-4 rating through 47 outings. He's still stuck in a bottom-six role, so his scoring contributions will probably remain modest.

Boqvist scored a goal, supplied an assist and went plus-2 in Monday's 7-2 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Boqvist tallied in the second period and set up Dougie Hamilton's third-period marker. The two-point effort snapped a four-game drought for Boqvist, who continues to make occasional contributions on offense from the bottom six. He's at 12 points, 38 shots on net and a minus-3 rating in 27 contests overall, surpassing his 11 points from 63 games over the previous two years.

Boqvist scored an empty-net goal on four shots in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
The Blues pushed back late in the third period Thursday, but Boqvist's empty-netter was the insurance the Devils needed to seal the win. The 23-year-old has scored all four of his goals this season in his last six games, adding two assists in that span. The Swede now has 10 points, 31 shots on goal and a minus-5 rating in 22 appearances. He played on the third line Thursday and could get a longer look in the middle six if he can sustain his recent surge.

Boqvist scored a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Boqvist assisted on Dawson Mercer's first-period goal before potting his third of the season in the second period. After dishing out four helpers without a goal in his first 16 appearances of the season, the 23-year-old Swede has three goals and two assists in his last five games.
