Blomqvist posted a 27-save shutout in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 1-0 win over Providence on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Blomqvist was making just his second start of the season since he recovered from a season-opening lower-body injury. The 23-year-old has allowed just one goal on 51 shots while winning both of his starts so far. He'll need time to get back up to speed, but his performance in the AHL could keep him from falling too far behind Sergei Murashov on the Penguins' organization depth chart.

Blomqvist (lower body) was activated from non-roster injured reserve and reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Blomqvist will get plenty of playing time with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and could find himself back in the NHL if Tristan Jarry (lower body) remains out of the lineup for an extended period. Blomqvist posted a 4-9-1 record with a 3.81 GAA and an .885 save percentage in 15 NHL games during the 2024-25 regular season.

Blomvist (lower body) was placed on season-opening injured reserve on Monday, per PuckPedia.
EDGE Analysis
Blomqvist is expected to be forced out of action for at least the first two weeks of 2025-26. The 23-year-old made 12 appearances last season for Pittsburgh, but failed to find a rhythm, resulting in a subpar 3.81 GAA and .885 save percentage. Blomqvist could still ultimately play himself into a backup role, but his absence will give Arturs Silovs the first crack behind Tristan Jarry.

Blomqvist (lower body) will be on the shelf for at least four weeks, the team announced Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Blomqvist played in just 15 NHL games last year in which he posted a 4-9-1 record, 3.81 GAA and .885 save percentage. The 23-year-old netminder was unlikely to edge out Arturs Silovs for the backup job Opening Night, but this could provide Sergei Murashov more chances to challenge for a bigger role this year.

Blomqvist (lower body) isn't expected to play in Friday's preseason game against Detroit, the Penguins announced Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Blomqvist had a 4-9-1 record, 3.81 GAA and .885 save percentage across 15 appearances with Pittsburgh in 2024-25. He also had a 2.84 GAA and a .914 save percentage in 18 regular-season outings with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. Blomqvist is projected to begin the upcoming campaign in the minors, provided he's healthy.

Blomqvist suffered a lower-body injury and is considered day-to-day, the team announced Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Blomqvist was unlikely to make the Opening Night roster for the Penguins ahead of Tristan Jarry or Arturs Silovs, so this injury likely will have minimal impact on fantasy managers. Still, with Blomqvist sidelined, the Pens could give prospect Sergei Murashov a few extra minutes during preseason, which could see Blomqvist slide further down the organizational depth chart.

Blomqvist will guard the road goal against Montreal on Monday in exhibition action, according to Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports.
EDGE Analysis
Blomqvist will split the game with Sergei Murashov. The 23-year-old Blomqvist posted a 4-9-1 record with a 3.81 GAA and an .885 save percentage across 15 regular-season appearances with Pittsburgh in 2024-25. He will likely begin the 2025-26 campaign in the minors, as he is currently behind Tristan Jarry and Arturs Silovs on the Penguins' depth chart.

Blomqvist, who is playing for AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, has recovered from his undisclosed injury, Tony Androckitis of Inside AHL Hockey reports Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Blomqvist has a 2.93 GAA and a .910 save percentage in 15 outings with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in 2024-25. He also has a 4-9-1 record, 3.81 GAA and .885 save percentage across 15 appearances with Pittsburgh. Unless Tristan Jarry or Alex Nedeljkovic sustains an injury, Blomqvist will probably spend the rest of the campaign in the minors.

Blomqvist is reportedly dealing with a minor undisclosed injury, per Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The Penguins seem content to run out Tristan Jarry the rest of the way after bringing him up in a swap for Blomqvist on March 3. Between that and the 23-year-old Blomqvist's injury concern, fans and fantasy managers may not see the young netminder in an NHL crease again this year.

Blomqvist was demoted to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Blomqvist has been struggling of late, going 1-2-1 with a 4.30 GAA in his last five outings, including giving up six goals on 33 shots in Sunday's overtime loss to Toronto. With the youngster's performance slipping, the Penguins decided to get him some minutes in the minors while bringing up Tristan Jarry in a corresponding move. If Pittsburgh can move Jarry before the March 7 trade deadline, Blomqvist could find himself back in the NHL sooner rather than later.
