Boedker scored his first goal as a member of the Sharks in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
The former Coyote only played 13:37 in this one, but made the most of his ice time by lighting the lamp midway through the first period. Boedker, the eighth overall pick in 2008, has been remarkably consistent over the four seasons, scoring at a clip of 0.61 points per game (156 points in 255 contests). Because of that production, he was regarded as one of the biggest fantasy breakout candidates this offseason given his change of scenery from Arizona (and a brief stop in Colorado) to Northern California. While the goal is a nice start, Boedker will likely need to play more than 13-14 minutes per night if he hopes to best his career high of 51 points.

Boedker signed a four-year, $16 million contract with the Sharks on Friday, TSN's Pierre LeBrun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Boedker tallied 39 points (13 goals, 26 assists) over 62 games with Arizona last season before heading to Colorado via trade in February, where he added 12 points over 18 games with the Avalanche. The 26-year-old winger's arrival will add yet another scoring threat to a San Jose forward group that is already loaded with talent. It isn't clear where Boedker will slot in with the Sharks, but the 2008 first-round pick could push for a top-six role with his new club, potentially skating alongside Logan Couture on San Jose's second line.

Boedker lit the lamp in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Boedker went eight games without a goal after notching two against Vancouver on March 16. The 26-year-old hasn't taken many shots in that span -- 11 total -- but managed to turn his only attempt into a goal Tuesday for No. 17 on the year. The winger is just two shy of tying his career high, but with two games remaining, a new milestone may have to wait until next season.

Boedker scored two goals, including the game-winner, in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Vancouver.
EDGE Analysis
Although the Danish winger hasn't exactly blown up since coming over to Colorado at the trade deadline, he's offered a pretty consistent offensive threat, netting five points in seven games. As his chemistry level increases with the Avs' other outstanding forwards, his production should as well, making Boedker a strong down-the-stretch play.

Boedker scored a goal -- the first with his new team -- in Thursday's 3-2 win over Florida.
EDGE Analysis
Boedker now has two points in two outings with Colorado, averaging 16:43 of ice time in that short span. The 28-year-old has fit in well with Nathan MacKinnon and Gabriel Landeskog, which should bode well for his fantasy outlook moving forward. The former first-round pick has 41 points on the year, 10 shy of matching his career high.

Boedker was traded from the Coyotes to the Avalanche on Monday in exchange for Alex Tanguay, Conner Bleackley and Kyle Wood, Renaud LAvoie of TVA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Boedker provides the Coyotes with some short-term improvement among the forward ranks, having amaassed 39 points (13 goals) and 144 shots on goal over 62 contests this season. The move likely won't have a large impact on the landscape of the team, and it wouldn't be surprising if he slots in for Tanguay on the second line, but that should be revealed when he joins the team at practice. His first chance to play with the new club comes Tuesday against the Wild, but that's only if he makes it to Minnesota in time to do so.

Boedker could be traded before Monday's trade deadline, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to the report, a trade involving Boedker seems inevitable. Arizona has not been able to reach a long-term deal with the winger, who was signed to a one-year contract last season. The 26-year-old has been struggling lately, registering just one goal in the last 26 games. He's currently fifth on the team with 13 goals and third in points with 38. Perhaps gearing up to move Boedker, Arizona claimed winger Jiri Sekac off waivers Saturday.

Boedker earned his 20th assist of the season in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the visiting Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Boedker has been quietly consistent all year long, racking up 32 points to go with 107 shots on goal in 42 games. He's tied with stud blueliner Oliver Ekman-Larsson for the Coyotes' lead in points and is on pace to eclipse his career-high 19 goals and 51 points set in 2013-14. Just be mindful of his team-worst minus-14 rating, which is also the eighth-poorest in the NHL.

Boedker scored the overtime-winning goal and had an assist Sunday against Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Another fantastic showing from Boedker, who had three assists Saturday against the Kings. The 26-year-old is thriving on the top line this season and is up to 12 goals and 28 points in 35 games. He's delivered in the clutch with four game-winners and continues to deliver for a Coyotes team siting fourth in the Western Conference.

Boedker assisted on all three of Arizona's goals in Saturday's overtime loss to Los Angeles.
EDGE Analysis
While this one may be chalked up as a loss for the Coyotes, it didn't come without Boedker's best efforts. The 26-year-old is having a fantastic season on Arizona's top line, registering 11 goals and 26 points in 34 games. His lack of PIM and minus-11 rating hurt his fantasy value, but he's been really consistent with his offensive production and is playing a key role on the first power-play unit, so make sure you have him in your lineup.
