Nick Bjugstad snaps scoring drought with assist in overtime loss

Nick Bjugstad picked up an assist in Wednesday’s 3-2 overtime loss to the Penguins, ending a six-game scoring drought.

Fantasy Impact

Bjugstad has been streaky this season, previously notching four points over a six-game stretch before hitting his recent slump. While his bottom-six role limits his offensive upside, he provides some value in deep leagues that reward physical stats, with 75 shots on goal, 69 hits, and a minus-8 rating through 42 appearances. Fantasy managers in standard formats can safely leave him on the wire unless he finds a more consistent offensive groove.
