Panthers' Jesper Boqvist: Two tallies including GWG
Rotowire
Boqvist scored two goals, one the game-winner, in Monday's 5-3 victory over the Rangers.
The 26-year-old found the back of the net late in the second period and midway through the third, both times pouncing on rebounds after big initial saves by Igor Shesterkin. It's Boqvist's first multi-goal performance since March 5, 2023, and in the current campaign, he's produced seven goals and 13 points in 35 games while adding 79 hits, which is already a career high.

Panthers' Jesper Boqvist: Not available Friday
Rotowire
Boqvist will miss Friday's tilt against St. Louis with an upper-body injury, Colby Guy of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Boqvist is on a two-game point streak and has five goals and 11 points in 33 outings this season. Adam Boqvist is expected to move up from the blueline if Sam Bennett (illness) is unable to go, as the Panthers have only 11 healthy forwards at this time.

Panthers' Jesper Boqvist: Will be checked for injury
Rotowire
Boqvist left Wednesday's game versus the Wild due to an upper-body injury sustained in the third period and will be evaluated further Thursday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
Boqvist hit his head on the glass near the bench. He had an assist in the contest, his sixth point in the last 10 games. The Panthers can't afford many injuries at center -- Aleksander Barkov just returned from an illness and Sam Bennett missed Wednesday's contest while under the weather as well. Boqvist should be considered questionable to play Friday at home versus the Blues.

Panthers' Jesper Boqvist: Opens scoring with shortie
Rotowire
Boqvist scored a shorthanded goal in Monday's 6-5 win over the Oilers.
Boqvist tallied at 2:42 of the first period, setting off a big night for both offenses. The 26-year-old ended his personal four-game slump with the goal. He's now at five goals, five helpers, 30 shots on net, 70 hits and a minus-5 rating through 32 appearances, primarily in a bottom-six role with no power-play time.

Panthers' Jesper Boqvist: Sets up two goals by Tkachuk
Rotowire
Boqvist delivered two helpers Tuesday in a 5-4 loss to Pittsburgh.
Playing alongside Matthew Tkachuk is a sure way to snap a 22-game assist drought. Boqvist certainly isn't a star, and his four goals, four assists and 24 shots in 26 games seriously limit his fantasy value.

Panthers' Jesper Boqvist: Pots goal in win
Rotowire
Boqvist scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Friday's 6-3 win over the Hurricanes.
Boqvist opened the scoring at 2:26 of the first period. He has four goals this season, but he's had at least four games between each of his tallies, and he hasn't earned an assist since Oct. 12. The 26-year-old forward has six points, and he's added 24 shots on net, 57 hits and a minus-7 rating through 24 outings overall. He's filling a bottom-six role, so he's unlikely to be a steady source of offense.

Panthers' Jesper Boqvist: Expected to play
Rotowire
Boqvist (undisclosed) is expected to play Tuesday against Winnipeg, Colby Guy of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Boqvist participated in Tuesday's morning skate after skipping Monday's practice. He has three goals, five points, 47 hits and 19 shots on net through 18 appearances this season. Florida's only lineup change will be Jonah Gadjovich subbing in for Mackie Samoskevich.

Panthers' Jesper Boqvist: Misses practice Monday
Rotowire
Boqvist wasn't on the ice Monday, raising doubts regarding his availability against Winnipeg on Tuesday, Colby Guy of The Palm Beach Post reports.
According to head coach Paul Maurice, Boqvist is "in pretty good shape," and is expected to participate in Tuesday's game-day skate. If the forward is unable to play, look for Jonah Gadjovich to rejoin the lineup after being a healthy scratch versus Winnipeg on Saturday.

Panthers' Jesper Boqvist: Scores in loss
Rotowire
Boqvist scored a goal on three shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Devils.
Boqvist has played on the second line at even strength over the last two games, even with Sam Bennett returning from a one-game absence Thursday. The increased role looks to be helping Boqvist's chances on offense. He's now at three goals, two assists, 19 shots on net, 46 hits and a minus-4 rating over 17 appearances. The 26-year-old is better suited for bottom-six minutes, but if he can get his offense going, he could be an option for fantasy managers in deeper formats thanks to his physicality.

Panthers' Jesper Boqvist: Scores in Monday's win
Rotowire
Boqvist scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Monday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
Boqvist stayed on the third line with a move to the wing after Aleksander Barkov's return from a lower-body injury moved Anton Lundell down the lineup. The goal ended a four-game dry spell for Boqvist. The 25-year-old forward is unlikely to see anything more than bottom-six minutes when the Panthers have all of their top forwards available. He's produced four points, 10 shots on net, 30 hits and a minus-2 rating over 11 contests this season.

Panthers' Jesper Boqvist: Tallies in overtime loss
Rotowire
Boqvist scored a goal and added two hits in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canucks.
Boqvist's first goal as a Panther came at 11:53 of the first period, just 11 seconds after Teddy Blueger opened the scoring for the Canucks. Injuries have pressed Boqvist into a larger role than expected early in the year. He's held his own with three points, two shots on net, 11 hits and a plus-1 rating across six appearances, but he's best suited for bottom-six usage. He'll likely drop down the lineup again once Aleksander Barkov (lower body) and Matthew Tkachuk (illness) are able to return.

Jesper Boqvist: Heading to free agency
Rotowire
Boqvist will become an unrestricted free agent after not receiving a qualifying offer from Boston, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.
In his first -- and possibly only -- season as a Bruin, Boqvist tallied six goals and 14 points across 47 regular-season contests. He added one assist in eight postseason appearances. The 25-year-old forward has 26 goals and 58 points in 173 games over the last three years.

Bruins' Jesper Boqvist: Offers helper in win
Rotowire
Boqvist notched an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 1.
Boqvist had one goal over his last 11 regular-season appearances. Beyond that the 25-year-old was limited to 14 points, 51 shots on net and 71 hits over 47 contests this season. He'll likely see most of his minutes in a fourth-line role during the playoffs, but Boqvist is not guaranteed a spot in the lineup.

Bruins' Jesper Boqvist: Continues steady run
Rotowire
Boqvist managed an assist in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Kraken.
Boqvist has two goals and four assists over his last six games despite playing on the fourth line for most of that span. The 25-year-old forward has only ever found modest success at the NHL level, so this recent hot stretch is unlikely to last. He's up to nine points, 29 shots on net, 32 hits and a plus-10 rating through 25 outings this season.

Bruins' Jesper Boqvist: Pockets helper Wednesday
Rotowire
Boqvist logged an assist in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Oilers.
Boqvist set up a Trent Frederic tally in the second period. With four points over his last three games, Boqvist has been a steady depth scorer in a bottom-six role. The 25-year-old forward has seven points, 24 shots on net, 30 hits and a plus-8 rating over 22 appearances. Boqvist should remain in a fourth-line role at least until Jakub Lauko (upper body) is ready to return.

Rotowire
Boqvist notched a goal and an assist in Monday's 4-3 shootout victory over the Stars.

The 25-year-old Boqvist has six points (two goals, four assists) through 21 games in a fourth-line role with the Bruins.
