Boqvist has just one assist over his last 18 games after being held off the scoresheet Thursday in a 4-1 win over the Red Wings.
Boqvist's play early in the season earned him a two-year contract extension March 4, but he has little to show for since putting pen to paper. Overall, he's matched his career high of 23 points this season (12 goals, 11 assists), while adding 81 shots on net, 174 hits and a plus-1 rating over 75 appearances. He's not at risk of losing his spot in the lineup yet, as he plays a valuable defensive role in the bottom six.

Panthers' Jesper Boqvist: Hands out helper in win
Rotowire
Boqvist produced an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
Boqvist has just two helpers over nine games since his last goal. He's seen time as a middle-six forward for much of the season, and he should continue to see more ice time as long as Matthew Tkachuk (groin) is out of action. Boqvist is up to 12 goals, 10 helpers, 62 shots on net, 128 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 56 appearances. He's one point shy of matching his career high from 56 games in 2021-22, though his uptick in production this year is fueled by a 19.4 shooting percentage that could dip down the stretch.

Rotowire
Boqvist supplied an assist and four hits during Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Capitals.

Panthers' Jesper Boqvist: Finds twine in win
Rotowire
Boqvist scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and went plus-3 in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.
Boqvist has scored three times over his last six games. The 26-year-old contributed one of the Panthers' four tallies in the second period to turn Saturday's contest into a romp. He's scored a career-best 12 goals this season while adding eight assists, 52 shots on net, 109 hits and a plus-1 rating over 47 appearances. Boqvist will likely push for a career year nearly across the board in 2024-25.

Panthers' Jesper Boqvist: Eight points in last 10 games
Rotowire
Boqvist scored a goal Saturday in a 3-0 win over the Ducks.
Boqvist drove in on John Gibson at 11:22 of the second period and scored his career-high 11th goal on a wrister that trickled through the netminder. He has six goals, two assists and 17 shots in his last 10 games after putting up 11 points in his first 34 outings. Couple this recent uptick in offense with his 102 hits in 44 games, and Boqvist is suddenly relevant in formats that count these secondary categories.
Boqvist scored a goal, took two shots and recorded three hits in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Devils.
Boqvist might play in the fourth line, but he's been surprisingly productive in fantasy recently. The 26-year-old has found the back of the net five times over his last eight appearances, a stretch in which he's also racked up two assists, 14 shots on goal, 22 hits and three blocked shots. However, expect some regression in the scoring column, as Boqvist has posted a shot percentage of 35.7 percent over that eight-game stretch, a figure that won't be sustainable in the long term.

Panthers' Jesper Boqvist: Tallies twice in win
Rotowire
Boqvist scored two goals on three shots, added five hits and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-1 win over Utah.
Boqvist's pair of goals came in the third period. He scored early in the frame, with that goal being the game-winner before adding an empty-netter later on. The 26-year-old forward has four goals and two assists over his last five outings, and it looks like he's meshing well on a line with Anton Lundell and Carter Verhaeghe as the Panthers continue to spread out their offense. Boqvist is up to nine goals, eight assists, 41 shots on net, 87 hits and a minus-1 rating through 39 appearances.

Panthers' Jesper Boqvist: Snags helper in loss
Rotowire
Boqvist produced an assist and three hits in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Avalanche.
Boqvist continues to chip in -- he has four points over his last four contests. The 26-year-old is doing his part in a third-line role, and while that's not usually enough for fantasy managers, he's a lock to be in the lineup when healthy. Boqvist has 15 points -- surpassing his total from last season (14) with the Bruins -- while adding 38 shots on net, 82 hits and a minus-3 rating over 38 appearances. He could take a run at his career-high 23-point effort from 2021-22.

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: 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 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.
