Rangers' Will Borgen: Pots goal in Thursday's loss
Rotowire
Borgen scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Borgen has four points, 19 PIM, 19 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 11 appearances in March. The offense isn't much to talk about, but the 28-year-old blueliner has chipped in decent category coverage that could make him an option in deep fantasy formats. For the season, he's at five goals, 12 points, 67 shots on net, 112 hits, 104 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 72 appearances between the Rangers and the Kraken.

Rangers' Will Borgen: Generates helper
Rotowire
Borgen provided an assist in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blue Jackets.
Borgen has earned three points over eight contests in March. The 28-year-old helped out on Artemi Panarin's second-period tally in this game. Borgen continues to offer physical play and shutdown defense in a top-four role for the Rangers. He's at 11 points, 63 shots on net, 101 blocked shots, 108 hits, 36 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 69 appearances between the Rangers and the Kraken this season.
Borgen scored a shorthanded goal, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-0 win over the Islanders.
Borgen ended an 11-game goal drought with his tally late in the first period. The 28-year-old isn't known for his offense, but four points over his last 13 games makes for decent production from a shutdown defenseman. Overall, he's at nine points, 59 shots on net, 103 hits, 91 blocked shots, 17 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 63 appearances between the Rangers and the Kraken this season.

Rangers' Will Borgen: Manages assist in loss
Rotowire
Borgen registered an assist in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Borgen ended a seven-game point drought with the helper on Mika Zibanejad's first-period tally. The 28-year-old Borgen had an assist in the first and last contest of February. The defenseman continues to see top-four minutes as a shutdown player, though he has managed six points over 28 appearances since he was traded from Kraken. Overall, he's at eight points, 57 shots on net, 101 hits, 85 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating across 61 outings in 2024-25.
Borgen scored a goal in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Avalanche.
The $20.5 million man -- thanks to the five-year extension he signed Saturday -- got on the scoresheet in his first game since putting pen to paper. Borgen has a point in each of the last two contests. While the offense is a nice bonus, it's his defensive stability that gave the Rangers confidence to keep him around for the long run. Borgen is at six points, 44 shots on net, 78 hits, 67 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating through 51 appearances this season, but he's only minus-1 while earning four points over 18 outings with the Rangers after a poor start to the year with the Kraken.

Rangers' Will Borgen: Inks five-year contract
Rotowire
Borgen signed a five-year, $20.5 million contract with the Rangers on Saturday, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic.
Borgen is playing out the final season of his two-year, $5.4 million deal. The 28-year-old has two goals, five points, 15 PIM, 78 hits and 66 blocks in 50 appearances between Seattle and the Rangers in 2024-25. New York acquired him from the Kraken on Dec. 18 as part of the return for sending Kaapo Kakko to Seattle. Borgen has averaged 18:35 of ice time across 17 outings since the trade.

Rangers' Will Borgen: Tallies assist Thursday
Rotowire
Borgen notched an assist and had two shots on goal in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Flyers.
Borgen's helper was in the second period where he set up linemate K'Andre Miller's third goal of the season. The 28-year-old blueliner is up to five points on the season with three points since the Rangers acquired him via trade Dec. 18. Since the move, Borgen has been averaging a TOI of 18:35, which is three and a half minutes more than his ice time earlier this season with Seattle. With the Rangers winners of 10 consecutive games, the defenseman should continue to see consistent minutes, but that won't translate to more offensive production unless his role changes.

Rangers' Will Borgen: Points in consecutive contests
Rotowire
Borgen produced an assist, two hits and four blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Stars.
Borgen opened his Rangers tenure with no points over seven contests, extending a drought from his time with the Kraken. He has now gotten on the scoresheet in consecutive games with a goal and an assist in that span, doubling his point total for the campaign to four. The 28-year-old is unlikely to suddenly become a dynamic scorer -- he plays a physical shutdown game, though it helps that he's seen top-four minutes with the Rangers after being limited to the third pairing in Seattle. For the season, Borgen has two goals, two assists, 33 shots on net, 64 hits, 53 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating over 42 appearances.
Borgen deposited a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Borgen recorded his first point with the Rangers since being acquired in a trade from Seattle on Dec. 18. The right-shot blueliner's 22:18 of ice time Sunday was the most he has received this season, but that was most likely due to the lopsided score. On the season, Borgen has chipped in two goals and one assist across 41 games split between the Kraken and Rangers. The 28-year-old won't be much of a fantasy factor outside of deeper formats that reward non-scoring production.

Rangers' Will Borgen: Heading to Big Apple
Rotowire
Borgen was traded from the Kraken to the Rangers, along with a 2025 third-round pick and a 2025 sixth-round pick, in exchange for Kaapo Kakko on Wednesday, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.
Borgen will essentially replace the physicality lost by the Rangers' trade of Jacob Trouba to the Ducks earlier in December. Kakko had been struggling to stand out in a third-line role, but he's still young enough to be of interest to another team. Borgen won't be a fantasy factor -- expect him to see bottom-four minutes and add physicality with little offense. He has two points, 48 hits, 37 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating through 33 appearances.

Kraken's Will Borgen: Sticking in lineup without scoring
Rotowire
Borgen was held off the scoresheet for the 17th straight game in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Senators.
The Kraken don't have a strong offense, and that makes it tough for a defense-first player like Borgen to chip in points. The 27-year-old has just two points over 33 outings this season. He's added a physical element with 48 hits, 37 blocked shots and nine PIM. Borgen seems to be pretty safe in the lineup -- Josh Mahura has typically only played when there's an injury concern.

Kraken's Will Borgen: Nets first goal of season
Rotowire
Borgen scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
The goal was Borgen's first point since he had an assist versus the Blues on Opening Night. The 27-year-old has been a regular on the Kraken's third pairing, but his role is more of a shutdown blueliner rather than a big scorer. Borgen has two points, 15 shots on net, 27 hits, 15 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 16 appearances.

Kraken's Will Borgen: Earns two points in win
Rotowire
Borgen scored a goal, added an assist, logged two hits and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-2 preseason win over the Oilers.
Borgen typically isn't a huge part of the offense -- he set a career high with 25 points last season. The 27-year-old helped out on a Brandon Tanev goal in the second period, and his teammate returned the favor late in the third. Borgen will likely begin 2024-25 on the third pairing with no power-play time, though he can be a help to fantasy managers playing in deep leagues that reward physical play.

Rotowire

Borgen had the final goal in the game, snapping a six-game point drought. The 27-year-old defenseman has put together a career year with three goals, 25 points, 91 shots on net, 186 hits, 108 blocked shots, 65 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 77 appearances. Borgen continues to serve as a physical presence on the second pairing.

Kraken's Will Borgen: Posts assist in loss
Rotowire
Borgen notched an assist, six shots on goal, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Canadiens.
The Kraken have scored just seven goals over their last six games, so depth players like Borgen have had few chances to get involved on offense. He set up a Jordan Eberle tally in the second period of this contest. Borgen has two helpers through 11 outings in March, but he's been solid this season with 24 points, 78 shots on net, 172 hits, 95 blocked shots, 61 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 70 appearances.

Borgen had a shot tipped in by Matty Beniers in the third period. With five helpers over his last 10 outings, Borgen continues to chip in some surprising depth offense while adding physical play and defense on the Kraken's second pairing. The 27-year-old blueliner has a career-high 23 points with 67 shots on net, 56 PIM, 162 hits, 84 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 64 appearances this season.

Rotowire
Borgen notched an assist, three shots on goal, four hits an two blocked shots in Thursday's 2-0 win over the Penguins.
Borgen has four helpers and 13 hits over his last five games. The defenseman helped out on an Oliver Bjorkstrand tally in the first period, which ended up being the game-winner. Borgen has enjoyed a career year so far with 22 points, 62 shots on net, 56 PIM, 150 hits, 77 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 59 appearances as a defensive stalwart on the second pairing.
