Bjugstad had 23 points (13G / 10A) in 59 games with Arizona last season before being traded to the Oilers at the deadline, where he added another six points (4G / 2A) in 19 games. The 6-6, 209 lbs. centre provides some stability and a veteran presence in the Coyotes middle-6, but has not had more than 29 points in a season since 2018.
Bjugstad had 13 goals, 10 assists, 111 SOG, 26 PIMs and a +7 plus/minus through 59 games with the Arizona Coyotes and has been dealt to Edmonton (with 50% salary retention) for a 3rd Round Pick and Michael Kesselring.
Bjugstad has been a healthy scratch for the last seven games but will replace Matt Boldy (upper-body) in the lineup on Saturday. Bjugstad, who will centre the fourth line, has just 10 points (5G / 5A) in 41 games this season.
Bjugstad has been sidelined by an upper-body injury since the Winter Classic (Jan.1) but will play Sunday in Edmonton. Bjugstad, who has five points (4G / 1A) in 28 games this season, will replace Nico Sturm on the fourth line.
Bjugstad was reportedly in a lot of discomfort after getting hurt in Tuesday's practice and will not play in Thursday's game in Boston. Connor Dewar is expected to replace Bjusgstad on the Wild's fourth line.
Bjugstad has been a healthy scratch for the last three games but will replace Victor Rask in the lineup on Wednesday. Bjugstad, who will skate on the fourth line with Nico Sturm, has two goals and no assists in 15 games.
Bjugstad was considered questionable after missing Tuesday's practice and will not play vs. the Avalanche. Luckily for the Wild, they will get both Mats Zuccarello and Zach Parise back in the lineup.
Bjugstad missed 46 games after undergoing core muscle surgery in 2020 and then was hurt again three games after returning to the lineup and then the season was paused. Bjugstad has missed a total of 92 games (39.5%) over the last three seasons but will look for a fresh start in his hometown. Bjusgstad was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota and went to the University of Minnesota, so this should be a welcomed move for the 28-year-old centre. Both Mikko Koivu and Alex Galchenyuk are UFAs at season's end, so there could be a very clear path to a bottom-6 role for Bjugstad.
Bjugstad recently returned to the Penguins lineup after a 46-game absence following core muscle surgery. Three games in, Bjugstad is back on the sideline, out week-to-week with a lower-body issue.
Bjugstad underwent core-muscle surgery in mid-November and missed the last 46 games. Bjugstad, who has one goal in 10 games this season, is expected to skate on the third line with Jared McCann and Patric Hornqvist.
Bjugstad will miss his third straight game on Thursday and will miss at least two months after undergoing surgery today. Injuries have devastated the Penguins in the first two months of the season but they’ve continued to win games. Luckily, they’ll get Patric Hornqvist back to replace Bjugstad on Thursday.
Bjugstad has missed the last nine games with a lower-body injury but was back at practice on Friday and will be a game-time decision in Dallas. Bjugstad centred the second line with Bryan Rust and Patric Hornqvist and skated on the second power-play unit in practice.
Bjugstad has been sidelined since October 5th but will travel on the Penguins upcoming road-trip, which starts Tuesday in Florida. There's no indication whether or not Bjugstad will play on the trip but this is a step in the right direction for the 27-year-old centre.
