Borgstrom had eight goals, 13 assists, 10 PIMs and a -4 plus/minus through 54 games with Hershey (AHL) this season and has been called up to Washington to make his Capitals debut Tuesday. The 25-year-old has previously played in 110 NHL games, picking up 13 goals, 13 assists, and 104 SOG.
Borgstrom was the No.23 overall pick in 2016 and was traded to Chicago in 2021. He never really carved out a large role with the Blackhawks, finishing the 2022 season with just seven points (4G / 3A) in 52 games. In Washington, he'll likely start the season with Hershey (AHL) but could be the first call-up when the Capitals are in need of a centre.
Borgstrom has been a healthy scratch for the last three games but will replace Mackenzie Entwistle in the lineup on Tuesday. Borgstrom has scored four goals with three assists (seven points) in 39 games this season.
Borgstrom was a healthy scratch last night vs. the Blue Jackets but will replace Josiah Slavin in the lineup on Friday. Borgstrom has scored just four goals with three assists (seven points) in 35 games this season.
Borgstrom has played in nine straight games but has gone pointless in his last eight, so he'll come out of the lineup on Thursday. Philipp Kurashev will replace him in the Blackhawks' bottom-6.
Borgstrom is dealing with a non-COVID illness that will force him to miss a second straight game on Wednesday. The move to IR means he will miss at least one more game but is eligible to return to the lineup Saturday in Dallas if he's healthy.
Borgstrom was promoted to the top line and scored a goal in Thursday's win in Montreal but will not be available on Saturday. With Borgstrom out, Dylan Strome will re-enter the lineup and Kirby Dach will be promoted to the top line.
Borgstrom will miss Tuesday's game vs. the Penguins due to a non-COVID-related illness. Reese Johnson was recalled from the AHL on Monday and will draw in to replace Borgstrom.
Borgstrom is now the fifth player and eighth member of the Blackhawks' organization to land in COVID-19 protocol. Borgstrom can test out of protocol before Wednesday's game, but consider him questionable vs. the Maple Leafs.
Borgström was a first-round pick (No.23 overall) in 2016 and was traded to Chicago in the deal that sent Lucas Wallmark and Lucas Carlsson to the Panthers. Borgström spent the 2021 season in Finland, where he had 11 goals and 10 assists (21 points) in 30 games. In 58 career NHL games with Florida, the 23-year-old has tallied nine goals and 10 assists (19 points).
Borgstrom failed to record a point in four games this season and was a healthy scratch in each of the last two games. He heads to Springfield, where he started last season and had five goals and 17 assists (22 points) in 24 games.
Borgstrom has been a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Jayce Hawryluk on Monday afternoon. Borgstrom has no points, one shot and two PIMS in three games this season.
Borgstrom opened the season with the Panthers, picking up a single goal in four games. Since being sent to Springfield, the former first-round pick ranks third on the team in points with 22 (5G / 17A) in 24 games.
Borgstrom seemed like a lock to make the Panthers’ opening night lineup as a third line centre or winger, but he will start the year in the AHL. The 6-foot-3, former first-round pick (No. 23 overall) turned pro at the end of last season after compiling 23 goals and 29 assists (52 points) in 40 games at the University of Denver.
