2024 Fantasy Outlook

The 2024-25 campaign was expected to be another year in the minors for Blomqvist, despite the fact that he went an impressive 25-12-6 with a 2.16 GAA and .921 save percentage in 45 games for AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. Those plans changed when backup netminder Alex Nedeljkovic suffered a lower-body injury during training camp. Now, the 22-year-old Blomqvist will start the year with the NHL club and will likely feature right away thanks to a season-opening back-to-back for Pittsburgh. Still, once Nedlejkovic is cleared to return, Blomqvist figures to be re-assigned to the minors. Read Past Outlooks

Blomqvist was promoted from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Tuesday.

ANALYSIS
Blomqvist spent the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off with the Baby Pens, suiting up in three contests in which he went 1-1-1 while registering a .900 save percentage. With the Penguins resuming action with a back-to-back against the Capitals and Rangers on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, look for Blomqvist to split the workload with Alex Nedeljkovic.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

PIT

In line to start Saturday

GPittsburgh Penguins

January 17, 2025

Blomqvist is likely to get the starting nod against Washington on the road Saturday after head coach Mike Sullivan told reporters, "I don't think I'm setting him up for success if I just throw him in there tonight. Joel's gonna play games for us," per Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site.

ANALYSIS
Blomqvist will likely be given every opportunity to steal the starting job away from Alex Nedeljkovic, who inherited it by default after Tristan Jarry was sent down to the minors Thursday. Still, the Pens won't want to simply throw Blomqvist to the wolves, as he figures to be their long-term solution between the pipes at this point.
