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

Height 6'3"
DOB 1/10/2002

Gets win in relief
GPittsburgh Penguins
October 17, 2024
Blomqvist turned aside 26 of 28 shots after replacing Tristan Jarry midway through the first period in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Sabres.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old entered the game with the Penguins down 3-1, and his strong performance wound up netting him his second win in three appearances this season. Blomqvist's 2.86 GAA and .913 save percentage are making a case for a bigger role in the Pittsburgh crease, and perhaps even the starting job given Jarry's atrocious 5.45 GAA and .833 save percentage -- at least until Alex Nedeljkovic (lower body) gets healthy.

Potential starter Friday
GPittsburgh Penguins
October 17, 2024
Blomqvist, who came into Wednesday's 6-5 win over Buffalo in relief of Tristan Jarry, could get the starting nod versus the Hurricanes on Friday, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
Blomqvist has easily been the better of the two Pittsburgh backstops to open the season, going 2-1-0 with a .913 save percentage and 2.86 GAA. With Alex Nedeljkovic likely suiting up for AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Friday as he works his way back from a lower-body injury, head coach Mike Sullivan may not have the choice of waiting for Tristan Jarry to rediscover his confidence and may once again turn to Blomqvist for the youngster's third NHL start.
